Royal Scandal! All the Stories And Pictures Of Topless Kate Middleton Revealed!
Recently another scandal hit the UK Royal family just week after images of naked Prince Harry leaked to the media. This time, a papparazi photographer captured an estimated 200 photos of wife of UK heir to the throne, Prince Williams, Kate Middleon.
The photos are understood to have been taken using powerful, long lenses by photographers standing on a public road or footpath at a distance estimated at between 800 metres and 1.3 kilometres away.
Age photographer Penny Stephens climbed to the top of Media House, on the corner of Collins and Spencer streets, this morning and zoomed in on Eureka Tower in Southbank, which is about a kilometre away as the crow flies.
Using a 600 millimetre lens and a 2x extender on a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV camera, Stephens was able to zoom in on a balcony near the top of the tower and capture its details in remarkable detail.
Britain's royal family began legal action against a French magazine on Friday for a "grotesque" breach of privacy after it published topless photographs of Prince William's wife Kate Middleton.
Celebrity gossip magazine Closer published a dozen shots of the Duchess of Cambridge on holiday in southern France as she slipped off her bikini top, relaxed on a sun lounger and at one point pulled down the back of her bikini bottoms while William rubbed sun cream on her lower back.
Under the headline "Oh my God!", the photos show the couple, whose regal yet natural conduct since their April wedding has won them fans worldwide, soaking up the sun on the balcony of a 19th century hunting lodge, oblivious to lurking paparazzi.
The spread is a blow to Buckingham Palace as it tries to move on from a scandal over naked shots of Prince Harry that tarred an image bolstered by William and Kate's wedding, the Queen's 2012 Diamond Jubilee and her Olympic Games appearance.
While Closer defended its decision to publish the photographs, a royal spokesperson said it had upset the royal couple, who are currently touring southeast Asia.
"Their Royal Highnesses have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner," a spokesperson for St James's Palace said.
"Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them."
British Prime Minister David Cameron's spokeswoman also said the royal couple should be entitled to their privacy.
