Kate topless ....

[andy-hughes]

It's reported that a magazine in France is to print photos of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing topless, while on holiday.

I think the Duchless is a lovely young woman, but I have no special desire to see pictures of her topless taken from a long way away.

My curiosity is - who would? So the DOC has breasts - shock horror! If anyone wants to see semi-naked ladies, we have a national paper here which prints a pic every single day.

I am utterly unable to see why anyone would be remotely interetested in these photos - but some people must be, hence the publcation.

Anyone know anyone who would buy this mag - or similar?

Good man, dicky.

It's a nice word though - "asstained" - definition: to tattoo or mark someone's backside.

[anneasquith]

' the young royals ' are now celebrities ' a) photographers have long lenses. b) get on the sunbed , :)

i believe it's an invasion of privacy, perhaps they were a little unguarded in their behaviour, but whoever took the pictures did so without their permission, nor the permission of the person who owns the château that they were staying in. I wonder at this because by and large much of the French press does not invade the privacy of it's politicians, it's why so many have got away with such appalling behaviour.

Hang on hang on, em Carry Grant has turned into someone else.

[emmie]

so he has, its my early idol, Clark Gable

[Psybbo]

Clark Gable, em10?

[flobadob]

Please post a link to these images and I will peruse each and every one thoroughly and then decide whether or not I'm offended lol.

[emmie]

sibton, yes it's definitely Clark Gable, i had big crush on him in my teens.

Perhap she should wear a burqini in the shower.

[cubic999]

why is she sunbathing naked, getting a tan... how essex of her.
Maybe if she was such a 'lady' like the our Queen,
cant think of one bad thing in the news about the Queen, or royalities of past...
It's just how people are these days sex, violence, corruptness, etc etc BS RINSE REPEAT.

[emmie]

I actually feel as sorry for William, seeing as how his mother's car was chased by the paparazzi and she died in that terrible accident, with the photographer still snapping away as she lay dying. A further report on the radio just now said there a lot more photo's of Kate, which they intend releasing, poor lass.

<or royalities of past..>

you're joking right?

Edward VIII and his orgies? reported in the US - UK population kept in the dark
Priness Margaret ditto - with known gangsters
Charles and Camilla (with the family's connivance)
etc etc

the difference is that the media of the past were more cowed

[emmie]

not sure they were more cowed, perhaps you haven't noticed it's the French press who have done this, i don't believe the British papers will print them.
Could be wrong of course.

[LoftyLottie]

The royals in the past were all corrupt as far as I can gather. Our present Queen is a treasure. I cannot see how sunbathing topless is corrupt in any way. I find it a bit silly for Kate to do so because paparazzi seem to get everywhere, but morality doesn't come into it.

Anyway, even the present Queen showed her knickers off when she jumped out of the helicopter at the Olympic opening ceremony ;o)

[joeluke]

Wife of the future king, paparazzi lenses will be trained on her every time she sets foot outside

So why run the risk of being photographed by going topless outside?

No sympathy for her, brought it all on herself

[cathfromsaron]

whether clothed or topless, she was on private property!

this is the thin end of the wedge and i'm glad they are suing!

[mike11111]

You forgot to mention the egregious lifestyle of HRH Prince George, Duke of Kent, whose tastes in shagging were extremely catholic, ranging from Princess Marina (his wife) to Noel Coward.

[FredPuli43]

Bit naive of her, considering that she should be aware what the paparazzi can do, but suppose the photographer had been a sniper instead? It doesn't say much for security that a person can get within camera range, which, presumably, is also well within accurate shooting distance.
