Kate Middleton - Again

[flip_flop]

Am I missing something here?

The world has seen Kate Middleton's breasts.

So what.

They are just a pair of tits - its not as though the photos are of her bottomless with legs akimbo.

I can, a bit, understand the privacy argument, but the reports all seem to be more concerned with the fact her breasts have been seen and not the invasion of privacy (incidentally, if I understand correctly, it would be perfectly legal for me to walk along a beach taking photos of whoever I liked.........so what is the difference here?).

It was a pretty scummy thing to do, but the bruhaha that has ensued is ridiculous.

''The world has seen Kate Middleton's breasts''

I haven't. Anyway, as breasts go, I imagine, from her scrawny build, that they're nothing worth getting worked up about. Prince Andrew probably has a finer pair.

[emmie]

perhaps it's because the photographer was on private land, the couple were or should have been enjoying some private time and that as has happened before some of the scummy press will do anything to get a picture, story.
If William is angry perhaps it's because of his mothers death, caused in no small measure by the paparazzi chasing her all over the place.

[ummmm]

Agree with Em.

I would be mortified if pictures of me topless ended up on the front page of a magazine and all over the internet. I certainly wouldn't think 'so what'

In France you couldn't technically walk down a beach and do that. You are supposed to have the permission of the photographee.

The photos do have one bum shot, her bikini bottoms pulled down, cheeks on show (quite cute) and PW massaging sun tan oil into the top of them. It's the best of the shots, the other ones are not that spectacular. I'd be bloody furious too and look at what the photographer did to get the pics......that was the really invasive bit.

[EvianBaby]

Me too. If I'm on private land with my husband and decide I don't want any tan lines then why should the rest of the world have a need to see my breasts, just because I married a prince.

I don't really know what they are trying to achieve though, it's not as though it's a shock that a female has boobs.

I think the French are just bitter about the Olympics.

[NoMercy]

I hope William and Kate sue their backsides.

[emmie]

and quite frankly neither would I. The idiot editor of the magazine which published the pictures gushed, oh they are a couple in love, so why shouldn't we take pictures, forgetting clearly that the French press generally leaves it own politicians alone where it comes to matters of sleaze and extremely bad behaviour.

They weren't on a public beach.

if you read this article, not only have they broken privacy laws it would seem they have done this more than once. I read the piece about Prince Charles being photographed a few weeks back, he must have been deeply annoyed at the time.

It's sad but true that this is a lesson to be learned, the Royals are, and will continue to be, fodder for the World Press. More worrying is that anything a long distance camera lens can see is visible to a sniper! However like flip_flop I hope that, in the general light of what is happening elsewhere, this story is allowed to die quickly, at least in the UK media.

[emmie]

perhaps it will in time fade away, but quite honestly if i were William i would bring the entire ton of bricks down on these morons heads.

[douglas9401]

Not much chance of the story being "allowed to die quickly" when the press at home have claimed the moral high ground.
Maggots and vultures will feed till there's nothing left.

[ummmm]

An Italian magazine have said they are going to print them as well.

[emmie]

according to a further news report, an Italian magazine is going to publish the pictures or more, what a bunch of ***.

[emmie]

sorry - a r s e h o l e s

[ojread2]

It isn't that the world has seen them, it is the fact they were published. Actually even photographed

The royal couple deserve privacy on private holidays. They are not celebrities baying for publicity. If it were I would be confused about the uproar, but this was a couple enjoying private time

All I would be worried about now is if the photos can be taken then a bullet can land where someone wants it too

[ELVIS68]

Haven't seen any pics but from her figure I doubt she's got much up top

em10 - "perhaps it's because the photographer was on private land"

Well, the photographer was on a public road, as can be seen from today's papers. Very silly of her to go stripping off where you can be seen from a public road and then complain afterwards. Maybe she/they should have given it some thought before she stripped off in sight of the road.

Ok, whether the magazine should have printed the photos is another matter, but why give them the opportunity? I think she has been rather naive here.

Double standards the british press are getting all the good milage out of this story . We would not print those photo aye sure. Prob cost to much and there would be no profit in them .
