LONDON (Sun, Sep. 16) – According to media reports; official legal
proceedings against the French Tabloid ‘Closer’, in which Kate Middleton’stopless photos were published on Friday, would begin tomorrow (Monday,
September 17).
Italian 'Chi' to publish topless Kate amid condemnation from royal family |
Legal experts from Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton will
reportedly appear in court in Paris tomorrow to prevent further publication of
topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge.
A spokesman for St James's Palace said. “It is the first airing
and we will be seeking an injunction from them using the pictures and it will
lead to a longer court case where damages will be sought.”
On the other hand; the Irish
Daily Star – which published the Kate’s topless photos
after French magazine - on Sunday offered its "deepest
apologies" for publishing of private photos of the wife of Britain's
Prince William but said it would resist efforts by its British partner to close
the paper.
Italian magazine Chi also showed its intentions to publish a special edition
featuring the Duchess’ topless photos tomorrow. If media reports are to be
believed, to everyone’s surprise, Mondadori media group owned by Italy’s ex-PM
Silvio Berlusconi owns both of the magazines - “Closer” and “Chi”.
The published
photos have raised a question over privacy and freedom of the press once again,
especially in Britain, where media could face new regulations after a series of
publishing scandals.
