Tits declared serious business as royal couple make criminal complaint over topless photos - Polidicks

[url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19615475[/url] [quote=BBC News][B]The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to make a criminal complaint against the photographer who took topless pictures of the duchess.[/B] The couple's lawyers will make the complaint to the French prosecutor on Monday, St James's Palace have said. The images have appeared in French magazine Closer and the Irish Daily Star. An Italian magazine has said it also plans to print the photographs. It comes as the pair visit the Solomon Islands as part of a royal tour. A palace spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a criminal complaint is to be made to the French Prosecution Department." It "concerns the taking of photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge whilst on holiday and the publication of those photographs in breach of their privacy." The couple's legal team will attend the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Nanterre in Paris on Monday, where damages and an injunction will be sought regarding Closer magazine. The legal action also aims to prevent further publication of the images. Closer magazine has defended its decision to publish, saying: "The photos we selected are by no means degrading. "They show a young couple on vacation, beautiful, loving, modern in their normal life." The co-owners of the Irish Daily Star - which also published the photos - condemned the decision to print. [B]Cheerful welcome[/B] BBC correspondent Nicholas Witchell said the royal couple looked relaxed and happy as they arrived on the island as part of their nine-day tour as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. He added that they received a cheerful welcome as they were driven along streets lined with thousands of people. Our correspondent says St James's Palace is making efforts with the French to identify the paparazzi photographer involved. He added that there were no immediate plans to pursue action against the Italian magazine or the Irish Newspaper that have also circulated the pictures but said sources had told him all options remained open. Solicitor Mark Stephens, who specialises in intellectual property rights and human rights, told BBC News that the photographer would have broken the law to take the photographs. "Unless they've driven a motorway through the 648 acres, you'll find that the property (where the duchess was) is at the centre of that location and it's surrounded by hills, so I'm certainly advised that without trespassing - that is without committing an offence - you cannot take the photographs that were taken of the duchess." He added: "There is no doubt here that the princess had an absolute expectation of privacy and that these photographs should never have been taken, could not have been taken without breaking the law, and should never have been published." Former Prime Minister Sir John Major told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that the photographer's actions were those of a "peeping Tom" and a boundary had "plainly been crossed". [B]'Worst excesses'[/B] "The way (these photographs) have been obtained is tasteless. It is the action of a peeping Tom. In our country we prosecute peeping Toms. That's exactly what they have done and they have been peeping with long lenses from a long way away. They're very distasteful." He praised the British press for not publishing the photographs, which were taken from a road some distance from the French chateau where the duke and duchess were staying for a short break. Chi, the Italian magazine, said it would print a special 26-page edition featuring the photographs on Monday. Closer, the French magazine which first published the photographs, and Chi are both part of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's Mondadori media group. Editor Alfonso Signorini said: "The fact that these are the future rulers of England makes the article more interesting and topical. "This is a deserving topic because it shows in a completely natural way the daily life of a very famous, young and modern couple in love." In 2006 the gossip weekly controversially printed photographs of a dying Princess Diana after the 1997 Paris car crash which took her life. Parallels have been drawn between the press intrusion into the life of the duke's mother and the current intense media interest in his wife. "The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the duke and duchess for being so," according to a spokesman for Clarence House, the Prince of Wales's office. Northern and Shell and Independent News and Media, the owners of the Irish Daily Star which printed the pictures on Saturday in its Republic of Ireland edition, condemned the decision and said they had had no prior knowledge of it. Northern and Shell said it had no editorial control over the Republic of Ireland-based newspaper and was consulting lawyers "as a matter of urgency", over what it believed to be "a serious breach of their contract". Chairman Richard Desmond said: "I am very angry at the decision to publish these photographs and am taking immediate steps to close down the joint venture." Independent News and Media said it too had not known the pictures were to be published, calling the decision "regrettable and in poor taste."[/quote]

It's just breasts... Who cares? The photographer should be sacked though if he's a bit pervy.

[QUOTE=digigamer17;37689327]It's just breasts... Who cares?

Why would they fire the photographer of pictures they don't mind publishing.

[QUOTE=Rellow;37689315]meh[/QUOTE] Elbows too pointy?

Worst-tier pictures in the history of pictures.

tits everywhere

Understandable, I'd be buttmad aswell if my partner's titties were exposed in a tabloid for everyone to see without her consent.

[QUOTE=digigamer17;37689327]It's just breasts... Who cares?

[editline]16th September 2012[/editline] In fact if this wasnt someone famous, the photographer would probably be jailed for stalking and invasion of privacy. But because its the royal family its "pff, tits r serious business, y they mad". This goes for taking pictures of any celebrities actually, I HATE the whole celeb/paparazzi thing, fucking leave them alone.

He's paid to get pictures that'll bring in ratings, so that's what he does. If anything, he should be fired for using a shitty camera. [editline]oh hamburgers[/editline] And the duchess should ease up about this. I can obviously understand not wanting someone to take photos of you against your will. But once they're out (the pictures,) there's not much you can do about it that won't just bring more attention to it.

[QUOTE=digigamer17;37689327]It's just breasts... Who cares? The photographer should be sacked though if he's a bit pervy.[/QUOTE] I legitimately feel sorry that she is having to go through with this. Set aside all shitty idealistic images of how the world should view breasts and look at it from the real world perspective for once.

Eh what's with all the high standards for kate middleton [img]http://images.askmen.com/celebs/women/models_300/372_kate_middleton-915259-large_image-915259-large_image.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.biography.com/imported/images/Biography/Images/Profiles/M/Kate-Middleton-542648-1-402.jpg[/img] dude, she's hot. At least its not Pippa because she looks ugly as fuck and is only famous for her ass

i find it weird that she's so ridiculously revered for being hot. it's clearly only because of who/what she is. if i saw her in the street and she was a nobody she wouldn't be especially head-turning at all

The photographer is just as much a piece of shit as the paper that published it.

ITT: nerds with high standards

Now that I've seen them, I don't really find her all that great anymore :/

If you don't want someone to take a picture of your tits, don't go outside with them hanging out. Not that difficult to understand.

[quote]Chi, the Italian magazine, said it would print a special 26-page edition featuring the photographs on Monday.[/quote] How the fuck can you fill TWENTY SIX pages about the same pair of tits? You can sum the story up with just "royal couple go on holiday and sunbathe in the privacy of their own hotel, some croissant got hold of a long lens camera. Nation greatly disappointed to find that she looks better with her clothes on. Give it a month and we'll have all forgotten." Why do people even give a shit about celebrity (celeb-titty heheheh) gossip, it's just mindless bollocks

I'm fairly certain that taking photos of people changing through their window is illegal. Why are the press allowed to get away with it?

Disappointed.
