Kate Middleton is said to be 'saddened' after
being told a French magazine plans to publish photos of her sunbathing topless
on a recent holiday in France.
It's not yet known how weekly title Closer
obtained the photos of Kate Middleton topless, only that it is due to publish
them today.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were
relaxing by the pool during a stay at the idyllic Chateau d'Autet a historic
hunting lodge owned by the Queen's nephew, Viscount Linley, in preparation for
their Jubilee tour, when the pictures were taken.
Set in 640 acres of woodland, the chic
Provence hideaway, which comes complete with an outdoor swimming pool and
tennis court, is said to boast exception views of the French countryside and
was thought to offer complete privacy.
But it seems eagle-eyed snappers managed to
catch a handful of long-lens shots of William and Kate as they relaxed by the
private pool - including pictures of Kate Middleton topless.
It's thought the royal couple were made aware
of the photos during breakfast, as they prepared for a packed list of
engagements on day four of their Far East tour.
They were said to be saddened by the private
photo leak.
One royal insider told the Telegraph: 'This
is disappointing, saddening and turns the clock back 15 years. We have always
maintained the position that the Duke and Duchess deserve their privacy, not
least when they are on holiday in their own swimming pool.'
The source continued: 'The Duke and Duchess
were told about the pictures at breakfast and they have seen the pictures on
the website.
'At the moment we haven’t been in a position
to verify whether they are genuine, and we are not going to take any action or
consider taking any action until we have been able to consider the photos
properly, then we will consider our options.
'One option is to let public opinion take its
course, another option is to talk to our lawyers in the UK and France, to talk
to Closer and the photographer.'
This is not the first time private pictures
of Prince William and Kate Middleton have surfaced.
Earlier this year the royal couple were said
to be 'furious' after an Australian published private pictures of their
honeymoon.
Monthly title Woman's Day made the
controversial decision to publish the 'world exclusive' photos of the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, taken on the beach during their private honeymoon in the
Seychelles last May.

publish private pictures of Kate Middleton topless? Let us know in the comments
