Charges over topless Kate pics
The editor of French magazine Closer and a photographer have been charged with breaking the country's privacy rules after the magazine published pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing topless last year.
Charges are latest in royal French privacy case
The latest charges over topless Duchess of Cambridge photographs come months after publishing house Mondadori France's legal representative Ernesto Mauri, another photographer and a senior editor of the newspaper La Provence were charged with invasion of privacy.
Mondadori France publishes Closer magazine, while La Provence splashed photos of the Duchess in a bathing costume on its front page a week before Closer, on September 7, last year.
Following the publication of the photographs, a French judge ruled the topless pictures could neither be published again or sold on, clearing the way for a criminal investigation to identify the photographer.
