Closer Editor Laurence Pieau has been charged for publishing the photographs in September last year, according to AFP.

The agency also reported that an unnamed photographer was charged last month, while another is under formal investigation and will be charged “very shortly” for breaking France’s strict privacy rules.

The photographs were taken while the Duchess was on a private holiday with the Duke in Provence in the south of France.
