After the debacle with the nude pictures leaked out by an Italian gossip magazine, the royal couple are sharing personal pictures of their own on a blog titled "A day in the life of Flight Lieutenant Wales," which is linked on the Royal website: DukeandDutchessofCambridge.org.
The pictures can be seen here.
The pictures are snapshots in the daily lives of the Kate Middleton and Prince Williams, ranging from the Prince sipping on a cup of coffee and making his bed to pictures of the princess on a trip to a Research Station at Danum Valley, Borneo, Malaysia.
In September, an Italian gossip magazine "Chi" published topless pictures Middleton, then the scandal took another turn after a Danish gossip magazine "Se oh Hor" published not just topless, but entirely nude, pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge.
The Royal family sued the French magazine "Closer" for publishing topless pictures of Middleton sunbathing in a private residence. As per the court injunction, all issues of the magazine in print and online containing the pictures were blocked. In addition the injunction stipulated that the magazine must relinquish all copies within 24 hours to the court. The "Closer" was also denied to sell or republish any of the pictures.
But the court ruling did not apply to any other magazine that published the pictures, including the Italian magazine "Chi." The pictures published by Scandinavian magazine were taken at the same time the topless pictures were taken.
Kim Henningsen, editor of "Se og Hor" told the Belfast Telegraph, "We are a leading gossip magazine in Denmark, and it is my job to publish them," as reported on E Online!
The Royal family declined to say whether it planed to file suit against this magazine.
It is still unclear whether the royal couple will file a similar suit against the Italian gossip magazine "Chi" The Italian magazine is owned by the same company which owns the French "Closer," Mondadori group, which is in turn owned by former Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi. The pictures appeared in the Monday's issue of "Chi"
The Royal family's lawsuit against the French magazine has a successful out come. The French court called the pictures a "brutal display of private moments," as reported by the Associated Press.
The French tabloid magazine took pictures of the couple sunbathing while vacationing at the private residence of the Queen's nephew Viscount Linley, Château d'Autet. The royal family is sued the magazine for invasion of privacy.
