To think Kate Middleton should have kept her tits in

[moogster1a]

Surely she can't be unaware that she's one of the most photographed women in the world and there are paparazzi everywhere.
I know in an ideal lovely world she should be able to skinny dip in privacy, but in the real world I think she is being a bit naiive to go topless and then be so upset when the pictures are published

I thought that if you are married, any child born within the marriage is assumed to be the fathers?

I mean really, I´m no great Diana fan-but would she have been so fucking stupid??

I feel so so sorry for her

she must feel fucking humiliated

Shock horror. The royals have have human bodies under their clothes - that's put paid to David Icke's theory.

Why are her tits such a big deal? Isn't this the same young woman who paraded herself on a catwalk before her prince-to-be wearing a see-through number that left little to the imagination?

What is the real story here? Making Richard Desmond appear worthy of a knighthood for services to porn rendered in closing down a newspaper located too close for comfort to these Sceptred Isles whose editorial board took the decision to publish photos that the rest of the world are able to view?

Funny how there was no mention of arresting the paparazzi who caught Fergie in the far more unflattering position of having her toes sucked, or suing the numerous British newspapers that published the resulting photos.

If she loses this court case, then the precedent is set - we can all look forward to pictures and videos being taken of us in our private spaces without our knowledge and consent, and being made available to the public and we will have NO legal recourse

But easily seen by a pap. So not private

*STOP comparing this to ordinary people in their gardens

1. nobody would give a flying fuck about any of you sunbathing topless in your gardens
2. pictures of you wouldn't be worth a fortune
3. you're not paid for by the public purse 4)you won't be queen one day*

None of these is an accurate reflection of the actual, current law on misuse of private information though. If the D of C loses her case (in France) it is not going to change the legal position in Britain, where what happened to her would be a civil wrong for which she could get an injunction, and damages.

The fact that someone (especially someone using a very powerful telephoto lens can see does not mean that where you are is not private. The law is a bit more nuanced than that, I think.

Across all the countries that have signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights, people effectively have a right to a private life (i.e. a privacy right). Even famous people and royals. There is no standard public figure get out for the media like there is in the US. So her situation being papped in a private garden is broadly comparable to the situation if any of us got papped, i.e. wrong.

Look you either want a monarchy or you don't. I couldn't care less really, but if you want something to write articles about constantly, then I think you have to take them as they come - a packaged entity that is told what to do at every turn.

They don't have the freedom to say 'Oh we will have seven holidays this year and this is when we will do it'

it's a case of being scheduled well in advance by someone in charge - I think so anyway, and if this is the sort of shit they have to put up with then I wouldn't call them indolent. I'd call them victims.

And that's from someone who sees no point whatever in having them at all...

however I think the papers would really struggle to sell, without them. You cannae have it both ways.

and that was pointed at any journalists on here. I have no idea who you are.

I would never go topless, I have large norks which will do damage if not held to attention for a whole 30 minutes.

I hope Kate does win this case, nobody should be exposed like that.

The media would not get away printing naked pictures of glamour models as the accent would sue for loss of earning.

"Balls to that. She should be able to dress up as a chicken and spank Will's arse with a spatula if she wished, in private, on holiday without some pap bloody intruding"

Agreed. And, amused.

tis a shame how photos and stories like this don hit the headlines

has someone already posted this?

I think it puts into perspective, the notion that Kate should give up having tits in case some perv decides to photograph them

oh and this is good

this too

I can't believe people doubt Harry's paternity - he is a lot like Charles - the same close together eyes and wide mouth.

But what irritates me about some of the blogosphere discussion is that it doesn't appear to acknowledge the fact that, in most European countries including England, misuse of private information such as this is already against the civil (and sometimes criminal) law. It's recognised as wrong in law, if not by all members of the public.

In England the high legal costs and availability of punitive damages means that, unlike France, civil action is a real deterrent. That's the real reason no British publication is going to publish these pictures (as well as the canny recognition the public probably wouldn't wear it), not any real conversion by the press to the principle of privacy rights.

She was on private land having a private holiday - it is disgusting end of.

She must feel like some peeping tom has been taking pictures and gaining money & kicks from it - oh no wait, they have.

What's sad amongst the faux outrage (OMG SHE SHOULD HAVE HER PRIVACY!!!) with this scandal is that most people don't know that the couple were supposed to be working, representing Team GB as ambassadors to the Paralympics. Yet W-O-R-K-I-N-G seems to be an alien concept to this couple who just couldn't wait to take yet another holiday.

That's karma for you.

You're a great person to have around a month after an event.
