THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: An Italian magazine is set to follow a French publication in printing photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing topless in a special issue next week.
Gossip magazine Chi is understood to be planning a 26-page photo special of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on holiday in the south of France.
Despite St James's Palace describing the publication of the photos of Kate in French magazine Closer yesterday as a "grotesque and totally unjustifiable" invasion of privacy, and the announcement that the royal couple will sue its publishers, unconfirmed reports said Chi still planned to print the images[,].
Closer and Chi are both part of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's Mondadori media group.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge last night took the unprecedented step of starting legal proceedings over topless pictures which they regard as a “grotesque” invasion of privacy.
The royal couple reacted with “anger and disbelief” after the French magazine Closer printed a series of photographs of the Duchess sunbathing in Provence last week. » | Gordon Rayner, Chief Reporter, Kuala Lumpur | Friday, September 14, 2012
