Can’t a girl sunbathe in peace?! Holy hell, wtf. Leave her and her breasts alone world.

I hope they do take action. Kate and William were doing nothing wrong. They also had legitimate expectations of privacy as you stated. 

What next? Peeping Tom pictures through a window at the Ob/Gyn? I mean, really. 

I don’t think this should affect her image.  C’mon, she was sunbathing on a holiday.  Geez!  It is not like she is showing up in a tiny mini dress to an important event, getting out of the car and showing all her goodies due to lack of undergarments.  I hope the royal family does say something.

Closer is a magazine full of Crap. The kind of who love publishing creepy pictures or stories… and they don’t understand what “privacy” is (as well as people buying this !).

Middleton or not, it is not fair to publish such “robbed” pictures of people.

It sucks, but she should also realize that she’s now a public figure who is frequently photographed by the paparazzi. She should take proper precautions if she doesn’t want to be exposed. Sad, but true.

@Daniella Clara@facebook - Exactly. It’s one thing when you’re in a public area or even on private property with a view from a public area, but a “remote” house? That’s just stalker-y.

i don’t think it takes away from who she is. anyone who knows the story will not have a problem with it. shes still classy and the pap need to report on things that are actually important instead of aimlessly stalking people.

@xxfl1@xanga - I think almost by definition, paparazzi don’t report on important things and mostly just aimlessly stalk people.

This shouldn’t reflect badly on her, because she was in a PRIVATE setting and those photos should be illegal, IMO. I feel bad for her, she doesn’t deserve to have people peaking their cameras in her private residence. I’d fucking lose it if I was William, though. Paparazzi stalkers contributed to his mother’s death, and now they are publishing naked pictures of his wife, taken is a completely invasive manner.

wow i never want to be famous

Who cares?

@SexyTall@xanga - Quite a few people, apparently.

Tbh, I am not ok with Harry’s pics either. I feel like nowadays it is something that affects us all. I think humiliating (and naked) pics that were taken or published without permission should simply be illegal.  Nowadays nearly everything is possible. Theoratically, you can make a robot camera fly over private houes if you want to see what people do in their gardens. Or simply take a toy-plane and glue a small camera to it. Any idiot can do that. So one can say you ALWAYS have to expect something and it is always ‘your fault’. It shouldn’t be so though.
The chick who made Harry’s pics public (I think it was someone he slept with if I recall it correctly) is like these people tweeting pics of their one night stands, and others saying “oh well the consequences you have to expect”. I think it’s awful.

@PocketfulOfDreams@xanga - You know what, actually, you definitely have changed my mind on that one. I somehow, someway forgot that the photos weren’t taken with his permission. And you’re right: that should be illegal (you can definitely sue somebody for it, though).

I remember one time a friend of mine took a photo of a bunch of us during strip poker. I know he’d never do anything with it, but I still flipped my bucket on him (I was admittedly really drunk) because I found it so offensive.

This wouldn’t matter as much if the world would collectively grow up and realize that women have breasts and that it’s not a huge deal if people see them.  I could not care less if Kate Middleton chooses to go topless, and I think our media’s obsession with reporting on and photographing boobies is incredibly juvenile.

no big deal…

         I don’t think it’ll ruin kate’s image at all.. people shouldn’t judge her based on that, and I do think that they should take legal action. Yeah it’s really sad considering all the pressure that they are under and they have to look “perfect” at all times, I think that is total BS, they are human beings and I hate paparazzi’s for this reason, they’re really annoying and just to desperately find a story.

@SUPletstake___surveys@xanga - I agree with you.

Even though it was a “private” house and they “expected privacy,” she should always be cautious since they are a public figure and you know, those paparazzi will do anything to get a good photo for the press.
Other than that, yes, I think they should take legal actions!

seriously, that’s creepy and exposing her like that is so disrespectful!!!!!

I feel sorry for her really   How pathetic of this tabloid–and I wouldn’t bat an eye if the royal family decided to sue.  That is absolutely wrong.  They are HUSBAND AND WIFE….seriously…do they think they have not had sex either?  I mean come on–can’t one share some intimacy in PRIVATE without someone taking pictures of them!

I think they should take legal action and I don’t think it will affect her image at all. It was taken while she was at a private residence. Everyone gets naked from time to time. You should be able to do that in privacy. This really irritates me. 

I think John Green put it best:

“Just as a general rule, I feel like we should not look at pictures of the breasts or genitalia of people who would rather we not look at pictures of their breasts or genitalia.

As a corollary to that general rule, I would add that I don’t see anything wrong with looking at pictures of breasts or genitalia of people who have invited us to do so. There seem to be plenty such pictures for us to get a reasonably good grasp of, like, the diversity of unclothed human anatomy without having to look at people who wish we wouldn’t.

This seems pretty straightforward to me. Yes, the photographer(s) who photographed Kate Middleton’s grainy distant breasts were violating her privacy. But so do people who choose to look at those pictures.

So maybe we can just agree not to? And this goes not only for princesses, I would argue, but also for people who send things to their romantic partners, who turn out to be jerks and release those photos publicly. Or people whose phones are hacked. etc.

In this world where most every curiosity can be satiated, it seems to me genuinely heroic to resist the urge to look at everything that can be seen, and instead to respect the wishes of those who feel violated or hurt by the availability of images they wish were private.”
