Yes, that’s right, it says Kate Middleton topless pictures, not Pippa, or their cousin, but Princess Kate. First Pippa and the gun, then Prince Harry and Vegas, and now Kate? This is the best Royal Family ever.

French tabloid magazine Closer has published pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing topless. William and Kate reportedly learned about the pictures over breakfast during a visit to Kuala Lumpur and are not thrilled.

“Their sadness has turned to anger and disbelief as we learn more about the photographs,” Miguel Head, the royal couple’s press secretary, tells Us in a statement. “We believe a real line has been crossed and we are consulting with French lawyers about what, if any, legal action will be taken.”

“The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so,” he added. “Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them.”

I think the expectation of privacy sailed out the window a long time ago in today’s media crazy world. Now obviously we can’t show you these highly controversial photos, but we can point you in the right direction. As in, right here. You might want to hurry.
