Kate Middleton and Prince Williams' lawyers, who last week filed a lawsuit for "breach of privacy" against Closer magazine — the French publication that printed pararazzi photos of the topless Duchess — are scheduled to head to court again on Monday.
St. James Palace announced on Sunday that it would seek an injunction in France against Mondadori, the Italian media company that publishes France’s Closer and Italy’s Chi, to stop the further publication of the photos.
On Saturday, Italy’s Chi stated it intended to publish a 26-page spread on Monday , featuring dozens of the now-infamous long lens photos of Middleton in and out of a bikini.
The Chi cover features three pictures of the Duchess topless, along the headline, "The Queen is Nude!"
Chi editor Alfonso Signorini told the Associated Press, "I don’t see anything morbid or damaging in them. Chi pays attention to respecting people’s dignity. I don’t think they hurt Kate’s image."
Clearly, Middleton and Prince William feel differently, because they will also seek damages in Monday’s court filing against Mondadori, which is owned by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Gossip Cop also hears they may also seek criminal charges against the unidentified photographer or paparazzi involved.
What do you think about the continuing controversy?
