A magazine publisher and a photographer has been slapped with charges for invasion of privacy by French authorities, after unclad photos of Kate Middleton were published, the Telegraph reports.
Ernesto Mauri, a chief executive of the publishing house Mondadori, and a photographer for the regional paper La Provence, Valerie Suau, have been charged for taking photos of Kate in a swimsuit.
Last September, the unclad flicks of the Duchess of Cambridge surfaced on the ‘net and were splashed inside the pages of Closer Magazine. They were also published in the French tabloid Irish Daily Star.
While the incriminating pictures were not published in La Provence, investigators are trying to determine if Suau offered them to French magazine, Closer.
A source says Suau is “not concerned” with the charges and admits to taking pictures of Middleton in a bathing suit, but not unclad.
The publication of the photos, taken while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were on vacation at their French villa, prompted a full investigation by St. James Palace that is still ongoing.
