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.
