French authorities have
charged a photographer and a publishing executive for printing the now-infamous
Kate Middleton
topless photos last summer.
Ernesto Maurim, who runs
the French magazine Closer, was charged with invasion of privacy for
printing topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge.
Photographer Valerie Suau,
who took pictures of Middleton, 31, for regional newspaper La Provence,
was also charged,
according to the Mirror (UK).
The incident occurred
while Kate and Prince William were on vacation at a Provence chateau. Suau has
denied taking the semi-nude photos of Kate.
A still unidentified
paparazzo is credited with those controversial images of the Duchess, which
were later published in Italy, Ireland, Sweden and Denmark.
Whomever too them, the
magazine took plenty of heat for the spread.
Kate and Prince William
sued Closer in September, and a court subsequently barred publication of
more photos, though they spread like wildfire online.
