French court bans topless Kate Middleton pictures

A French court has today ordered the country’s Closer magazine to hand over all copies of topless photos of the Kate Middleton blocked further publication of the images.

Under the ruling, the gossip magazine cannot publish the images of an intimate moment in the south of France any further, including on its website and tablet application.

The magazine published 14 photos of a partially clad Kate in its pages on Friday.

The pictures have also been published in Ireland and Italy but today’s ruling only affects the French publisher.
