Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have filed a lawsuit against the French magazine, Closer, for printing photos of Kate, sunbathing topless.
A statement from the palace said the pair were “hugely saddened” by the publication, adding that William and Kate “had every expectation of privacy in the remote house” where they were sunbathing at the time the pictures were taken. Remote?
With the public road in plain sight, below? And miles and miles of open space in front of her. Check out the view from the pool!

How can the British Royals be so careless? You never here such goings on with the Royals from Spain, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, or Sweden. All those monarchs appreciate their good luck and know how to behave themselves.
The British Royals, who cost more to their country than all the other European monarchies combined, have absolutely no appreciation of their fortunate circumstances and duties. Are they stupid, or arrogant? Aside from Princess Kate’s possibly exhibitionist ways (much like those of her sister, Pippa), we have Prince Harry in the buff in Las Vegas.
The photos of Kate were taken while she and William were vacationing at the Chateau d’Autet last summer. The chateau is owned by David Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley, the wealthy nephew of Queen Elizabeth II.
The website for Chateau d’Autet has been closed down just to prevent anyone from seeing where and how the photos of Kate were taken. However, Getting at the Truth, always digs deeper into the facts, and we were able to piece the puzzle together from other sources.
The photo below shows clearly where Kate was standing (with the metal railing in front of her) and from what point on the public road below a photograph could have been taken. However, it appears that the photograph was taken from about 450 feet due south at the edge of a forested area. (To get a good idea of the area, plug the coordinates 43.931111, 5.550556 into Google Earth.)
Checking the photograph of where Kate was standing it shows clearly that anyone could have taken the photos either from the fields or from the public highway nearby.
Below is a photo from the public highway showing a clear view of where Kate and William were standing close to the fence, rather than on the other side of the pool where they could have easily had more privacy.
The viewpoint from the highway, labeled D22, is at Latitude:43°55’36.79″N Longitude 5°33’10.16″E. It is also 1587.07 feet from the Chateau d’Autet, which is at a heading of 339.95 degrees. The photos could have been taken from this point, or an easy walk through the open field could have brought the photographer to the edge of a protected forest 450 feet from the Chateau d’Autet. All of this can be found and verified on Google Earth.
Couldn’t Kate see what was going on?
One might even wonder—was Kate posing?
Prince William is quite OK with topless ladies. Below is a photo of the prince swimming by a topless Pippa Middleton. Princess Kate was along on the same boat.
Going topless in front of others is appears to be no problem for Kate and Pippa.
