Duke and Duchess Of Cambridge, Prince William And Kate Middleton Sues Closer Magazine Over 'Unjustifiable' Publication Of Topless Pictures

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are considering taking legal action over topless pictures of the Duchess which their spokesman described as “a grotesque and totally unjustifiable” invasion of privacy.

The Royal couple are furious that the French magazine Closer has published the photographs, taken during their holiday in Provence last month, saying it was “unthinkable” that anyone should print them.

A statement from St James’s Palace, produced in consultation with the couple, likened the long-lens pictures to “the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales”.

Aides said the “level of intrusiveness” meant “a red line has been crossed”, suggesting the couple are giving serious thought to suing the magazine and the photographer for breach of privacy.

Traditionally, the Royal family never take legal action against the media, but the pictures are perhaps the most intrusive ever published of a senior member of the Royal family and the Duke and Duchess may now decide enough is enough.

The couple were enjoying a short break at the Chateau D’Autet, owned by Lord Linley, the Queen’s nephew, in Luberon, when the pictures were taken.

The Duchess is seen looking relaxed and happy in the pictures as she wears nothing but a pair of bikini bottoms, while William is in a pair of shorts.

In defence, Closer claimed the swimming pool was in full view of a public road, and sources in the area have said that even local French newspaper photographers who have nothing to do with the international paparazzi were able to stand on the road and take pictures.

A source at the magazine said: “If two public figures chose to strip off in full view of a public road then they can expect to be pictured, and they were.”

The magazine’s front cover says: “World Exclusive; Kate and William in Provence”, adding: “The Duchess of Cambridge topless on the terrace of a guest house in Luberon!..Discover the incredible pictures of the future Queen of England as you've never seen her before ... and as you will never see her again!”

Arrested: 58 Year Old Woman Strangles Friend To Death For Snatching Her Lover 16 Years Ago

A 58-year old woman, Josephine Jacob, has been arrested and charged to a Lagos court for allegedly strangling her friend, Mrs. Margret Ndidi, 59, in their home at Shasha, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria.

This happened 16 years after Josephine’s bitter experience of losing a lover to Margret whom he married.

Josephine reportedly went inside Margret’s one room apartment at 19, Omo Olore Street, Mosalashi Bus Stop, Shasha, when she was sleeping and strangled her.

She was arrested and arraigned before Yaba Magistrate’s Court where she is facing murder charge.

P.M.NEWS gathered from the residents that Josephine bore grudge against her over what happened 16 years ago between them.

It was learnt that the marriage of both Josephine and the late Margret later broke down and they both became divorcees.

“ She has been blaming Margret for her condition because she snatched her lover 16 years ago,” a source said.

Though they later reconciled and became friends again and started living together at their two-room rented apartment they shared, unknown to Margret, her friend was still nursing the pain and had not forgiven her.

So, in August this year, Josephine allegedly went inside Margret’s room where she was sleeping, choked her neck and strangled her.

When the woman died, Josephine started shouting for neighbours to come and help her, saying that Margret had died on her bed.

After Margret was rushed to a hospital, a doctor certified her dead. But the hospital management discovered that her neck had bruises and wound. It was suspected that she was strangled.

The matter was reported at Shasha Police station and Josephine was arrested and detained.

The police preliminary investigation also revealed that she was strangled. The matter was transferred to SCID, Panti, Yaba and Josephine’s two daughters were also arrested.

She was charged to court for murder under Section 221 of the Criminal Code Law of Lagos State of Nigeria 2011.

Her plea was not taken.

The presiding Magistrate, Mrs. J. Ugbormaiko ordered that her file should be duplicated and sent to DPP for advice.

No date was fixed for hearing.
