5 years ago, the British royal family was waiting for a real shock. In the press there were pictures from the rest of Kate Middleton and Prince William, on which the duchess was engraved topless, as well as at the time of changing the swimming trunks. These photos flew around the world and made a lot of noise. However, simply in outrageous speeches, the Duke and the Duchess decided not to stop and submitted to all those involved in the court. Yesterday it became known that a regular court session took place, at which the lawyer of the royal family announced the amount of moral damage from the published photographs. It amounted to 1.5 million euros.
Jean Vail spoke to the press
Yesterday at 10 am in France, a trial was held regarding the "nude" photos of Kate Middleton. The interests of royal monks were represented by lawyer Jean Vail, who after the meeting decided to talk with the press. Here is what the lawyer said:
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have long thought about what compensation should be requested from publications that published pictures from their private rest without their consent. The couple decided that moral compensation would be 1.3 million pounds sterling. This amount should be paid by the French magazine Closer, which published pictures of Middleton, who was changing her swimsuit and sunbathing topless. In addition, the punishment must be suffered and the publication of La Provence, which posted on its pages pictures of British monarchs with rest, true, dressed. We believe that the publication of such photographs is a violation of the law "On the Invasion of Privacy".
In addition to the publications themselves, which will pay monetary compensation, individuals will also appear before the court. So, according to the data that came from the city court of Nanterre, it became known that the chief editor of Closer, Lawrence Pio, will be in the dock. In addition, Ernesto Mauri, head of the Mondadori media group, which owns the magazine, and photographers who made "nude" photos of Middleton - Cyril Moreau and Dominique Jacovides - will also be responsible.

The photos were taken from afar
In 2012, Kate and William went to rest in France. Monarchs settled in a secluded villa and enjoyed the rest. Then they could not imagine that their private life could be seen by someone. Photographers Moro and Jacovides were able to capture on their camera Middleton topless, when she was taking sunbathing on the terrace of the villa. In addition, the paparazzi were able to fix the gentle embrace of the couple, as well as the duchess's covering of the sun with a cream. In addition, there were still pictures on which Middleton was completely naked. At that moment Kate just changed her swimsuit, covered with a towel. Filming was conducted from the highway, which was located near the villa. A total of 200 photos were sold to the press.
After the pictures were taken to the media, a court was held, which prohibited the publication and distribution of these shots, but it was too late. Many European publications have posted scandalous photos on their pages.
