A celebrity magazine in Denmark has said it will publish the controversial topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge less than 24 hours after her lawyers won an injunction preventing a French publisher using or selling the pictures.
The editor of Se og Hor (See and Hear), said on the magazine’s website that it was “incredibly proud that we have rights to the pictures of Britain’s future queen”, which will feature in a 16-page supplement due to be published today.
“Our readers love to keep up with the famous and royal life and demand revealing news,” said editor Kim Henningsen. “It is in Se og Hor’s DNA to entertain and satisfy our readers’ curiosity. Therefore, it is always relevant for us when a duchess and the future queen of England is topless.”
St James’s Palace has been made aware of the magazine and says it is taking legal advice.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge won the first round of their legal battle against Closer magazine in France, which published five pages of the couple sunbathing at a private chateau in Provence.
Magistrates ruled that every photograph published in France by Closer publisher Mondadori, the media company owned by former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, in future would carry a fine of €10,000. However the ruling refers only to the 14 pictures that have already been published. – (Guardian service)
