  • Kate Middleton Hires ‘Butt Bodyguard’ After Scandal

    Kate Middleton — upset by the release of an embarrassing photo of her bare butt — is making sure that type of exposure never happens again.

    The Duchess of Cambridge has reportedly hired a female “minder” to protect her from any more embarrassing photos in the future.

    German tabloid Bild published a photograph recently of the 32-year-old princess as her dress blew upwards to expose her bare butt while exiting a helicopter with Prince William in April during the royal tour to Australia.

    British papers refused to print the invasive photo, so it was sold to the “highest bidder,” which turned out to be Bild. The woman who took the photo says she will donate the money she earned from the sale to charity.

    The German tabloid published the photo with the caption: “Photos show our favourite Duchess Kate, 32, in the Australian Blue Mountains. The rotor blades of the royal helicopter swirl the air so that Kate’s summer dress blew up – giving a clear view of her beautiful bum!”

    Although Middleton is aware she lives in the public eye, she believes the tabloid went too far.

    “Kate realizes she has a very public life,” a source told Showbiz Spy. “But she does believe she’s entitled to a certain amount of privacy. She doesn’t expect to see her naked ass splashed across a German tabloid. She’s furious. She and Prince William are once again considering their legal options.”

    “Kate will now be watched all the time. We can’t afford any more embarrassing photos like this,” a source told the Daily Star.

    “The poor girl was snapped topless in France while on holiday and now someone has got a photo of her bottom. She needs more protection to spare her blushes,” said the source.

    In another Middleton photo controversy, the Duke and Duchess took legal action against French magazine Closer after the publication printed pictures of the topless princess while on vacation in September 2012.

    “The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so. Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them,” Clarence House said at the time.

  • Kate Middleton Photo Scandal: Pics Are “Not Shocking”

    Kate Middleton is the object of fascination for millions, a princess who wed into one of the world’s most famous families with nary a hint of scandal, much to the dismay of the media. So when some photos of her sunbathing topless popped up online, they immediately went viral and caused a huge backlash against the company taking responsibility for them.

    Middleton was allegedly snapped while vacationing at a private residence in France–where topless sunbathing is not only acceptable, it’s deemed the norm–and although the photographers got their shots unknowingly, without her consent, the editor of the magazine which ran them is defending their moves, saying they aren’t shocking in the least.

    “These photos are not in the least shocking,” Closer editor Laurence Pieau said. “They show a young woman sunbathing topless, like the millions of women you see on beaches.”

    The problem with that argument is that Kate wasn’t on a public beach, she was in the privacy of the home she was staying in, and the royal family is taking issue with the statements. They are now considering taking legal action against the magazine.
