Kate Middleton, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, married Prince William in 2011 at Westminster Abbey. She will not be a princess until Prince Charles inherits the throne.
Middleton made headlines in September 2012, when photos of her sunbathing topless in southern France were published by a French magazine, Closer. Soon after, the photos were reproduced in publications in Ireland and Italy. As soon as news broke about the
photos in Closer, the British royal family became involved in a legal battle to attain the rights to the photos, in hopes of preventing other publications from printing them. According to the Los Angeles Times, the photos weren't picked up by any news organizations in Britain.
Four days after Closer published the photos, on September 18, 2012, the royal family won their copyrights in court: A judge ordered the
French magazine to hand over the photos within 24 hours of the court's decision, according to the L.A. Times.
Closer could face daily fines of $13,000, as well as fines for any reprints of the photos, if it fails to meet the 24-hour timeline, the Times continued.
