A few weeks ago, the media went into a frenzy over photos published by a French tabloid called Closer. The photos depicted the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton sunbathing topless on the balcony of a 19th century hunting lodge, where she was staying while vacationing in France with her husband, Prince William. The photos were soon circulated, and now there are rumors that a Danish gossip magazine may plan on publishing bottomless photos of her as well. Of the topless photos already published, editor-in-chief of said magazine Kim Henningsen states, "It's a set of unique photos from an A-class celebrity," he told the Belfast Telegraph. "We are a leading gossip magazine in Denmark, and it is my job to publish them."

Now, when you are fabulously gorgeous, married to a prince, and on-path to be Queen of England, chances are: changing your bikini anywhere outside will eventually be found out by someone. 

On the other hand, what an awful feeling to never feel free from the prying eyes of the media! I’m just praying that the past will not repeat itself and the tabloids will just let her be. She deserves a chance to make her own history.

Do you think the media overstepped its boundaries by taking and publishing these photos of the Duchess? Or were they simply “doing their job”? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
