Oh! My God! How silly to sell indecorous images with one hand, and play safe with the other

Oh! My God! French Magazine Closer has provided weak response to royal criticism and outrage after having published several photos of Prince William's wife, Catherine, in 'Eden'-like context with her husband. The setting was somewhere quiet - and supposed to be private - in France.

William and Kate are granted injunction and the magazine is ordered to hand over all the photos to the couple within 24 hours. More

The royal-nerving-provokative photos are shown on the cover and in four inner pages. Inside, part of the text signed by Samuel C-something says:

'...simplement d'une épouse... bien dans son corps qui n'a strictement rien à chacher a son mari. Des moments de gráce, de complicité. D'amour dans ce qu'il a de plus pur. Les images d'um bonheur sans muages. Le temps semble arrêté, suspendu, voluptueur, comme un nouvel Eden...'

The writer attempted a weird way to frame a comparison between the context in which Prince Harry has been snapped recentlyin Las Vegas with that enjoyed by William and Kate in France.

The magazine sells each copy of its edition for 1.5 euros.   Folha de S.Paulo (main Brazilian newspaper) has reproduzed most of the photos on its site. Its today print edition (15.09) reproduces the cover and indicates the URL  http://f5.folha.uol.com.br/celebridades/1153601-veja-as-paginas-da-revista-que-mostram-kate-middleton-de-topless.shtmlthat that hosts additional photos, while pointing out that the French laws protecting privacy are the strictest in Europe.   The title of the digital page just mentioned reads: "Veja as páginas da revista que mostram Kate Middleton de topless" (See the pages of the magazine that show Kate Middleton in topless). It is our keen impression that, by sticking to the single name of the Duchess of Cambridge, that newspaper has reckoned it sounds less offensive to the British monarch. Silliness.
