The
mystery of the topless Kate photos is moving
one step closer to resolution.
French police now know
the identity of the photographer who took the snaps that shook the royal world
in September and are, according to reports, on the verge of arresting him/her.
"The photographer
is expected to be held for questioning imminently," a source told the
Mirror in London.
The pictures were
taken from hundreds of metres away on a road outside the Chateau D'Autet, where
Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge were sunbathing while on vacation.
As many as 200 photos
were taken. Closer magazine in Paris was the first to publish pictures,
followed by publications in Italy, Ireland, Sweden and Denmark.
Under strict French
privacy laws, the photographer could be fined up to $57,000 and be jailed for a
year.
Will and Kate are
taking an aggressive stand on this "grotesque" breach of their
privacy, determined to draw the line in the sand for paparazzi and bring this
one particular photographer to justice. They already succeeded in preventing
Closer from publishing any more pictures and the ones in the magazine's
possession were turned over to the Palace.
The royals were
especially furious because the publication came just at the height of their
tour of Asia and the South Pacific.
