Closer Magazine feature topless pictures of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

 'Closer' ,a French Magazine(owned by Italian former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's Mondadori group) invited readers, via its website, to pick up the new edition and enjoy "the photos that the world can't wait to see  the Duchess of Cambridge topless on a guesthouse terrace". The pictures were apparently taken while the British royals were on holiday in France last week.

Under the headline "Oh my God!", the photos show the couple,soaking up the sun on the balcony of a 19th century hunting lodge.Splashed on the front cover and inside on five pages, many of the grainy photos feature what appears to be Catherine wearing just the bottoms of a black and white bikini.

Kate and William are said to be furious about the publication of the pictures

Closer's editor-in-chief Laurence Pieau described the photos as a "beautiful series" that showed a couple in love and were in no way degrading.
