PARIS — Two
people were charged this month over the publication in September of stolen
photos of Prince William's wife Catherine that caused a huge furore, sources
said Wednesday.
According
to sources close to the case, the head of the Mondadori Group -- the publisher
of glossy magazine Closer where some of the shots were printed -- and a
photographer at regional daily La Provence, were both charged.
Judges in
the Paris suburb of Nanterre charged the photographer with "invasion of
privacy" for taking photos of the former Kate Middleton in a swimsuit
while she was on holiday in the south of France with her husband.
Those shots
were published in La Provence. But the most intimate shots showing the Duchess
of Cambridge topless and having suncream rubbed into her behind by William were
published in Closer.
Judges are
still investigating who took those photos.
Ernesto
Mauri, the chief executive of Mondadori, was meanwhile also charged with
"invasion of privacy" for having let the topless shots be published.
The
publication of the shots in September caused a huge furore, and French
authorities promptly banned Closer from any further publication or resale of
the topless pictures, while launching a criminal probe into how they were
obtained.
