according to the GOB Shiites in Ireland your private garden is their public property.
No wonder they are turning into the bailout beggars of Europe

Is the press going to follow Kate around and harass her just as the did with Princess Diana? I could imagine that this is a touchy subject for Prince William. Everybody should allow them some privacy.

Keep your clothes on and you won't have to worry about these kind of pictures.

If she was dumb enough to be outside where this could happen then FREEDOM OF THE PRESS takes it from there

Cant wait for the backlash from the silent majority. The first casualties will be innocent workers at the paper who will be on the dole next week. The second casualties will be the Irish Taxpayers when they feel the full wrath of a British boycott covering everything from business and entertainment to tourism. The biggest casualty of all however will be the Irish image which has now exchanged its 40 shades of Green the gutter culture of FIfty Shades of Gray

It's an invasion of privacy, even though the 'royal'couple are high-profile celebrities. Not interested in any of them. Think it was reported & photos were published in scandal sheets in the 60's that Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (Onassis)was photographed on a Onassis yacht topless. All that money and pity the 'inconvenience' it causes...Irony, indeed. All that's needed are the end credits of Rocky & Buffwinkle with the passing parade of all 'royals' through time then with Roman soldiers, followed by the little man with the brush-mustache sweeping up after This and sundry other pageants... : )

I For one think it was in bad taste to publish those topless pictures . why do we have to stoop that low and shame a beautiful person like kate. have we all been reduced to animals. just think you would feel if she were your, Mother , Wife or Daughter or Granddaughter?

Nil fonn ar bith agam Kate Middleton a fheiceail gan eadai ar bith uirthi. B'fheidir go bhfuil Kate gan chiall (cuireann an focal "gan" seimhiu ar na litreacha seo "b,c, g, m, p") ar bith in a cloigeann. Nochta, is rudai eile. Is mithid di fas anios agus a bheith ina duine fasta.
Mo naire uirthi agus ar an nuachtan seo freisin.

A good reminder of what can happen when we depend on our English 'friends' although I'm not a reader of said rag.
Lastly, she's so damned skinny, I have to ask "What Boobs does she really have anyway and why would anyone care to see them?"
Seconded. Quite the scrawny English rose. Nothing to get excited about, truth be told.

The Gutter Press and the ill gotten photos should be shut down. The photographer and Mr. O'Kane should be on the dole line next week. They will not be satisfied until they run this lovely young woman into the side of a wall like Diana. Don't these people have any conscious or integrity? I guess not, therefore they are gutter snipes. Shut the rag paper down.

Note to Richard Desmond: Get over yourself. As for the Duchess of Cambridge let's hope she's learned a lesson. I am in complete agreement with 'Rebelforce'. If Kate's willing to flaunt it then she should expect that the papparazzi will photograph it. Sorry, but she walked right into this one.
