Kate Middleton

I'd like to see the pictures before passing judgement.

I feel for the Royal Family. Not a moment to themselves...ever. Not quite sure why Kate Middleton would want to marry into that.

There are many who are out to sacrifice what ever they have for the society .

.... I'd love to kick a paparazzi in the nuts!

.. so was it the Frech who were behind Kate going topless or was it the weather. Well anyway the sights were not very pretty compared to the nice scenery in the background

Just typical.... A Frenchman does the dirty, so you blame the whole country... exactly why things are in such a shambles today;-p

She wasn't on a public beach, she was in a private residence so think her privacy should be respected!

Bachus;-p

xena--now we just have to find a Frenchman who actually works there :-(

Look if you choose that lifestyle of rich and famous in the world we live in today expect to be photographed in unusual places, expect someone to find old news about plus bring it to the publics attention, expect to be put on a pedestal plus knocked back to earth. Famous people quite often say that we dont our private life in the public, but quite often than not a lot of them use the media to keep their names in the public eye. Im not saying it is right, it thats how it works in modern times.

I have thrown away my beret and refused to eat French mustard or shop at Carrefour. I will also refuse to buy that silly long bread and the smelly cheese.

As far as the pictures are concerned, I believe thy should not have been taken or published..

Nobody, no matter who they are , should have their pictures taken without their consent. Period.

a) I Googled the pictures not because I am a perv, but because I had to see what all the fuss is about.

b) Yup what do you know... a woman's breasts... (I think mine are bigger, but that was my only thought)

c) She knows the score... she knows these dirty barstwards hungry to make a buck out of her misfortune are hiding in bushes all over the place with very powerful telephoto lenses. She should have known better than getting her baps out in the open even if in a very private area. A mistake I am sure she will not make again.

d) That said this is wrong. The sleazy git that took the images should be hit with a heavy fine (equal to if not more than any money he made from the images) and preferably stuck in jail for a bit to make an example of him. And for that mater so should the editor of any magazine publishing the images.

e) That said... All the pictures do is show that she is human. I'm not going to say no harm done, because I'm sure as far as she is concerned a lot of harm has been done. But it will pass. The main thing is; she did nothing wrong herself so she cannot be critisised in any way (unlike if this was say a public beach) and all this errrr.... exposure will do her no harm in the long run, and will in fact generate a lot of sympathy for her.

f) None of us will remember this next week.

^I bet William more pissed off about this than she is.

I am filled with indifference about this story.

At Britexpat--big groan.

For informational purposes, I just viewed the pics. Not the most flattering but nothing to be ashamed of either. It's bound to result in more comments about her being too thin, though.

i agree it was a sleazy thing for those paparazzo to do and they could get sued to hell for all i care.

the thing is, their security should have been more thorough when checking the premises of the area. and although they (and i'm not just talking about security here) were on private property, shouldn't they have been a bit more careful considering harry's recent scandal as well?

i seriously don't get how westerners like to bare it all outside though

Frankly, I think prince has made a sensible choice by marrying a not so glamorous woman.

My problem? This: "I seriously don't get how westerners like to bare it all outside though."

Aside from Kate, none of them chose that life. Give them a break (or at least some privacy on their vacation).

Do you now.

Have you ever considered that you can resign as a "King" or "Prince", Ryan? You can, if the "royal" life is too stressful for you. NOOOO problem, except that you lose the interest of the public in your life and lots of money!!

I want anybody who chooses to be in a public office that his life is exposed to the last second. He must be without mistakes and flaws, otherwise, he should be removed.

I agree that public figures should be under the spotlight and be open to scrutiny. But in this instance they were on a "private" holiday and their privacy should have been respected.

Stupid woman!!!! she's in the public eye and sunbathing topless is very naff......she wanted that lifestyle now she needs to realise she can't do that.She now belongs to the British public, Afterall we pay for her holidays!!!

Where's wirehead? We need another blanket statement to help us make sense of all this.

I'm worked up on your statement, not this issue.
