The Editor of French magazine ‘Closer,’ who published topless photos of Kate Middleton on September 14, is defending her actions.
Laurence Pieau, Editor of Closer, spoke out today and said that “one shouldn’t dramatise these pictures.” Keep reading to see what else she is saying!
Earlier today, St James Palace released an official statement saying they are suing the magazine: “St James’s Palace confirms that legal proceedings for breach of privacy have been commenced today in France by The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge against the Publishers of Closer Magazine France.”

But Closer Editor, Laurence Pieau, feels strongly that she did nothing wrong. ”These photos are not in the least shocking,” she told the Agence France-Presse on September 14. “They show a young woman sunbathing topless, like the millions of women you see on beaches.”
Pieau says the outrage over the photos being published is “disproportionate.” She says, “It is a young couple that has just been married. They are in love. They are beautiful. She is the princess of the 21st century.”
She also goes on to say that Kate was on the balcony in plain view from the road below. She says they are “full of joy and not degrading.”
