Commoner to Duchess: The Story of Kate Middleton’s Rise to the Top
A Feud With the Press
Kate has been at the center of many media scandals since she joined the creme de la creme of British netizens. One of the most memorable is that time in 2012 when the French tabloids published photos of her sunbathing.
One of the reporters had used a long-lens camera to take a private photo of the Duchess during her time at the secluded French villa. As expected, the royals didn’t take such insensitive behavior lying down. The couple sued “Closer Magazine” and “La Provence” for $1.9 million in damages, and the court also granted an injunction to bar the images from being published.
