I havent looked at the photos and I wont, this is a woman that has done nothing but act respectful as her roll as the future queen and she gets marginalized by a cheap piece of crap photographer

Absolute garbage she doesn't deserve this
Ha, misspelling one word gives this a whole different possible meaning.

Regardless of the right or wrong, the world's number one payday target for photographers should be more paranoid about parading out of doors in the buff, private estate or not.

The victim shouldn't be blamed, but in the real, sleazy world................... she should have seen that one coming. Ditto Harry a few weeks ago.

It will be interesting to see how the legal stuff works out.

Your dislike of the royals has blinded you not see the difference between this case and crap celebs who does this on purpose.

Just because she is in the royal family doesn't mean that she should have no expectation of privacy at any point during her life.
IMO, this is a woman who voluntarily entered into a life of fame, privilege, and riches with full knowledge that, in doing so, she'd become one of the biggest focuses of public interest in the world.

This isn't Kate Middleton being victimized, it's her getting a taste of the cost of becoming a princess.

Don't want to be photographed topless? Don't go topless.

She wasn't getting pig-roasted. She was topless and in her mind in a private setting. I really fail to see the big deal at all. Whoever published the phots is a complete arse-hole but really, why does the rest of the world care? They're boobs. We've all seen 'em. It's ridiculous what a big story this has become.

What's more disturbing than anything is the improper apostrophe in the thread title.

Don't want to be photographed topless? Don't go topless.

So the rule is that all famous women have no right to privacy cause they choose to be famous.

This is a person who has done nothing but cut ribbons at hospitals and visit kids that are dying.

Do you have any idea what this will do to her? She has been marginalized to a pair of t--ts in a paper? No matter what she does these pics will come up. So the price of being a princess is a loss of dignity...nice.

Are there other situations I don't know about when it is ok to degrade a women? A short skirt means ok to hit on?, a hooker can be raped?
There must be a line that you have that says it's ok, just where does it start? Does it start at fame then?

Its not the fact that somebody took those pictures that is disgusting its that somebody paid for them.

No Prince Harry was entirely his own fault. Again a private estate, she had every expectation of privacy.

The cost of becoming wife of the future King of England is a loss of personal privacy. This has been a well known fact since well before Ms. Middleton was born, so if she wasn't prepared to accept that her private life was going to become public interest, she should have married a school teacher.

Oh, give me a F***ing break. Being photographed when you chose to go topless is equivalent to rape?

As for the short skirt analogy, I'd say that any attractive woman who chooses to wear a short skirt to a night club can expect to be hit on. Therefore, if you are a woman who doesn't feel like being hit on, don't go to a night club, or dress more modestly.

Edit: The line is, if the known and expected outcome of engaging in a given act is X, don't engage in that act and then become offended when X occurs.
