Scene of the crime: Royals confirm legal action against French mag as we reveal spot where long-lens photo of topless Kate was taken
St James's Palace today confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had launched legal action for breach of privacy against the publishers of Closer magazine in France after it published topless pictures of Kate.
It is understood that the Royal couple's aim in launching legal proceedings is to prevent further use of the images and to seek damages. Despite this, at least two U.S. celebrity gossip websites are this evening also showing the topless pictures.
Details of the legal action came as this photograph emerged showing the position where the photographer is believed to have taken the controversial pictures. It is thought to be just over half a mile away from the chateau in Provence where the Royal couple were staying.

THAT IS KATE BACKSIDE |
In confirming the legal action would be taken, St James's Palace announced its lawyers would be pursuing the matter through the French courts.
In a short statement, the palace said: '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.'
The royal couple have the sympathy of Downing Street with a source close to David Cameron saying that Number 10 'echoes the sadness of the palace' over the publication of the pictures.
