The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to sue a European magazine for publishing private photos of Kate taken while she was on holiday.

The chief executive of the publisher of Closer magazine in the UK says he’s complained to the firm which licensed the title in France.

Paul Keenan says his company deplores the publication of – what he describes as – “intrusive and offensive pictures”.

He says his company has asked Closer France to remove the photos and not to publish any more.
