Kate Middleton Bottomless Photos: Se Og Hor Will NOT Print New Photos; Duchess Attends Society Wedding
Just as the topless photo scandal involving Kate Middleton had begun to die down, reports surfaced on Sept. 28 that the last magazine to run the topless photos, Se og Hør would run new as-yet-seen "bottomless" photos.
The magazine's editor defended the reports, stating the rumors were incorrect.
The Danish celebrity weekly's editor said they will not print the rumored "bottomless" pictures featuring the future queen taking off her bottom bikini.
Se og Hør featured the topless images of Middleton in the magazine's Sept. 20 issue.
"Those are from the same set of photos first seen in the French magazine Closer, then in an Italian magazine and an Irish newspaper," said Se og Hør Editor-in-chief Kim Henningsen, according to CNN.
Henningsen reportedly ran 200 photos of the royal couple in a 16-page spread. When the photos ran two weeks ago, Henningsen defended the printing of the scandalous images at the time. Se og Hør was the fifth magazine to feature them.
"It's a set of unique photos from an A-class celebrity," said Henningsen. "We are a leading gossip magazine in Denmark, and it is my job to publish them. If the British royal family want to sue us, then it will happen then and we'll deal with it."
The topless photos were also published in Sweden's Se och Hoer, the Danish celebrity weekly's sister publication. Se och Hoer ran the photos on Sept., 19. Both magazines are published by Denmark-based Aller Media.
According to several reports, an unidentified British photographer took photos of the Duchess of Cambridge while she was on a personal vacation with her husband Prince William at a chateau in the south of France.
The printing of the personal vacation pics led to legal action being enforced from their attorneys while the couple was on tour in Southeast Asia celebrating the Diamond Jubilee earlier this month. The couple won a legal junction banning French Closer, the first magazine to print the topless photos, from future use of the images. French police reportedly raided the offices of French Closer to retrieve the controversial images and to learn the identity of the photographer.
While the Danish editor was defending the allegations of additionally printing bottomless pictures, the Duchess of Cambridge joined her father at a society wedding in England on Saturday, Sept.29
Michael Middleton walked a friend of their family, Thierry Kelaart, down the aisle at her wedding to stand in for her late father.
The Duchess and sister, Pippa Middleton, watched as their father gave away the bride at her lavish ceremony.
The sisters remained low-key so the spotlight would not be taken away from the beautiful bride, Daily Mail reported.
After Kelaart married Patrick Healthcote, the Middleton sisters' mother ushered the famous clan out of the side door at St. Bartholomew's church where the wedding was held.
"As far as I'm aware the Middleton's are very, very old family friends of the bride," a source told Daily Mail.
"The wedding was lovely, absolutely lovely," said another source. "I don't know why Michael Middleton was chosen to give the bride away but I know her father has passed away."
