Britain’s Prince William and his wife Catherine, have won a lawsuit against a French magazine. Paris Match had published photos of the Prince of Wales’s family’s ski vacation earlier this year.
A French judge ruled that this violated the family’s privacy.
“The Prince and Princess of Wales have been successful in legal proceedings brought in France against the owner of Paris Match, who published a highly intrusive article and paparazzi photos of their private family vacation in the Alps in April,” a Kensington Palace spokesperson told various media outlets.
“The ruling confirms that, despite their public duties as members of the Royal Family, Their Royal Highnesses and their children are entitled to respect for their private life and family time.”
The judge ordered the publication to publish a statement acknowledging the violation of their privacy. The magazine must also pay William and Catherine’s legal costs in France.
