Seems to be the major news story of the day so maybe it's a good sign that no seriously bad news is around at present.

Provided the royals do what they should do and maintain a dignified silence - not one comment - it is pretty much a non-story.

If they comment or react in any way it will be much bigger news than it should be.

That's exactly the problem.

Apparently they've made a mountain out of a molehill, ...or should that be 2 molehills ?

Otherwise it might have been passed off fairly quietly, as according to the reports I've seen the photos are rubbish and not very clear, taken from a long distance away with a long distance lens.
Still wouldn't mind a peek myself though.

Does nudity not make us all equal? On my coffee round earlier I came across a former UK bank manager, at regional level, an important man in his day. He's a nice guy but doesn't look very important in daft shorts, an inappropriate vest, leading an ugly rescue dog around.

I suppose if Prince Charles sat there dressed in the same way, he wouldn't look like the future King either.

He wouldn't need an ugly rescue dog either, he would be leading his own horse around, but if she was nude it would clear my little cafe, that's for sure.

Rescue dogs are the best. No excessive in breeding. My dog is half border collie and half opportunist.

Christ, can you imagine this lot topless? It's enough to make you take up reading the Koran.

I suppose they are all the more upset because it reminds them of the role of the paparazzi in Diana's death. It's pretty sick really, this sort of voyeurism. I hope they do sue the French magazine.

Essex girls moved up North, have they ?

Though I must admit its a bit difficult to recognise them all with their clothes on.

Maybe you're right, but I have another theory. They say that those giant gas works at Doncaster are not harmful to the local population, but those picture tend to suggest otherwise.

In one picture you can clearly see that the young lady has lost her teeth at far to early an age. They should get Green Peace up there to have a closer look.

Guys in Doncaster don't concern themselves much with such trivialities,...... though in some situations it can be looked upon as a plus factor.

I see Will and Kate have begun legal proceedings against the French Magazine, though what purpose it will serve eludes me somewhat.

For a start they are simply prolonging their own distress.

Also damages awarded in French Courts are not on anything like the same scale as those in the US and UK.

It will simply be an opportunity for the media in general to make more money out of the affair whilst dragging it out even further and will be unlikely to deter foreign magazines from doing the same again should the opportunity arise.

Having had a shufty through the photos I must say she looks better with all her clothes on.
Far to skinny for my liking anyway.
