Swedish celebrity magazine Se och Hör published pictures of Prince William's wife Catherine sunbathing topless in a three-page spread that went on sale on newsstands Wednesday.

One grainy shot taken from the front shows her removing her turquoise-coloured bikini bottoms.
The magazine was the fourth publication to print the pictures which have outraged the British royal family.
They were first published by French magazine Closer last week, then in Ireland's Daily Star and Italy's Chi magazine. They have already been widely circulated on the Internet.
"This is nothing unusual, these are quite nice pictures if you compare with other celebrity pictures that we publish all the time," Se och Hör chief editor Carina Löfkvist told AFP.
She had no figures for the number of copies Se och Hör sold on Wednesday, but said the publication had not made headlines in Sweden.
"It's been a bit of a topic of conversation ... but it's nothing special," she said.
The magazine had a regular weekly circulation of 105,600 in 2011.
Se och Hör belongs to the Denmark-based Aller Media company that owns the Danish celebrity magazine Se og Hør, which announced earlier Wednesday that it plans to publish a 16-page spread with the pictures on Thursday.
Löfkvist said her magazine bought the pictures last Friday "from photographers and photo agencies, the way we always do" and "before everything erupted."
The decision to publish the photos has incensed the royal family, whose lawyers have obtained a civil injunction and sought criminal charges in Paris.
French authorities on Tuesday banned Closer magazine from any further distribution of the pictures and began a criminal probe into how they were obtained.

How very, very crass but very Sveriges-like.

So, has Carl Bildt met lately with Karl Rove????
its been on the internet ONCE and that is enough for the pics to be out there FOREVER!
she has gross boobs anyway.
She knew the deal when she married into the firm, it was going to be a life of untold luxury and never she´ll want for anything but there would also be the downside, you will be getting your photo taken from all angles and as this case shows, distances, hey I´d put up with a few topless shots getting past around if I got the rest of the deal she has!
COULDN'T AGREE MORE!
Let's rise up against the monsters and *STOP* buying their magazines. They don't deserve your money!!! Kate does NOT deserve this treatment.
sooner or later all that make up and padded bra has to come off and reveal the real girl below.
I agree with Lotus2035: Nobody cares about Kate's tits. Honestly. Nor her bum. Nor her shoulders. Nor her thighs. Nor her Brazilian. Nor her... ooh, err... wait a minute... please excuse me...
They are calling it the Kate Middleton range
:-)
If so then that they have probably sparked more interest in bringing it to peoples attention and if they hadn't done that, other publications that now emerge and bravely publish the pictures maybe wouldn't have felt so inclined to do so since it wouldn't have been such a big selling point.
