Kate Middleton - Sky News presenter Kay Burley has told the Duchess of Cambridge to buy a six-pack of big pants, after a photograph of the Duchess's bottom was printed in German daily newspaper Bild.
While UK newspapers opted not to print the photo of Kate's butt bottom, the German newspaper has since followed up Monday's editorial with a cheeky piece entitled: “Look, dear Brits… These 10 bums are our Royal moments,” alongside a selection of 10 pert German backsides.
The initial publication of the picture of Kate's behind prompted an international outcry and has rekindled the debate about how to protect the privacy of the Royal couple.
In 2012, the Prince and Duchess launched a legal case against French magazine Closer that published topless shots of the Duchess taken while she was on holiday in Provence Chateaux. Kate Middleton’s exposed bum has come to Australia.
German newspaper Bild has posted a shot of Kate’s skirt blowing in the wind, revealing her “bare bottom” in Australia. The photos sparked criticisms, with some blaming Kate for her seemingly lack of care for her modesty, while others questioning the paper’s decision to run the photos.
The UK media decided not to publish the photos; hence, they were sold overseas.
Australian newspapers and magazines also avoided the photos, but one newspaper refused to follow the media’s “antiquated code of etiquette.”
The Daily Telegraph, a local paper owned by Rupert Murdoch, posted the photo in a piece titled, “Why should the media stick to an antiquated code of etiquette when Kate doesn’t bother to protect her own modesty?”
The topless photos were discreetly shot from a private estate by Closer magazine.
