Its not often you hear about the Royal Family, or indeed those associated with the royal family, taking legal action. They generally like to rise above it all, because, lets face it, they are the Royal Family. However, something interesting was announced today which will see Kate Middleton, girlfriend of Prince William, take legal action against a photographer that she claims took pictures of her on Christmas Day, which is only a month after the Queen issued a warning to the media about publishing any paparazzi photographs of the royals.

Miss Middleton is seeking damages and it is thought that this move has had the backing of the Royal Family. Will she win? Only time will tell, and it could go either way. After all, Miss Middleton isn’t officially a member of the Royal family yet, so one might assume that the ‘no photograph’ rule doesn’t really apply to her.

It’s an interesting legal case and one that we can’t wait to find out more about. Will keep you all posted with any further news regarding this.
