Kate Middleton may have a fourth child says expert
Kate Middleton and Prince William are now going from strength to as they step up to more senior royal duties alongside their busy family life with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. However, the Duke and Duchess had a shock in 2012 when they were away on a royal tour and discovered that intrusive photographs of the Duchess sunbathing topless had been published in the European press. Marcia Moody, in her 2013 book “Kate: A Biography”, reveals how Kate reacted when the news broke while the royal pair were in Malaysia, where they were visiting on behalf of the Queen for her Diamond Jubilee year in September 2012.
Ms Moody writes: “In Kuala Lumpur, Kate boiled inside but she smiled for the cameras and took legal action.
“She may have been feeling vulnerable and angry, but she looked relaxed and as if she was enjoying herself.”
The Duchess “remained silent” on her thoughts, but brought off the “huge success” of the tour.
Ms Moody explains how the photographs were taken in France earlier that month.

She writes: “Just before the tour, the pair had borrowed the home of Viscount Linley in Provence for a short break, and unbeknown to them a local paparazzo had taken a set of pictures of Kate sunbathing topless on the balcony.
“The pictures had run in the French version of Closer magazine and, as the days span on, one publication after another printed them: in Denmark, Italy and the Republic of Ireland.”
The editor of French Closer, Laurence Pieau, stated: “These photos are not in the least shocking. they show a young woman sunbathing topless, like the millions of women you see on beaches.”
However, Ms Moody explains: “The couple swiftly drafted one of the most strongly worded statements they had ever released.”

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s statement read: “Their Royal Highnesses have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner.
“The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so.
“Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house.
“It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them.”

In 2007, a “furious” Prince William also had to step in to protect Kate, when she was “harassed” on her birthday.
Photographers reportedly thrust their lenses less than a foot from her face and her car was blocked, as rumours had spread that the pair were shortly getting engaged.
A spokesman for the Prince said at the time: “Prince William is very unhappy at the paparazzi harassment of his girlfriend.
“He wants, more than anything, for it to stop.”
