There's a big legal stink brewing between the House of Windsor and the media in the wake of publication of topless shots of Princess Katherine. Threats of civil and criminal action are being bandied around, and they will doubtless be resisted by the media on the basis of freedome of speech and other such notions.
But we can't help but wonder; the royals know that the cameras are never far away. So wouldn't this unseemly row have been averted had Prince William's good lady wife simply kept her bikini top ON whilst swimming?
Princess Katherine is learning a very valuable life lesson; every action has a consequence.

Yes but with zoom lenses that take pics from a mile away, does this mean that they have to be careful when they take a shower, or get changed, just in case someone is peering in the window. These people are allowed some sort of private life, especially when they in private.
Well done that cameraman!
Can't have been easy 'shooting' that skinny thing.
More importantly, what the camera sees, so does a rifle's telescopic sights.
Can public figures never be private?
Let's not blame the victim but the photographer, the papers who bought the shots and the people who buy the papers which publish them.
Um, I presume that the "Princess Katherine" bit is about what she should be, rather than what she is? The Duchess of Cambridge is not a princess, even though she is married to a prince. You could call her "the Princess William", though, and be correct. She will become the Princess of Wales at such time as her husband might become the Prince of that Nation, but until then she is HRH Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge etc, etc.
More on topic, you are absolutely correct- she should be aware of such things and take precautions. It is both principled and naive to say that there is a firm expectation of privacy in such cases.
