Prince William, Kate Middleton Win Vacation Photos Lawsuit

by

Kate Middleton and Prince William are receiving justice for a breach on their privacy. 

The British royal family successfully sued the French magazine Paris Match after it published photos of their family vacation in the Swiss Alps. The photos featured Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. A French court ruled in favor of the royals, according to People magazine.

The Prince and Princess of Wales expressed their strong disapproval of a magazine publishing photos and details about their private vacation, calling it a serious invasion of privacy. A spokesperson for the family told People magazine on October 30th that they are committed to protecting their children from similar unwanted attention.

Instead of seeking money in court, the royals requested that the court simply make a public record of their legal victory, according to People magazine. This announcement was made on October 30th.

Prince William and Princess Kate have won a legal case in France against the publisher of Paris Match magazine. According to a statement, the magazine published a highly invasive article and paparazzi photos taken during the couple’s private family vacation in the Alps in April.

TopMob News has contacted both the royal family and Paris Match for comment on the legal case, but we haven’t received a response yet.

As a longtime follower, I’ve noticed Kate and William have always been protective of their family’s privacy, and this situation is no different. Especially this year, with Kate bravely battling cancer, she actually spoke out about the intense public interest in her health before she even shared her diagnosis in March. It was clear they were trying to manage things with grace and keep some aspects of their lives private, even under such difficult circumstances.

As many of you know, William and I have been navigating a health challenge privately for a while now, and I recently shared my diagnosis. Honestly, our priority has been protecting our young family through this. We’re truly grateful for your understanding as we take the time, space, and privacy we need to focus on my treatment and support each other as a family. It means the world to us.

She shared that she truly loves her work and hopes to return once she’s fully recovered, but right now, her priority is getting better.

Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, has announced he will no longer use the title Duke of York. This decision comes because of ongoing public concern about his relationship with the late Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex offenses.

Okay, so I’ve been following everything so closely, and it’s just… exhausting. I read the statement, and honestly, it’s what I’ve been hoping for! He said he talked it over with The King and his family, and they all agree the constant drama is taking away from the important work the Royal Family does. It breaks my heart, but he’s decided to keep focusing on what’s best for them, for the country, like he always has. He’s reaffirming that decision he made years ago to step back – and honestly, it’s the right thing to do. It’s all about protecting them, and I completely understand. I just want everyone to focus on the amazing work they do!

Andrew stated that, with the King’s approval, he was taking things a step further. He would give up his royal title and any honors he’d received. As he’s said before, he strongly denies the claims made against him.

 

In October 2025, the King and his oldest son attended the Countdown to COP30 event held at the Natural History Museum in London.

The couple took photos outside the museum and then went inside to talk with government officials and activists dedicated to fighting climate change. This event happened before the COP30 World Leaders Summit in Belém, Brazil, next November, which Prince William will attend in place of his father.

In September 2025, Sarah, Duchess of York, stepped down as a patron of Julia’s House after an old email from 2011 surfaced. The email revealed she referred to Jeffrey Epstein as a friend.

After details of the Duchess of York’s communication with Jeffrey Epstein became public this weekend, Julia’s House has decided it’s no longer appropriate for her to continue as their patron. The charity has informed the Duchess of this decision and expressed gratitude for her previous contributions, according to The Guardian.

A representative for Ferguson stated the email was sent following a threat made by Epstein.

After a 19-month absence, Prince Harry was spotted arriving at Clarence House—the King’s home in London—apparently to visit his father before attending another event in the city.

Harry arrived at the house around 5:20 p.m. on September 10th, but Charles had come back just a few hours earlier.

Princess Anne’s son and his girlfriend, Harriet Sperling, announced their engagement on August 1st after dating for over a year. His father is Mark Phillips.

The couple’s representative told Hello! magazine that both families were told about the engagement at the same time and were very happy about it.

Just a day before turning 78, the royal was made an honorary Vice Admiral by the Royal Navy.

Camilla is the first woman to receive this honorary title. It’s awarded only by the monarch – in this case, her husband, King Charles III – based on a recommendation from the First Sea Lord, currently Sir Gwyn Jenkins.

Just hours before she was scheduled to attend, Princess Catherine cancelled her appearance at Royal Ascot, according to Kensington Palace.

Oh my gosh, I just read the latest update about Princess Kate, and it breaks my heart! Apparently, she was so bummed to miss the event, but honestly, she’s still trying to find her feet after everything she’s been through with her cancer. It’s like she’s carefully figuring out how much she can do and still take care of herself, and I totally get that! She needs to prioritize her health, and I’m just sending all my love and support as she navigates this new normal. It’s just…she’s amazing, and I’m so proud of her for being so strong.

Prince Harry’s lawsuit seeking extra security ended on May 2nd when a court dismissed it. This came more than a year after a previous request for increased protection was denied by the High Court’s Royal and VIP Executive Committee.

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals in 2021 and moved to the U.S., their security protection was reduced. However, Harry later requested continued security arrangements during his visits to the U.K.

Prince Harry told the BBC on May 2nd that he was deeply upset by the outcome of his legal fight. He stated that, as things currently stand, he doesn’t foresee returning to the UK with his wife and children.

In an interview with the BBC on May 2nd, Prince Harry explained that his father, King Charles III, isn’t currently speaking to him due to disagreements about security arrangements. He expressed hope that they can resolve their differences and rebuild their relationship.

As someone who follows family dynamics closely, I’ve been keeping an eye on the situation with Prince Harry. He’s expressed a real desire to rebuild his relationship with his father and brother, which is lovely to hear. Ultimately, though, it seems like the next step depends on his dad, King Charles. He’s hoping for a move from his father’s side to open up those lines of communication again.

He doesn’t foresee returning to the U.K. with his family anytime soon. He expressed sadness about not being able to share his heritage with his children.

Harry explained that his father has significant influence and could potentially solve the situation. He suggested this wouldn’t require direct involvement, but rather allowing professionals to handle things without interference.

I’m seeing a really positive shift – after years of disagreement, someone I know is finally reaching out for peace. It’s incredibly moving, and honestly, it’s a reminder of what truly matters. They shared with me that life is just too short, especially when you’re thinking about a loved one, like their father, and wanting to make things right while you still can. It really puts everything into perspective.

More than a year after revealing his cancer diagnosis, King Charles wrote on April 29th that going through treatment has highlighted the kindness and strength he’s seen in people.

In a booklet offering support to cancer patients, Charles explained that a diagnosis is understandably a scary time for individuals and their families. However, drawing from his own experience, he shared that it can also reveal incredible kindness and strength in people.

He expressed his gratitude to the healthcare workers who cared for him, and shared that the experience deepened his respect for the incredible work done by the organizations and people present, many of whom he’s known and supported for years.

Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – were absent from the royal family’s traditional Easter service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor on April 20th.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla joined the rest of the royal family in celebrations, but Prince William and Kate chose to spend the weekend at their country home in Norfolk with their children, according to several news sources.

This was the second Easter the couple missed. It happened just a week after Princess Kate shared the news of her cancer diagnosis.

On April 15th, Jason Knauf was appointed the new CEO of Prince William’s environmental initiative, The Earthshot Prize. In a statement on the organization’s website, Knauf expressed his excitement about collaborating with the team and the Earthshot community to further their goal of finding optimistic solutions for the planet.

He received a promotion almost seven years after he reported concerns about Meghan Markle’s behavior, claiming she bullied two personal assistants and tried to discredit another staff member. Representatives for the Sussexes refuted these claims, telling The Times that the accusations were part of a deliberate effort to spread false and damaging information.

Oh my gosh, I’ve been following this so closely! Apparently, the Palace actually looked into everything, but they just… closed the case in 2022. Can you believe it? And they haven’t said anything about what they found, which just makes me even more convinced something really happened! It’s infuriating, honestly – they’re keeping everything secret!

William and Kate’s eldest son George attended a soccer match in Paris alongside his dad April 7.

Graham Craker, a former bodyguard to Prince Harry and Prince William, passed away in April at the age of 77.

Craker was with Princes William and Harry when they found out their mother, Princess Diana, had passed away, and he was present at her funeral.

In 2017, Craker told The New York Post that he saw Prince William acknowledge him during the procession. Craker had been standing near the back of the hearse, and he and the Prince exchanged a nod. Craker said Prince William seemed reassured that he was there with his mother during her final journey.

Robert shared in a statement that his son, Frederik, is a superhero to their family, countless friends, and now, thanks to Frederik’s PolG Foundation, to people all over the world. Robert believes Frederik’s strength came from his ability to inspire others and lead through his own actions.

 

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, reached a legal settlement with News Group Newspapers – the company behind both The Sun and the now-closed News of the World – on January 22nd. He had sued the organization in 2019, claiming that journalists and investigators working for its newspapers illegally obtained information about the royal family.

As a long-time supporter of Prince Harry, I was relieved to hear about the settlement. The company didn’t just offer money – they paid him significant damages and, importantly, gave a complete and sincere apology. They publicly admitted how much damaging coverage he and, heartbreakingly, his mother, Princess Diana, endured, and the incredibly serious invasion of their privacy. It’s a huge step towards accountability, and I’m glad they’ve finally acknowledged the harm caused.

On January 14th, The Princess of Wales shared the wonderful news that her cancer treatment has been successful and she is now in remission.

She shared on X (formerly Twitter) on January 14th that she’s grateful to be in remission and is continuing to focus on getting better. She also noted that, like anyone facing a cancer diagnosis, it’s taking time to adjust to life afterward.

Meghan shared a heartfelt message, saying, “Thank you, my sweet Guy, for loving me so completely for so many years. You brought so much joy to my life.”

 

Edward Pettifer, the stepson of Prince William and Prince Harry’s former nanny, Tiggy Legge-Bourke (also known as Alexandra Pettifer), was a victim of the terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day.

As many of you know, Kate and I were absolutely heartbroken to hear about the passing of Ed Pettifer. It’s such a tragic loss, and our hearts go out to his family and everyone affected by this terrible event. We’re sending all our love and support during this incredibly difficult time.

The next day, she revealed a new Netflix series called With Love, Meghan. A press release described it as a fresh take on lifestyle shows, combining helpful tips and honest chats with both familiar and new friends.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I was thrilled to see Kate and William taking Prince George and Princess Charlotte to Wimbledon this June! It’s such a lovely treat to catch glimpses of the family enjoying a rare public outing together.
