The Brits are in the middle of  (another - other) scandal involving a semi-nude royal: After (to issue - issuing)  a strong condemnation, the royal family will (suit - sue) a French magazine for publishing photos of a topless Duchess of Cambridge.

The Duchess, if you're not a royal watcher, is Kate Middleton, Prince William's wife and the future queen of England.

The celebrity gossip magazine Closer published 12 pictures of Kate while she was vacationing in the south of France. Thing is, that those pictures were taken when Kate "slipped off her bikini top, relaxed on a sun lounger and at one point pulled down the back of her bikini bottoms while William rubbed sun cream on her lower back."

    "'St James's Palace confirms that legal ( procedure - proceedings) for (breach - break) of privacy have been commenced today in France by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (against  - again) the publishers of Closer Magazine France,' the couple's office said in a statement.

    "Under the headline 'Oh my God!', the photos show the couple, (which - whose) natural conduct  (for - since) their April wedding has won them fans worldwide, soaking up the sun on the balcony of a 19th century hunting lodge, oblivious to paparazzi."

This scandal (come - comes) just weeks after the American website TMZ.com published pictures of Prince Harry in buff during a Las Vegas party.

ITV News spoke to the editor of the French magazine ( which - who) downplayed the photographs.

"These pictures show nothing  (shocked - shocking)," Laurence Pieau said. "They show a young woman sunbathing topless, as millions do on the beaches."

(Although - However) the palace was not very happy. The Royal Family called the publishing of the images a "grotesque" abuse of privacy. "It likened the case to the hounding of William's mother, the late Princess Diana, by paparazzi before her untimely death in 1997".
