A French magazine claims to have topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge (formerly known to the world as Kate Middleton) although only the BBC appears to have seen them. The news will, no doubt, provoke all the usual comments about privacy and public interest whether they turn out to be genuine or not, but it has already initiated a torrent of internet searches by people wishing to see for themselves.

However, some are already hijacking this prurient curiosity about what's in the Duchess of Cambridge's bra.

With this tweet, @hornery sucked them in...

...and then presented this image:

Here's how @tokyo_sexwhale baited the searchers...

...So that they could look at this:

@Gideon_Osboner went with this...

And @WelshDalaiLama used a similar tactic...

The real pictures were apparently taken while Kate and William were on holiday at a relative's French chateau last week. BBC royal reporter Nicholas Witchell has been quoted as saying that British papers were offered the long lens snaps last week but turned them down.

Whether they turn out to be genuine or not, the internet searches - and the parodies - will continue to flood in...

Why are there perverts with camera's as hey people in private and someone with a long tom lens and a desire to reward himself with monies for his perversion.

If he wants to be decent about it, go in a studio and photograph women whom want it that way.

Do not encourage perverts that look at peoples private functions, shine lights at night into bathroom and and peer into windows 24/7 and then have a rub-off whilst they are doing it,bedroom windows hoping to publish more than they ought.

What next topless photographs of Dave C whilst he was being happily whipped by a full clothed Goldilocks and photographed by Newt International.

Wonder what the payment National currencies were in?

Your own Peter Wilby said all that needs to be said about this: 'I support the decision to print photos of Prince Harry cavorting nude in Las Vegas. Those who demand privacy for royalty make a category error, like demanding human rights for cats. Members of the royal family have no role beyond providing public entertainment; apart from a certain facility with horses, they have no talents or skills to admire.' Likewose for Middleton.
