Well, here’s some news the royal family might be happy about.

A French court just pulled the plug on publishing the now notorious topless photos of Kate Middleton sunbathing with Prince William.

But according to TMZ, this victory “is kinda like plugging a dike which keeps springing leaks.” That doesn’t sound too reassuring.

They report:

The court called the invasion of Kate and Prince William‘s privacy a “brutal display” and ordered Closer Magazine to immediately turn over all digital copies of the pics …. or else.  The “or else” is a $13,100 daily fine.

Here’s the problemo.  The pics have also been published in Italy and Ireland and the ruling doesn’t cover those magazines.

The palace also plans to file a criminal complaint.  It appears the photog got the shots courtesy of a telephoto lens as they sunbathed on the balcony of a remote French chateau.

Stay tuned for the latest.
