Prince William and Princess Kate Say They "Will Not Hesitate" to Protect George, Charlotte and Louis Against "Undue Scrutiny" in New Statement

Prince William and Princess Kate are taking a stand against media intrusion—and on Thursday, October 30, the couple announced that they've "been successful" in their lawsuit against one publication. The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, were on a family skiing vacation in April when paparazzi photos of them on the slopes and at their villa were published in the publication Paris Match. In a strongly worded statement, William and Kate acknowledged that they "will not hesitate" to take legal action if similar photos are taken again.

In a statement Thursday, Kensington Palace said, "Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales, have been successful in legal proceedings brought in France against the owner of Paris Match, which published a grossly intrusive article and long-lens paparazzi photographs of their private family holiday in the Alps in April."
