Man held for stealing 'intimate'
pics of Prince Wills and Kate
London:
A man has been held after trying to sell intimate
stolen photos of Prince William and his girlfriend
Kate Middleton to a London newspaper. The photos of
the couple on holiday in the Caribbean island of Mustique
were offered to The Sun newspaper following the theft
of a camera believed to belong to Middleton's younger
sister Pippa, the paper said. The snaps, described
as some of the most personal and intimate pictures
ever taken of the couple, were offered to the paper
for 50,000 pounds. More than 40 frames of the future
King and his love were held on the digital device.
In the photos, the 26-year-old royal is seen relaxing
with Middleton and members of her family, including
Pippa, brother James, and parents Carole and Michael.
Several photos showed Middleton posing for the camera
in her bikini as she enjoyed a yoga-style session
on the beach, it said. In another sequence, the Prince
was seen wearing a woman's hat and striking a camp
pose like '70s sitcom star John Inman. Another photo
showed the couple gazing at each other as they took
a dip together in a pool - while a number of snaps
showed them cuddling. The newspaper was contacted
on Aug 29 by two men, who used the names John and
George and met a reporter in a bid to find out what
the snaps were worth. The men, who were secretly photographed
by the newspaper, told the reporter they had found
the flashcard in a gutter in northwest London. They
tried to sell the photos to the Sun but the paper
handed over all its information to the police and
a 25-year-old man was arrested by Scotland Yard detectives
in a dawn raid on a house in west London on Aug 31.
The unnamed man was freed on bail after being questioned
for 10 hours, and police were continuing their search
for the second man. A Royal source confirmed William
had been kept informed. "William was very concerned
to hear that private pictures of him and the Middleton
family had been stolen," the Sun quoted the source
added. "When the suspect's house was raided they were
accompanied by Royal protection officers," the source
added.
