Duchess Kate humiliated after French mag posts topless pix

While the British royal family is still reeling from the naked Prince Harry scandal, a French magazine has now published snaps claiming to show the Duchess of Cambridge topless.

The future Queen is facing embarrassment after the revealing pictures of her and hubby Prince William enjoying a private sunshine holiday this month were printed.

The royal couple thought they would not be photographed as they stayed at the magnificent Chateau D'Autet in Provence,

owned by a nephew of the Queen.

But France's Closer mag obtained images of the pair, now in Malaysia as part of the Diamond Jubilee tour, by the swimming pool -- including snaps of Kate, 30, half naked, the Mirror reported.

"We have to say that after Closer magazine comes out, Harry is going to feel a lot less alone," Closer France editor Laurence Pieau said.
