Lawyers for Britain's royal family will go to court in France on Monday in a bid to stop further publication in that country of topless photos of William's wife Kate, the prince's office said Sunday.

威廉王子办公室上周日表示，英国王室的律师将于本周一向一家法国法院提起诉讼，以阻止法国杂志继续刊登凯特王妃的半裸照。
Copies of French magazine Closer showing pictures of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Britain's Prince William are displayed in a newspaper kiosk in Nice, September 14, 2012.

St. James's Palace says lawyers will seek an injunction（禁令，命令） against Italian media group Mondadori, which publishes France's Closer and Italy's Chi gossip magazines.
 
The palace also will seek damages from the publisher, which is owned by former Italian Premier1 Silvio Berlusconi. Last week Closer published paparazzi（狗仔队） snaps of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, sunbathing2 during a holiday at a relative's chateau3 in Provence. Chi says it will publish 26 pages of the images — taken with a long lens from hundreds of meters away — on Monday.
 
An Irish tabloid4 reproduced the Closer photos on Saturday, but no British publication has run them, and Britain's tabloids5 have lined up to denounce them as an invasion of the duchess' privacy.
 
The palace condemned6 publication of the images and said it was considering "all proportionate（成比例的） responses" against Chi, though no decision has been made on legal action against it or the Irish Daily Star.
 
The strong response stands in contrast to the reception of naked photos of Prince Harry7 partying in Las Vegas, which appeared online last month and were later published in Britain's Sun tabloid. The palace shrugged8 off the photos, snapped during a game of strip billiards9（台球）, and took no action against those who published them.
 
Some see British papers' reluctance10 to run the Kate photos as a sign the country's once-rambunctious tabloids have been cowed by a scandal over phone hacking11 and other wrongdoing, which brought public opprobrium12（耻辱，责骂） and an ongoing13 media-ethics inquiry14.
 
The storm over the photos erupted as William and Kate made an official tour of Singapore, Malaysia and the South Pacific. They arrived in the Solomon Islands on Sunday and will end their trip Tuesday in the island nation of Tuvalu.
