Topless Kate pictures: Duke and duchess sue French magazine Closer

The Sun - the only British newspaper to publish recent pictures of Prince Harry naked - said it had no intention of publishing the images.
"The circumstances are very different to those relating to the photos of Prince Harry in Las Vegas. As we said at the time, he was at a party in a hotel suite with a large group of strangers and one of those present released a photograph into the public domain," said the Sun's editor Dominic Mohan.

How far does one need to hide from camera lenses to gain a right to privacy? Should one need to hide at all?
