The Sun smashes Kate & Wills Stolen Photo Scam
A man has been arrested 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 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, it said.
More than 40 frames of the future king and his girlfriend, both 26, were held on the stolen camera’s flashcard, the paper said.
Several photos showed Kate posing for the camera in her bikini as she enjoyed a yoga-style session on the beach, it said.
Others showed the prince wearing a woman’s hat and striking a camp pose like Are You Being Served star John Inman.
Another picture showed Kate and William gazing at each other as they took a dip together in a pool, while others showed them cuddling.
A royal source said: “William was very concerned to hear that private pictures of him and the Middleton family had been stolen. When the suspects’ house was raided they were accompanied by royal protection officers.” (via Sydney Morning Herald)

I doubt such pictures exist. They surely would have been leaked by now.
Assuming it is true–
1. Stolen camera? Isn’t it a bit obvious to steal the entire camera? Why didn’t they just copy the chip? Idiots…
2. Pippa should be more careful about where she leaves her camera. You know how many purses and cell phones get stolen regularly? Be careful people
