For many royal watchers, the scandal has reopened old wounds. In 2012, Catherine was the victim of a major privacy breach when long-lens photographs of her sunbathing topless on private property in France were published without her consent. The Prince and Princess of Wales later won their legal case and were awarded €100,000 in damages.
More recently, the couple also secured a legal victory against Paris Match after private images of a family ski holiday—including photos of their children—were published.
As the AI scandal continues to unfold, calls are growing louder for tighter controls, tougher enforcement, and urgent action—before the technology spirals even further out of control.
