Will the Italian media group Mondadori lose their shirts for publishing photos of Kate Middleton without hers on?

It certainly looks that way, with the Royal Family seeking damages from Mondadori, which is owned by former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi.

Lawyers for the Royals are also going to court in France to try to stop further publication in that country of the now-infamous topless photos of Kate.

Meanwhile, YouPorn.com — a site that usually doesn’t need publicity — has generated some by offering an “open checkbook” to procure the snaps.

It might just be me, but it’s hard to find any sympathy for Middleton. When you know you are going to become the next Queen of England, it’s time to put your topless sunbathing days behind you. Seems like a fair swap, right?
