Spread Pictures

Prince William and his gorgeous bride Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, seemed a little overdressed for the soccer field ... then again, they ARE royalty.

The stunning couple hit the field in London for the opening of the football Association's National Football Centre at St. George's Park. Lucky England football team!

Kate looked beyond elegant in an olive green belted Reiss coat and black knee-high boots. We have a feeling that coat will be sold out in no time ... if it hasn't already. Yep, it's all about the "The Duchess Effect."

Seems as though the nude photo scandal is behind them. Whew! Next stop for the royals ... Newcastle. Onward and upward!

Prince William and Kate Middleton were victorious over French magazine Closer, the publication that printed photos of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing topless.

In court this morning, a judge ruled that the magazine cannot continue to print or sell the "highly intimate" photos. The ruling also stated that the topless pics must be removed from the website, the photos cannot be published in any other magazine or newspapers in France, cannot be sold anywhere in the world and the photos must be handed over to the Palace by tomorrow.

A lawyer for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said the following regarding Middleton: "She's a young woman, not an object."

If Closer publishes any of the photos again, it faces fines of $13,000 for every day they’re available, and a fine of $130,000 if it sells them, according to Sky News.

Despite the threat of legal action, Italian gossip magazine Chi published a 26-page spread featuring a topless Kate Middleton.

Chi's editor Alfonso Signorini told The Associated Press that the photos were already in the public domain after Closer published them, and for that reason, he doesn't fear legal action.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have taken legal action against the magazine that published topless photos of the Duchess last week.

"We can confirm that a criminal complaint has been made to the French Prosecution Department today," a spokesperson for Clarence House said on Monday. "The complaint concerns the taking of photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge whilst on holiday and the publication of those photographs in breach of their privacy."

Attorneys for the royal couple "will appear in court today in Paris seeking an injunction against Closer magazine using more pictures and to prevent further publication of the photographs in France. It will lead to a longer court case where damages will be sought."

According to People, the lawyers will request that the issue be taken off newsstands and that the photos be removed from the publication's website. They are also demanding that further reprints be prohibited, and they will ask the judge to ban further sales. A decision on issuing the injunction is expected to be announced on Tuesday.

Kate Middleton has found herself in the middle of a photo scandal in which the Duchess of Cambridge is seen sunbathing topless.

French magazine Closer published the nude photos of Middleton who was, at the time, vacationing with her husband Prince William.

The royal couple's press secretary released the following statement:

"We believe a real line has been crossed and we are consulting with French lawyers about what, if any, legal action will be taken ... Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them."

Kate, herself, is said to be "saddened" and "disappointed."

The editor of Closer magazine defends her reasoning for publishing the photos in the video below.

Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the London premiere of War Horse last night, and the duo looked absolutely divine as they posed for pictures on the red carpet.

While Duchess Kate smiled for the cameras and chatted with fans before heading in to the theater, director Steven Spielberg revealed that his wife, actress Kate Capshaw, was passing tissues to her at one point during the film! Spielberg told BBC he noticed Kate wiping her eyes, "but I didn't want to intrude on her experience of watching War Horse so I never glanced over."

The royal couple later hosted a reception at the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace, and they raised several hundred thousand dollars for the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry.

In other royal news, Kate celebrates her 30th birthday today, so it looks like she'll have another opportunity to get all glammed up tonight! Wonder what Wills is going to do for his lady love for her big 3-0?

Kate Middleton famously did her own makeup for her royal wedding, and designer Vivienne Westwood is unimpressed!

Says Viv, 70, in a new interview with the UK's Sunday Times Magazine:

"I think she's got a problem with eye make-up! ... The sharp line around her eyes make her look hard. Either she should be smudgy or wear none."

The designer also dissed Kate's general style. She said:

"It seems to me that her image is 'ordinary woman.' ... I just think she should be an extraordinary woman ..."

Well, 40 years in the fashion industry has certainly given Viv the right to speak her mind, at least. Do you agree with her assessment of Kate?

Vanity Fair has released a sneak peek of its 72nd annual International Best Dressed List.

Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer and Colin Firth are named for the first time.

Carey Mulligan and Tilda Swinton are on the women's, both for the second time. And, perhaps surprisingly ... Lady Gaga! Most Interesting dressed, yes, -- "best" ... we're not sure ... meat dress, anyone?!

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, wife of French pres Nicolas Sarkozy, made the list for the fourth time, though her hubby did not.

But, both of America's first couple made it! President Obama and Michelle make their first appearance together on the Best-Dressed Couples list. Michelle has been on the list on her own for the past four years.

And, not surprisingly, Kate Middleton got a spot, too! VF honored her for "her signature mix of high and low fashion."

Kate stunned at her wedding, but she's also made headlines for recycling looks and dressing down, but remaining elegant, in her ordinary life (her and Will shop for their own groceries.)

See the full sneak peek after the jump! Do you think Gaga deserved a spot?

Oh no they didn't? Newsweek's latest issue features a photo of Kate Middleton and a super-imposed and digitally-aged image of Princess Diana ... who would have turned 50 this Friday.

The LA Times is referring to the photo and story as "Shocking, brilliant or just plain cheap?"

Aside from the controversial cover, the accompanying article talks about Diana's would-be Facebook page, how she'd probably be a big fan of shows like The Real Housewives of New York ... and that she'd be hanging with Hollywood royalty like David and Victoria Beckham.

Ironically, the Newsweek issue hits stands the same week that William and Kate are visiting North America. Coincidence? We think not.
