Despite the success of the Australian tour of the Dukes of Cambridge, the trip to the antipodes of William, Catherine and their eldest son has left a snapshot that the couple will not like: The magazine has just published a photograph in which The wind lifts the duchess's skirt to reveal her buttocks.
The photograph had been circulating for days in the newsrooms in search of the highest bidder. The image was captured on April 17, when the princes arrived in the Australian Blue Mountains by helicopter.
The wind from the airfield lifted the skirt of the Catalina dress (one of designer Diane von Fustenberg's famous draped styles) until her buttocks were visible. The Duchess had already seen on other occasions how the wind played a trick on her with her wardrobe -in fact, it seems that Queen Elizabeth II had asked that the length of her models be lowered in her wardrobe for this trip-, but not until this spot.
After the "fierce bidding war", in the words of the Daily Express, it was the Bunte magazine that Monday published the indiscreet photograph, which according to the British newspaper "violates their privacy".
Perhaps to protect itself from criticism, the German publication - which also speculates on whether the Duchess was wearing a thong or not wearing underwear - explains the origin of the photograph as follows: "Amateur photographer Diane Morel discovered the surprising 'technical failure' at home, after a careful look at the photographs [taken at the airfield]. His first idea was to show the Duchess [the image]. But then, according to the photo agency, he decided to donate the proceeds to the victims of the Australian fires of the last year".
"Poor Kate. Even though for once it's her butt that everyone is talking about and not her sister Pippa's, it would be embarrassing for this photo to be published," a source told Daily Star magazine a few days ago. days.
The truth is that this is not the first time that an indiscreet target has taken some compromising photographs of the duchess. It already happened two years ago, when she was caught topless while she was on vacation with her husband in France. Then, the couple managed to stop the dissemination of the photographs.
