Although the pictures have already been seen millions of times over across the world, a French court has issued an injunction against the magazine Closer, stopping any further use of the photos of a topless Kate Middleton.
A French court has ordered Closer to hand over the photos to the Royal couple.
The court said the magazine would be fined $13,000 every time it republished or distributed the offending images.
An Italian magazine ran yesterday with a 26-page spread of the images. The Irish Daily Star also ran the pictures on the weekend.
