14) Kate Middleton vs. Closer Magazine
Trending
In 2012, a French magazine called Closer published topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge. The photos were taken without her consent when she was sunbathing at a private villa. The royal family sued the magazine. In September 2017, the case was settled, with a judge ordering Closer to pay approximately $119,000. Furthermore, the magazine's editor and owner were each fined about $53,000 for their role in the privacy breach. This ruling brought home the point that everyone's privacy rights must be protected, even public figures.
