Prince William is reportedly thinking to take legal action after photos of his recent secret vacation with Kate Middleton and their kids were leaked.

According to In Touch Weekly, the Prince of Wales was creeped out over the fact that he and his family were being followed and photographed without their consent.

French media was able to click photos of the couple and their three kids after they jetted off to Courchevel, France, for a holiday break and also stopped at Paris to enjoy a Aston Villa match.

“They were under the expectation of having privacy and just trying to take a break, this was totally unacceptable,” the source told the publication.

The insider added that Prince William’s “temper is really boiling over this one, so no one will be all that surprised if he does take action.”

The source further noted how William, as well as his brother, Prince Harry, have resisted media’s attempt to invade their private lives.

The source shared that the Royals have “been standing up for themselves in this area for many years.

“William understands the interest in him, and he often obliges, but that doesn’t mean he has no rights to privacy,” they added.

“He was out with his family and he’s very protective of his kids and his wife. It really creeps them out to be followed and photographed like that and, of course, when William sees them upset that sets him off.”

This would not be the first time if William decides to sue a publication over privacy breach as he has done so previously when he took a legal action against French publication Closer for releasing Kate Middleton’s compromising photos.

“They’re still quite traumatized from that time the French magazine published those topless pics of Kate on holiday,” the tipster shared. “The scars from that run deep.” 

“They won that case against them for invasion of privacy,” the publication stated, adding that William may "very well pursue that again.”
