The search to identify the photographer who shamelessly took photos of Kate Middleton has begun.

When French publication, Closer Magazine, released shocking topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge last month, the whole world broke in curiosity and uproar. Mixed reactions have been said, all boiling down to the action being unjust, horrendous and a huge breach of privacy.

It is reported that Parisian specialist officers has started the search on Friday. After the photos were published, the Duke and Duchess sought the French courts criminalization of the photographer. If caught, the photographer will face the consequences of humiliating the future queen of England.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were vacationing in a South of France Chateau owned by William's uncle, sunbathing nude on the balcony when the paparazzi sent by Closer Magazine attacked. It was said that the magazine sent the photographer on a special assignment to crow over the clueless royal couple during their downtime.

In a past report, French photographer, Pascal Rostain, revealed details about the photographer's identity. Rostain claims the photographer is an Englishman living in the South of France near the Chateau.

"The irony of this whole thing is that the photographer who took these pictures is an Englishman living in the south of France. These photos were taken on the orders of Closer, who asked him to sit around for several days to take them." stated Rostain.
