New semi-naked pics of Kate Middleton published in Danish magazine

Shocking new photos of a semi-naked Duchess Kate on holiday have emerged.

The images, taken during her recent private break in France with hubby Prince William, were published in Danish gossip magazine Se Og Hor, the Mirror reported.

The pictures show the 30-year-old sunbathing on a balcony at the couple’s chateau lovenest.

Kate is topless in some and in others has a towel wrapped round her shoulders as she tries to put on a pair of bikini bottoms.

Scanned images of the Danish magazine’s photos have also begun to appear online.

Se Og Hor (See and Hear) published 16 pages of the controversial photos last week and returned with more this week.

The magazine editor Kim Henningsen said the magazine had been offered 240 pictures in total.

He said he wanted to show Denmark’s entertainment fans “what these photos are all about.

Henningsen declined to say who sold them to the weekly or how much money they paid.
