Court ban over Pippa’s hacked iCloud pictures

PIPPA Middleton was yesterday granted a High Court order banning the publication of thousands of photographs stolen from her iCloud account.

Lawyers for the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister, pictured, said she had suffered ‘considerable distress’ after her account was hacked and 3,000 photographs were offered for sale to a newspaper.

The photos are believed to include pictures of Miss Middleton, 33, at a wedding dress fitting ahead of her forthcoming marriage to banker James Matthews, 41.

They could also include family photographs of her sister Kate and her children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The High Court heard that Miss Middleton’s iCloud account contained other private information which she feared could also have been taken by the hacker. That could include messages, emails and contact details for her family and friends, and for members of the Royal Family.

High Court judge Mrs Justice Whipple said Miss Middleton had suffered ‘an appalling intrusion’, and she granted an injunction banning the publication of any pictures or information hacked from the account.
