Full Story:

Prince William played soccer with some children of Solomon Islands on Monday, while he and Catherine continued their tour of Asia and the Pacific.

The two arrived after exploring Borneo over the weekend, travelling amidst a row over topless photos take of Kate Middleton, published by French magazine Closer. Lawyers for the royal family announced they plan to sue the photographer who took the snaps of the couple sunbathing in a private villa in Provence, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are seeking an injunction against Closer.

Despite this, Italian magazine Chi today published more photos from that set.

Max Clifford, a British publicity guru, said that the royal family is right to go to court.

[Max Clifford, Publicist]:
"If they let it die down people would think 'Well, we can get away with this' and maybe other people will be tempted. At least the official message is coming out from the royal family, from William and from Kate: 'We are not happy about this. This is not right, please give us and allow us a little bit of a private life.' So for that reason alone I think they are doing the right thing."

The controversy did not make the couple camera-shy. William posed for photographs in Honaira, capital of the islands, and the two met locals on the island of Mauru. They would then head to Tavanipupu, where they received a cultural welcome which included traditional topless dancers.
