The editor of the French magazine, which had published topless photos of Kate, has been receiving death threats, it has been revealed. &ldquo;We have received more than 300 insulting e-mails of which several contain death threats,&rdquo; Closer said, adding that it had notified the police. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/kate1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 727px; " /> Full circle:u00a0In Spite of the scandal, Kate enjoyed her tour. Reaching the final destination Funafuti in Tavalu last week, she donned u00a0traditional headwear and sipped on coconut water from a tree planted by Queen Elizabeth II during her 1982 tour. u00a0Pic/AFP Fourteen of the most violent messages addressed to editor Laurence Pieau were handed over to the police. One vowed to &ldquo;never let her stay in peace.&rdquo; After their debut in the French weekly, the photos of the Duchess of Cambridge have appeared in magazines in Denmark and Sweden, Ireland&rsquo;s Daily Star and Italy&rsquo;s Chi, which like Closer is owned by former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi&rsquo;s Mondari media group. The pictures were taken when the royals were vacationing in southern France at a chateau owned by Viscount Linley, the son of Princess Margaret, the deceased sister of the Queen. After publication, Pieau defended them saying they were not in the &ldquo;least shocking&rdquo;. &ldquo;They show a young woman sunbathing topless, like the millions of women you see on beaches,&rdquo; she said. The royal family&rsquo;s lawyers have obtained a civil injunction and sought criminal charges in Paris, including against the unidentified photographer, in a bid to curb the spread of the pictures. French legal authorities have banned Closer from any further distribution of the pictures and began a criminal probe into how they were obtained. The court also ordered the magazine to hand over the files with the images to the royal couple, which the publication has done. Closer has said it does not own the images and simply bought them for exclusive first use, so it likely does not possess all the original files. It has refused to say from whom it bought them or who is the photographer. u00a0 One in five British adults has seen topless photos One in five adults in Britain has viewed the topless pictures of Kate Middleton sunbathing, a survey has claimed. Some 20 per cent have seen the images online while another one per cent viewed them in foreign magazines, the YouGov poll of 1,600 people found. Nearly three in four of those polled believe the Royal Family&rsquo;s decision to pursue legal action is correct, while 61 per cent believe the paparazzo should be prosecuted.u00a0
