LONDON (AP) \u2014 The Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> have won a legal case against a French magazine that published photos of the couple and their children on a skiing holiday, the royals\u2019 office said Thursday.<\/p>\n

William<\/a> and Kate<\/a> took action against Paris Match after it ran photos in April of them and their children George, Charlotte and Louis on a break in the French Alps. They were shown on the slopes and relaxing on a chalet balcony.<\/p>\n

The latest edition of Paris Match includes a notice saying that a judge at the Nanterre Judicial Court had found that the images and an accompanying article \u201chad infringed the respect due to their private life and the rights the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children have on their image.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s Kensington Palace office said the magazine had published \u201ca grossly intrusive article and long-lens paparazzi photographs of their private family holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Prince and Princess of Wales are committed to protecting their private family time and ensuring that their children can grow up without undue scrutiny and interference,\u201d the palace said in a statement. \u201cThey will not hesitate to take such action as is necessary to enforce those boundaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

The British media has largely abided by an agreement to give George, 12, Charlotte, 10 and 7-year-old Louis privacy in return for occasional authorized images. A similar arrangement was in place for William and his brother Prince Harry<\/a> when they were younger.<\/p>\n
