CHURCH: Welcome back. Well, Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have one nail lawsuit against a French magazine over topless photos of Catherine published back in 2012. Our Melissa Bell has reaction now from the palace.</s>MELISSA BELL, INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, CNN: A statement from the palace says that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased with the settlement that's been awarded today and happy that the matter should be close. This is a trial that has dragged on now for five years. These pictures were taken back in 2012 very controversially and had been published here in France. None of the United Kingdom publications that had been offered these pictures had chosen to show them and so it is this particular magazine that's been singled out, in the end paying damages well below the million and a half euros south by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. But well above what French courts tend to give out to these sort of cases and crucially on the criminal side the penalty the fine that's been slapped on the publishers of this particular magazine is as hefty as French law would allow that it's EUR45,000. So, a strong signal really from the French judiciary that these sorts of publication these sorts of transgressions are what are very strict previously here in France will simply not be tolerated.
