It's certainly one of those topics which unite or divide! Having seen the photos (yes, like zillions of others I Googled them!) I can confirm they're really nothing to get worked up about, the real aspect is that the photographer could get a clear line of sight, even with a telephoto lens, to get those shots. Someone with a high powered rifle would also have had a clear shot. Sloppy security, really sloppy. Doesn't matter if it's aristos, pop stars, politicians or other 'high profile' bods, it could all have been far worse.
I can see why legal action had to be instigated but, not only the French and Irish press, now the Italian and Danish press have published or are planning to publish and I daresay plenty of other countries will be happy to do the same, just to stir the pot! If it had been treated as a storm in a teacup, or even a (lack of a) 'B' Cup, it wouldn't be making such an impact. Having said that, it's the media who are keeping the matter in the public eye, Sky News the other day had virtually no other stories to broadcast!
