Prince William?s girlfriend Kate Middleton has been caught in the photography spotlight – on both sides of the lens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Middleton, a keen photographer, is set to win at least \u00a310,000 in an out-of-court settlement over alleged invasion of her privacy<\/a>, according to a report in yesterday?s Sunday Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The expected payout relates to pictures of Middleton<\/a> on a tennis court and at a family lunch in Cornwall last Christmas.<\/p>\n

A photographer – named by the newspaper as Niraj Tanna from an agency called Ikon Pictures – is said to have taken pictures of her playing tennis from a public footpath.<\/p>\n

A source close to the agency today told Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP): ‘They were pictures of her while she was on a communal tennis court, taken from a public footpath. <\/p>\n

‘She was posing for the camera in the sense that she knew the photographer was there ? she was playing up to the camera.?<\/p>\n

The Sunday Times<\/em> reported that other photographs show her family having Christmas lunch. <\/p>\n

However, the Ikon Pictures source today strongly denied that any such images were taken by its photographer. ?There were never any pictures of her having lunch.?<\/p>\n

AP understands that the photographer captured around 50 images using a Canon DSLR and 70-200mm zoom lens from an ?elevated? footpath that overlooks the tennis court.<\/p>\n

Only 12-15 of the pictures are believed to have been distributed to the media.<\/p>\n

We understand that the images were only made available for publication once the agency had satisfied itself that they would not breach UK press guidelines.<\/p>\n

The pictures were not published in the UK but one image appeared in a German newspaper. <\/p>\n

Middleton is reported to have pursued damages for invasion of privacy and is seeking an apology from the agency, through London-based law firm Harbottle & Lewis.<\/p>\n

No-one from Harbottle & Lewis was available for comment when contacted by AP this morning.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Middleton is reported to have been banned from pursuing a career as a photographer, according to the Daily Star<\/a> newspaper.<\/p>\n

The paper reports that Royal officials have persuaded Prince William that it would be ?inappropriate? for a future member of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

Photography careers are nothing new to the Royals. Both Lord Snowdon and the late Lord Lichfield carved out, and maintained, hugely successful careers as photographers.<\/p>\n
