According to AFP, the Ombudsman could decide to pass the issue to the Press Council's tribunal of sorts, and that newspapers found in violation of good journalistic practices can be made to publish the decision and get slapped with an administrative fine.
Se & Hör ran 11 photos of the couple vacationing in southern France, five of which featured the Duchess's bare chest. "They're really cute pictures of Kate," editor-in-chief Carina Löfkvist, told Expressen.se.
French, Italian and Irish media have also run the photos, which have created a huge fuss in Europe.
