French police is making arrangements to arrest the photographer, who is accused of taking topless photographs of Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, the media reported.

The Daily Mail newspaper said that the name of the photographer has been handed over to the detectives. The photographs were taken in September this year when the Duchess and her husband, Prince William were vacationing at Chateau d’ Autet, a retreat owned by Queen’s nephew, Viscount Linley.
Hundreds of images appeared in several newspapers worldwide which prompted Royal Palace to release a strongly worded news statement regarding the images. Middleton was photographed Topless.
It is learnt that the photographer, a freelancer was hired by the French Closer magazine to trail the couple and take pictures. The editor of the magazine, Laurence Pieau, refused to divulge the name of the photographer.
Under the French information and press freedom law journalists are protected from identification. A photographer named Valerie Suau, admitted trailing the Royal couple to capture some images, but has denied taking explicit pictures of the prince and the Duchess.
The prosecuting lawyer has said that the name of the photographer has been given to the police and the arrest is imminent.
