A Danish magazine on Thursday became the latest to run pictures of Prince William's wife Catherine topless, despite moves by furious British royals to stop the spread of the photos.

Grainy pictures of the former Kate Middleton taking off and putting on her bikini bottoms featured in the special supplement of Se og Hoer hit the newsstands on Thursday.

In 14 of the 36 photos published, the wife of Britain's second in line to the throne is shown sunbathing topless, like she has been previously in publications in France, Ireland, Italy and Sweden.

The pictures, which have infuriated the British royal family and revived a debate on press intrusion, were first published by the French magazine Closer last week.

Ireland's Daily Star and Italy's Chi magazine swiftly followed suit and the images have been widely circulated on the Internet.

"This is nothing unusual, these are quite nice pictures if you compare them with other celebrity pictures that we publish all the time," Carina Loefkvist, chief editor of Se og Hoer, told AFP.

The publication in Sweden did not make headlines, with only two tabloids mentioning it and the rest of the media ignoring it.

Loefkvist had no figures for the number of copies Se og Hoer sold on Wednesday.

"It's been a bit of a topic of conversation ... but it's nothing special," she said.

The magazine had a regular weekly circulation of 105,600 in 2011.

Neither the Swedish nor the Danish magazine were going to make the pictures available online.

Loefkvist said her magazine bought the pictures "from photographers and photo agencies, the way we always do" and "before everything erupted".

The royal family's lawyers have obtained a civil injunction and sought criminal charges in Paris in a bid to curb the spread of the pictures.
