Images of Pippa Middleton 'stolen in iCloud hack'

Photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge and her children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are among 3,000 images reportedly stolen from Pippa Middleton by computer hackers.

The images, which are said to have been taken from an Apple iCloud storage account belonging to Kate Middleton’s sister, were offered to reporters by an anonymous seller on WhatsApp, The Daily Mail reports.

According to the publication, the images include some of the royal children as well as wedding dress snaps and party pics, with the seller pitching to sell them in the US due to UK privacy laws.

The alleged theft comes two years after a large group of celebrities fell victim to an iCloud hacker. Some of those stolen images were also posted online.

In July it was announced that Pippa Middleton, 33, was engaged to financier James Matthews.

Pippa began dating James at the end of 2015 but knew almost instantly that he was the one for her because they share the same love for sports and the outdoors.

She explained to The Daily Mail: "I think James and I have the same spirit. We are both competitive. We have had many adventures together. We have a lot in common and that helps. I don't think it would work with a couch potato. I think we do exhaust most people."
