Surely it's not the sunbathing/toplessness that's a problem - it's people (not just royalty) being photographed without their knowledge - like the fuss that went on about Google Streets, until the complaint system was put in place. Also, it's particularly shocking in France, where (I'm told) privacy laws are even stricter than in the UK

Yes, it's the intrusion that's the issue.
