Pippa Middleton’s iCloud Hacked, Photos Stolen, Including Kate Middleton And Children’s Pics
Pippa Middleton’s iCloud account has been hacked, and photos including images of sister Kate Middleton and her children, and some private photos, described as nudes, are now being offered by an unknown individual for sale. In total, 3,000 photos have been stolen and are being offered by someone using the pseudonym “Crafty Cockney.”
Princess Kate and Prince William have just landed in Canada for a week with Prince George and Princess Charlotte for a family tour according to the Inquisitr. The family is starting out in Victoria British Columbia and will travel to the Yukon Territory. No doubt thousands of photos will be taken of Princess Kate, Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte in Canada, but the looming threat of private family photos surfacing must be on the royal minds.
Pippa Middleton reportedly had thousands of images stored in her iCloud account, including private family photos of Duchess Catherine and her family, Pippa Middleton in her wedding dress having a fitting, and Pippa Middleton’s fiance James Matthews nude, says CNN. Britain’s Sun and Daily Mail claim they have been offered the photos for sale, and the seller “Crafty Cockney” is asking a minimum of $65k for them.
“This isnt (sic) an auction it will be a simple process of the highest bid.”

The Daily Mail says that Pippa Middleton is at the center of this current royal photo hack, and it is being investigated by Scotland Yard. In addition to photos of Pippa Middleton getting her wedding dress fitted, there are also pictures of Middleton touring her wedding venue with her mother, Carole Middleton. The bulk of the photos are said to be of Pippa Middleton and her friends partying.
The seller, using the names “Crafty Cockney” or “Mas” is saying that they want to sell the photos in the UK and in the U.S.
“Due to current climate on privacy laws in the UK I’m intending a quick US sale but would at least give you a heads-up.”
Initially, there were questions as to the authenticity of the photos, but a source close to Pippa Middleton is confirming that the stolen images are hers.
“Miss Middleton’s lawyers have been informed and, in due course, the police will too.”
The hackers are communicating with journalists via the encrypted messenger service Whatsapp.

The Guardian confirms that so far, no arrests have been made in the case of the hacking of Pippa Middleton’s iCloud account. Specialists at Scotland Yard are said to be on the case since the crime was confirmed yesterday. A spokesman for the Middletons put out a statement in reference to the hacking on Friday night.
“Thank you very much for drawing this to the family’s attention. I can confirm that not only have the lawyers been informed but the police are about to be involved as well.”
It is being said that the only nude photos are of Pippa Middleton’s fiance, James Matthews. Matthews is the chief executive of Eden Rock Capital Management Group and the older brother of Spencer Matthews of the show Made in Chelsea. The wedding of Matthews and Pippa Middleton will take place at some point in 2017.
On a lighter note, it is being said that Pippa Middleton wanted to hire Britain’s top singer, Adele to perform at her wedding says Us Weekly. But sources say that Pippa had no idea of how expensive it would be just to have Adele, or any Grammy-calibre act perform at a wedding. $1 million dollars seems to be the opening fee, and it sounds that it is outside of Pippa’s budget.
Do you think that Scotland Yard will track down the hackers?
