Reported on Sept. 19, the Swedish magazine Se & Hoer became the fourth publication to publish Middleton's topless photos, hitting newsstands on Wednesday. The Associated Press added that their sister publication in Denmark will print 60 to70 of the photos  in a 16-page spread on Thursday.

Despite efforts by royals to stop the spread of the photos, the topless images have already been published in France, Italy, Ireland and across the web.

The Huffington Post reported that police stormed the headquarters of Closer magazine on Wednesday morning looking for information on the photographer who took the topless photos of Middleton. 

A separate criminal investigation has been opened to look into charges that Closer and the photographer of the topless photos breached invasion of privacy rights of Middleton and Prince Harry by publishing the photos. 

The images show Middleton, 30, topless while sunbathing on the terrace of a private house in France owned by the Queen's nephew Lord Linley.
