STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -
Sweden's royal palace said it was considering taking legal action after faces of the
royal family were superimposed on to pornographic photographs on the Internet.
Palace spokeswoman Cecilia Wilmhardt said lawyers had been notified but as the pictures had been distributed over
the Internet from an American computer it might be difficult to take any action.
"We have had fake naked pictures of the royal family released before but not as serious as these; not in these
compromising positions," Wilmhardt told Reuters.
She said the images of King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Madeleine had now
been removed from the Internet site.
Two years ago, Sweden's press watchdog reprimanded celebrity magazine Se Och Hor for publishing composite
photos of Princess Victoria on bodies of models in swimsuits after the palace refused permission to photograph the
princess in a bathing suit.
