LONDON — A British judge on Wednesday banned the publication of stolen photographs of Pippa Middleton after allegations that 3,000 personal images were taken in a hacking attack on her iCloud account. High Court justice Philippa Whipple made the order after Middleton, sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, and her fiance James Matthews went to court against the “person or persons unknown” who are responsible for the hack. The Sun newspaper said Saturday it was contacted by a purported hacker seeking at least 50,000 pounds ($86,000) for the photos. RelatedThe Sun said the hacker also claimed to possess Middleton’s informal images of sister Kate with her children, Princess Charlotte and Prince George, and naked images of Matthews. Kate, her husband Prince William, and their children are currently visiting western Canada.
