THE High Court has banned the publication of photos from Pippa Middleton's iCloud account after she was the victim of a hacker.

The photographs included shots of her sister the Duchess of Cambridge’s children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The images also included Pippa at a wedding dress fitting and a nude pic of her fiance, James Matthews.

The personal phone numbers of Prince William and Kate Middleton were also said to be in the possession of data thieves.

The Duchess of Cambridge's sister took" while Scotland Yard has tasked specialist officers to the case.

PlayStation geek Nathan Wyatt, 35, was quizzed by officers on Sunday after he was arrested on Saturday night on suspicion of an offence under the Computer Misuse Act.

He has since been released on bail until a date in late November.

Exclusive pictures published by The Sun show him with a fag in his mouth playing video games in his living room surrounded by kids’ plastic toys with a baby at his feet.

The Northamptonshire home he shares with fiancée Kelly Howell and their kids was being searched by forensic teams this weekend.
Lawyers said the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister, 33, fears stolen images — including snaps of Prince William, Kate and their children could appear online.

Mrs Justice Whipple granted an injunction banning publication of 3,000 snaps after lawyers told of the impact.
She said there had been an “appalling intrusion” into Pippa’s private life and there was “good reason” to fear her entire iCloud account was accessed.
The Sun was offered pics for “a minimum of £50,000” but blew the whistle.
