The hacker claimed to possess private pictures of Prince William and Kate Middleton as well as their children, private pictures of Pippa Middleton and even a nude of her fiancé.

Nathan Wyatt, 35, was arrested after it emerged a cyber criminal had demanded £50,000 for thousands of images stolen from her iCloud account.
British cops have charged a 35-year-old man with hacking the iCloud account of Pippa Middleton-complete with some 3,000 images-then promptly trying to sell its contents to two United Kingdom tabloids for about $65,000, reports the BBC.
In July it was announced that Middleton would marry her financier boyfriend, James Matthews in a society wedding in 2017, with William and Kate saying they were a “wonderful couple”.
Met Police officers arrested Nathan at the home he shares with his fiancee on Saturday night.
The seller added: “This is obviously a vast source of info and pictures that I neither want nor intend to keep in my possession very long”.
Neighbours said cops took pictures around the property as they took Wyatt into custody.
Police searched the address thoroughly and also examined his auto.
The Metropolitan Police says the man is being questioned in London.
He has been ordered to return to a south London police station on a date late in November and police will continue their inquiries meanwhile.
“On Saturday evening, a 35-year-old man was arrested at an address in Northamptonshire”.

Detectives received a report on Friday regarding the alleged hacking of a personal iCloud account, police said, without naming Middleton as the victim.
