A man who was arrested by police investigating claims that Pippa Middleton’s iCloud account was hacked has been released on bail.

Three thousand photos are alleged to have been stolen from Middleton’s account, apparently including images of Middleton’s sister, the Duchess of Cambridge, and her children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

An unidentified individual contacted reporters at the Daily Mail and Sun last week on WhatsApp offering them access to the photos. The Sun said it had been asked for £50,000 in 48 hours.

The photos included images of Middleton at a wedding dress fitting and a nude picture of her fiance, James Matthews, the Sun reported.

A 35-year-old man was arrested in Northampton on Saturday night on suspicion of an offence under the Computer Misuse Act, and was questioned by officers from the Metropolitan police.

The man was released on bail on Sunday and has been ordered to return to a south London police station in November.
