She briefly became the subject rather than the reader of news stories in August 2001, when she lost a high profile court case. She claimed unsuccessfully that photographs of her in a bikini taken by a press photographer in Majorca with a powerful zoom lens and published in the British media constituted an invasion of her privacy.
