Britain's Sun and Daily Mail newspapers reported that an anonymous seller contacted them and offered to sell the images for $65,000.

The hacker, who identified himself as “Crafty Cockney,” emailed two photos of Pippa and her fiancé, James Matthews, to the Sun to prove the authenticity of the photos. Pippa and Matthews got engaged in July and are set marry in 2017.

"This isnt (sic) an auction it will be a simple process of the highest bid," the seller reportedly said.

According to reports, some of the photos show Pippa at a wedding-dress fitting, while other images include private photos of the Duchess of Cambridge and her children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
