The Danish weekly Se og Hoer has said it plans to publish photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing topless in its Thursday edition.
Editor-in-chief Kim Henningsen said the pictures of Prince William's wife Catherine will appear in a special supplement, to show Denmark "what these photos are all about."
The pictures have so far been published in France, Italy, and Ireland.
St James's Palace said "proportionate responses were under review".
News of the Danish magazine's decision emerged as Prince William and his wife returned to the UK from a nine-day Diamond Jubilee tour of south-east Asia and the South Pacific.
On Tuesday, a Paris court banned future publication of the photos in France, ordering French magazine Closer to hand over the originals.
'Particularly intrusive'The photographs were taken while the duchess was sunbathing on a private holiday with her husband at the French chateau of the Queen's nephew, Lord Linley, in Provence, earlier this month.
The French court might have stopped Closer from publishing the topless pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge in France - but that didn't stop them surfacing again in Denmark.
That's because it's the photographer who owns copyright of their photos, unless they are employed by a company which has asked them to take the photo, or there's an agreement to assign the copyright to someone else.
So it's the copyright owner who grants permission for the photograph to be used.
Payment to use the photograph does not constitute transfer of ownership of the copyright, but merely permits an agreed use.
If the photographer hasn't granted an exclusive licence to a particular company or organisation, they are within their rights to licence their work to others.
No British newspaper has printed the pictures.
A statement on the Danish publication's website on Wednesday said: "Se og Hoer has exclusively (in Denmark) obtained the pictures of the topless Duchess of Cambridge, Kate.
"Tomorrow we will publish a 16-page spread full of piquant photos of England's future queen."
A St James's Palace spokesperson said: "As we've said, we will not be commenting on potential legal action concerning the alleged intended publication of the photos save to say that all proportionate responses will be kept under review."
The sunbathing pictures ran in Closer on Friday before appearing elsewhere.
Its editor Laurence Pieau defended the publication, insisting the photos were not in the least bit shocking, and suggested that she has more intimate photos not yet published.
But in its ruling on Tuesday, a French court described the pictures as a "brutal display" of the couple's private lives.
It added: "These snapshots which showed the intimacy of a couple, partially naked on the terrace of a private home, surrounded by a park several hundred metres from a public road, and being able to legitimately assume that they are protected from passers-by, are by nature particularly intrusive."
Royal officials said its decision was welcomed by the duke and duchess, who had "always believed the law had been broken" and they were entitled to their privacy.
Following the ruling in the civil case, prosecutors are considering whether there are grounds for criminal charges.
Elsewhere, the editor of the Irish Daily Star, Michael O'Kane, has been suspended after publishing the topless photographs on Saturday.
And the Italian gossip magazine Chi also printed a special edition featuring more than 20 pages of the photographs.
Chi's editor Alfonso Signorini said: "The fact that these are the future rulers of England makes the article more interesting and topical."
Closer and Chi are both part of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's Mondadori media group.
