The wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy has taken some of the spotlight off her husband's first state visit to Britain after it was revealed that a nude picture of her is to be auctioned next month.
Sarkozy's office has declined comment about the black and white photo of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, a former model, saying it's a private matter.

The picture, taken in 1993, is expected to fetch between $3,000 and $4,000 in an April 10 sale at New York's Rockefeller Plaza, according to Christie's auction house. It was taken by photographer Michel Comte.
News of the picture comes as Sarkozy arrived in the United Kingdom for the first state visit to Britain by a French president in 12 years.
Sarkozy was welcomed by Queen Elizabeth amid pomp and ceremony in front of Windsor castle.
Sarkozy is hoping the visit will help boost his image. He has drawn some criticism over his romance and marriage to Bruni-Sarkozy.
He will hold talks with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and address members of both houses of Parliament.
