Kate Middleton, known for her active and athletic lifestyle and love for the outdoors, frequently chooses tropical destinations with her husband, Prince William, when they seek respite from royal obligations.
The affectionate couple has been captured in photographs during past vacations, reveling in various island paradises.
Island Babymoon
In February 2013, Kate and William managed to escape for a getaway to the island of Mustique.
At this time, Kate had completed her first trimester of pregnancy with Prince George, and she likely relished the opportunity to bask in the sun and find relief from the challenges of early pregnancy and morning sickness.
The duchess seemed to have chosen a turquoise and white watercolor bikini paired with white accessories, potentially including shell earrings and a bracelet.
Newlywed Bliss
Photographed during their honeymoon in the Seychelles in 2011, Kate and William exuded a sense of relaxation, eager for some downtime after their grand wedding spectacle, viewed by millions worldwide.
Kate chose to flaunt her impeccably toned figure in a black bandeau neck tie bikini adorned with gold embellishments. Later identified as the Seafolly Goddess Bikini Top from the brand’s 2009 collection, her choice showcased both style and sophistication.
Reign in Spain
Before the royal wedding, the duchess, along with her family and Prince William, was seen vacationing in Ibiza, sporting a vanilla bikini. Kate chose an ivory two-piece ensemble, mirroring her sister Pippa Middleton’s choice.
As the Middleton sisters posed for photos and indulged in diving off the side of their luxurious yacht, their striking resemblance highlighted their close relationship.
The family was captured laughing and sunbathing, soaking in the serene ambiance of the Spanish island nestled in the Mediterranean Sea.
Mama in Mustique
In February 2013, Kate donned a blue Vix Bia bikini while enjoying the sandy shores of Mustique. The expectant duchess delighted in splashing around in the water during a laid-back babymoon holiday.
The Cambridges were observed holding hands and sharing affectionate moments during leisurely strolls along the beach.
French Connection
Before starting a family, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge embarked on a French getaway to the Linleys’ chateau in Provence. In 2012, Kate sported a ruffled bandeau bikini for a sunbathing session on the terrace.
Flower Power
In August 2009, Prince William departed from London’s Gatwick airport to reunite with his soon-to-be bride on a family getaway in Mustique.
The year before, the couple had also savored a holiday on the secluded Caribbean island, and Kate had recently revisited this beach destination just a month earlier.
For their ocean excursion, Kate opted for a dark blue bikini adorned with a white print. Her striking halterneck bikini top boasted a large gold ring accent, adding a touch of elegance to her beach attire.
Bewitching Bikini
It’s widely believed that the blonde prince first saw his future wife when she graced the runway for a charitable cause.
The duchess donned a black bra and underwear set beneath a $40 Charlotte Todd see-through mesh dress, originally intended as a skirt, for a charity fashion event at St. Andrews University.
Reportedly, the prince splurged $275 for a front-row seat at the March 2002 ‘Don’t Walk’ charity fashion show. Remarkably, in 2011, the mesh slip fetched an astonishing $125,781 at auction.
