An Italian magazine has printed the photos of Kate Middleton’s baby bump in a bikini with husband, Prince William.

The magazine, Chi is the same one which printed the Duchess’s topless pictures last year, September.

At the moment, the royal couple are on holiday in the holiday island of Mustique.  The first picture shows Kate, clad in a bikini walking on the beach with her husband showing her bump which is obscured by shadows. The photos once again brought wrath from the  St James’s Palace. “We are disappointed that photographs of the Duke and Duchess on a private holiday look likely to be published overseas,” a royal spokeswoman said. “This is a clear breach of the couple’s right to privacy.”

It is not clear however if the royal family will take legal action against the magazine like they did last year. The Duchess is expected to make her second official public appearance since December’s pregnancy announcement on February 19th. She is due in July.
