Kate and her six month-old son disembarked a commercial flight in St Vincent on route to the paradise island of Mustique.
Although the Duchess had to leave her husband, Prince William, at home to continue with his studies at Cambridge University, it was still very much a family occasion.
she was joined on the flight
out by her brother, James, 26 (as well as at least two Scotland Yard bodyguards) she
was met out in the Caribbean by her parents, Michael and Carole, and sister
Pippa.

Kate jetted out to the exclusive private island, which was made famous by the Queen’s late sister, Prince Margaret, who once had a holiday home there, two weeks ago. There was no sign of her part-time nanny, Jessie Webb.
As Kate carefully walked down the stairs onto the landing strip she looked effortlessly casual in a Tori Breton-style top by Ralph Lauren, her favourite J Brand skinny jeans and taupe Mint Velvet canvas pumps. She quickly pushed a pair of designer sunglasses over her eyes to combat the glare of the sun.

The family have taken an annual holiday on the island for several years now and this year¿s trip was designed to coincide with Carole Middleton’s 59th birthday.
Ugh Prince George is such a healthy baby! See more photos after the cut…
This year the Middletons again hired Rocina, a stunning £14,000-a-week beach front villa designed and built in 1971 by Oliver Messel and Arne Hasselqvist in the style of a Caribbean plantation.
The four-bedroom villa, which was completely updated in 2009, boasts its own 30 foot pool as well as stunning views over Endeavour Bay. Indeed guests can snorkel in the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea just in front of the house.
Each bedroom has its own en-suite bath and dressing rooms (two of them also have outdoor showers) and the property has an air-conditioned gym for guests who can tear themselves away from the sun and sand. Nearby is a tennis club, equestrian centre and spa.
The exquisite white-washed house also offers visitors three different dining areas including an open veranda with breath-taking views out over the water and a ‘dining gazebo’.
Four members of staff – a chef, a butler, a housekeeper and gardener – were on hand throughout the family’s stay to tend to their every whim.
The Duchess and her son remained on the island for a week – just enough time to get some colour in their cheeks – before flying back to the UK the Sunday before last to be reunited with doting dad William.
