The Princess of Wales is rarely photographed on holiday. Whether protected by a privacy pact with the press or simply given space to be a normal mum by fellow vacationers, it’s not clear.
One thing that safeguards the Wales family privacy is the fact that the family often retreats to very hidden and remote vacation spots. Rumored to have visited Tresco Island last month for a summer getaway, the family enjoys secluded and secretive holidays regularly without press intrusion or public interference.
Many people are intrigued by Kate’s ‘off-duty’ casual travel looks, vacation styles and resort wear. Let’s take a look at a few of her airport and beach fashion moments.
January 2012
The princess was spotted leaving the island of Mustique with her family wearing a contrast trim jacket by Milly. The Gabrielle jacket is rendered in black wool with ivory trim and oversized buttons. Kate paired the lady jacket with her Warehouse lace kimono top. She also wore her Imperia black wedges and carried her medium Le Pliage Longchamp tote in black for the family holiday.

Kate and her family arrived in Mustique for a private escape with the Middleton family. The princess was pictured carrying her newborn son George off the plane.

Kate’s brother was also spotted carrying her beloved Tusting duffle bag — the Olive Explorer Holdall.

Prince William carried a Joules overnight bag in bluposy on return from a family trip to Mustique. The holdall duffle has a large spacious interior and is designed from a durable quilted canvas. Featuring a pretty floral print, the bag works effortlessly as a travel tote.

While meandering near the shore, Kate was also spotted carrying her Anya Hindmarch “I’m not a plastic bag” canvas rope handled tote. (She also owns various Hindmarch pearl satin clutches).
