Royal baby takes a winter break with Kate

THE Duchess of Cambridge has been snapped on holiday on the Caribbean island of Mustique with her six-month-old son, Prince George.

THE Duchess of Cambridge has been pictured taking her baby son Prince George on a Caribbean holiday.

Kate left a cold and wet England behind last week and jetted off to the exclusive island of Mustique to join her family, the Middletons.

The Duchess and six-month-old baby George were photographed leaving a British Airways plane, thought to have landed on the island of St Vincent.

In the pictures printed by Hello! magazine Kate looked relaxed as she carried her son, who wore a white romper suit and a sun hat.

George may find himself on another long-haul flight in a few months as the Cambridges are making an official visit to Australia and New Zealand in April.

It has not been confirmed that the royal baby will join his parents but it is highly likely.

Kate was accompanied on her trip to Mustique by her younger brother James and the pair were pictured walking down the steps of the plane and across the tarmac.

William remained behind in England where he is almost half way through a 10-week agricultural course being taught at Cambridge University.
