Kate Middleton Spends Christmas in Barbados

They say Kate Middleton booked a trip with her family to Barbados so she’d have an excuse not to spend the Christmas holidays with the Royal family. Ouch.

Apparently its not the first time. She got an invitation from the Queen to spend last Christmas with the Royal family and opted instead to go to Scotland with her mother. That sort of invitation from the Queen is unprecedented for a royal girlfriend and turning it down is also unprecedented. So this time she planned the trip ahead of time. Ouch again. I guess spending time with the Royals is probably not a ton of fun. And they look like such party people! ha!

These photos of Kate and family preparing to board a flight back to the UK from Grantley Adams International Airport after their Christmas holiday on Barbados.

Kate and her Prince are supposed to be spending the New Years together and then he gets ready to take on his Royal Air Force duties.
