Kate Middleton's Holiday Snaps

Released as part of PR drive for new website

Well, there are no topless shots, but what did you expect?

As part of its PR drive to launch their new website - which has already informed us that Prince Charles does not demand seven eggs be boiled for his breakfast and just eat one, that Camilla will never be queen and accidentally disclosed the passwords of William's RAF pals - the palace today released these pictures taken by Kate during the royal tour in Borneo.

kate-middleton-borneo7 — "This is a tree we saw in Borneo which I thought was really beautiful"

And what do we think?

kate-middleton-borneo5 — "This is a mountain"

kate-middleton-borneo6 — "This is some more trees..."

kate-middleton-borneo4 — "This is an ape!"

kate-middleton-borneo2 — "This is another tree..."

kate-middleton-borneo3 — "This is a field we saw..."

kate-middleton-borneo1 — "And this is some more mountains!"

Well, I guess they confirm that much like other people's dreams, other people's holiday snaps - moutains poking through the mist, blurry primates in trees, geometrically pleasing plantations - are rarely that interesting, even when taken by the future queen.

If only there were pictures of William mooning the year of royal nudity would be complete.
