    Kate Middleton has chosen to unwind on the island of Mustique with her husband and family

    Kate Middleton’s start to the year was blighted by ill health, with a stay in hospital for acute morning sickness. But after a busy line-up of public engagements, the Duchess has finally found some time for a break from the spotlight - and some much needed R&R in the Caribbean.

    The Duchess of Cambridge has jetted to the island of Mustique with her husband, Prince William to relax in a stunning £19,000-a-week villa.

    According to Royal Editor, Robert Jobson’s Twitter page, the property has a luxurious infinity pool, games room and stunning views out onto the Caribbean Sea.

    While the couple enjoy a romantic holiday for two, Kate Middleton’s parents Michael and Carole Middleton are also staying on the island at a property down the road and will no doubt be on hand should Kate’s morning sickness return.

    It was recently revealed Kate Middleton would take a month off from royal engagements with St James’s Palace confirming she will continue with her commitments ‘in the near future’.

    And what a month off it’s set to be with time to unwind in the Caribbean.

    On his return to the UK Prince Harry said he hoped his sister-in-law would be allowed to rest away from the public saying: ‘Hopefully she [the Duchess] gets the necessary protection to allow her as a mother-to-be to enjoy the privacy that that comes with. I seriously hope that's going to be able to happen.'
