Carole Middleton has joined Princess Kate, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on a trip abroad, according to new claims.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are understood to be enjoying a Caribbean holiday with their three children, joined by Kate's mother Carole Middleton.
Carole, who recently celebrated her 70th birthday, had already been staying in the Caribbean for several days before the Wales family arrived, according to reports.
The family getaway marks their second holiday in recent months, following a New Year ski break.

Prince William, Princess Kate and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis all travelled together on the same flight to their destination.
The Caribbean trip means Prince William will miss this year's BAFTA ceremony at London's Royal Festival Hall, despite being President of the organisation.
BAFTA insiders had hoped for a joint appearance from William and Kate, which would have marked the Princess's return to the red carpet.
The Prince, 42, attended the ceremony solo last year.

Kensington Palace had previously confirmed the royal couple would not attend the star-studded event in 2025.
The Royal Family's travel arrangements mark a departure from traditional protocol, which typically requires heirs to the throne to fly separately.
The three Wales children - Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six - all attend Lambrook School in Berkshire, a stone's throw away from their home, Adelaide Cottage.
