Photos of a pregnant Kate Middleton wearing a blue bikini while vacationing with her husband aired Wednesday on the show This Morning after the images were published by an Italian magazine, according to The Sun.

The pictures of Middleton pregnant in a bikini were taken on the Caribbean island of Mustique, where she and her husband, Prince William, were on vacation. The images, according to Us Weekly, are said to show Middleton in a blue bikini walking on the beach alongside her husband as she was sunbathing on their private holiday.

On the show Wednesday, co-hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford were discussing the morning's newspaper headlines. They were criticized then for showing Italy's Chi magazine, which published the bikini photos of Middleton on Tuesday. The hosts held up the magazine cover on screen for three seconds and millions of viewers were able to catch a glimpse of the scandelous photos.

The royal family is reportedly very upset that the private photos were taken, and a royal spokesperson said Chi was "a clear breach of the couple's right to privacy."

"We are disappointed that photographs of the duke and duchess on a private holiday look likely to be published overseas. This is a clear breach of the couple's right to privacy," a spokesperson for St James's Palace added.

Chi is the same publication to publish topless pictures of the Duchess, 31, on a private holiday in France back in September of 2012.
