Kate Middleton and Prince George Jet Off to the Caribbean for Young Prince's First Vacation

Kate Middleton and Prince George have had enough of the English winter: Together with Middleton's family, the duo left a studious William back at home as they traveled to the Caribbean as part of the youngest royal's first vacation abroad.

Kate and George joined the Middletons on their annual holiday to the island of Mustique, where they stayed in a luxury four-bedroom villa overlooking the sea, HELLO! magazine reported.

The new mom braved the roughly nine hour flight aboard a British Airways with the six month old and two royal bodyguards as well as her brother James. She then caught a private jet to the 14,000-acre private island situated 100 miles west of Barbados.

Michael, Carole and Pippa Middleton were all believed to have been at the villa already, awaiting the princess. The vacation was planned in part to celebrate the matriarch's 59th birthday.

Meanwhile, William stayed behind due to his agricultural studies at Cambridge University.

The Scottish noble Colin Tennant purchased Mustique more than 50 years ago for just £45,000. At the time, the island lacked roads or running water. Initially, Tennant attempted to transform the place into a cotton plantation, but failed, at which point he established the Mustique Company and tasked it with transforming the place into a vacation spot.

To this day, the place remains a celebrity-saturated vacation spot, with Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and Jeremy Clarkson among those with a villa there, according to HELLO! magazine.

Included in HELLO! magazine's report are the first images of George since his christening in October. Taken while the mother and son were traveling, the images mark the first time paparazzi pictures of the future king were published.
