From Country Living

• Pippa Middleton left the United Kingdom for some winter sun in St. Barths over the holiday season.

• The Duchess of Cambridge's sister was joined by husband, James Matthews, and her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.

While Kate Middleton spent Christmas with the royal family on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, several of her family members hit the beach. Pippa Middleton and her husband were photographed soaking up the sun in St. Barths, and who can blame them?

Per the Daily Mail, Pippa went for a swim wearing a gorgeous white polka dot bikini by Heidi Klein, while Carole Middleton opted for a black halter-neck bikini top. According to Hello! magazine, the Middletons regularly vacay at five-star resort Eden Rock in St. Barths, which just so happens to be owned by James Matthews' parents.

Meanwhile, Pippa's sister Kate took part in the royal family's traditional Christmas Day walk to church. The duchess wore a gorgeous gray coat for the festivities, and was accompanied by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince William.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also took to Instagram to celebrate Christmas by posting a new family pic. The royals shared a black-and-white photo taken by Duchess Kate.

The Cambridges captioned the adorable photo, "Merry Christmas! This photograph of The Duke of Cambridge, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was taken by The Duchess of Cambridge in Norfolk earlier this year. We wish all our followers a very happy and relaxing Christmas Day ⛄️."
