TOPLESS, SO WHAT? Duchess Of Cambridge Is Greeted By Bare-Chested Tribal Women In The Solomon Islands On Royal Tour (PHOTOS)

The irony could not have been lost on her.


And as the Duchess of Cambridge received an intricate beaded necklace from a gaggle of bare-chested locals she couldn't help but let out a giggle.

The Young Royals were garlanded with the traditional jewellery during their visit to the tiny village of Marau in the Solomon Islands before taking the scenic route to the paradise island of Tavanipupu aboard a traditional war canoe.

The laid back pair had arrived to the latter island barefoot before walking over quite rough ground. Earlier the Duchess of Cambridge spoke of the importance of her family today as the couple were treated to a fearsome welcome by warriors during the latest leg of the South Pacific tour.

Kate revealed how family life was very important to her especially now she was married during a half hour chat with about 40 women from the Young Women's Parliamentary Group which was formed a year ago to help address gender inequality in the country.

It had been another busy day for her and Prince William as they first headed out of Honiara, capital of the Solomon Islands, to the tiny village of Marau before taking the scenic route to the paradise island of Tavanipupu aboard a traditional war canoe.
