Prince William and Kate Middleton wrapped up their time on the Solomon Islands today.

Prince William and Kate Middleton wrapped up their time on the Solomon Islands today. After spending last night at a remote beach resort in Tavanipupu and enjoying some private time, and even a couple of piña coladas with rum, they left the Solomon Islands from Honiara and headed on their jet to Tuvalu. Once they landed, they received quite a reception. Kate and William were carried in elevated, ornate chairs to a welcome ceremony, where Kate donned traditional garb to join dancers. William got in on the fun, too. The royals also visited the University of the South Pacific to discuss climate change and its effects on Tuvalu. Later, they're expected to judge a boat race and attend an official dinner reception.

Their Asian Pacific tour carried on while back home, their lawyers pressed a case against the French magazine that published topless photos of Kate. Will and Kate had a legal victory over France's Closer, with a court in the country ruling the photos must not be published again.

Prince William and his wife Kate arrived on the Solomon Islands this morning to quite a reception. As soon as they stepped off their plane at Honiara International Airport on Guadalcanal Island, they were greeted by Island warriors performing a traditional dance. The couple received floral leis before boarding an open-top vehicle in the shape of a canoe to venture from the airport into the town. In Honiara, William and Kate first attended a Jubilee Thanksgiving Service at St. Barnabus Cathedral. They then changed into traditional prints to visit the home of the governor general of the Solomon Island. Kate had apparently brought a dress to wear to the evening banquet, but decided to don the pink printed frock which was a gift from her hosts. Prince William also said a few words at the meal, thanking everyone for the warm welcome.

William and Kate's Asia Pacific tour continues despite the furor over topless photos of Kate featured in a French magazine. Apparently, the royals are seeking an injunction to legally prevent any other publications from sharing the images.

Kate Continues Malaysian Tour Despite Topless Photo Scandal

Kate Middleton wore Alice Temperley this afternoon to take tea time with her husband, Prince William, at the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur. Earlier in the day, Kate covered her head for a visit to a mosque in Kuala Lumpur. Kate and William have wrapped up their time in the Malaysian city, and departed from the airport for their next stop.

The traveling and photo ops have continued for William and Kate, despite a scandal — photos of Kate Middleton topless were published in a French magazine this week. The images were taken with a long lens during her and William's getaway in Provence last week. The royal family is angry over the violation of William and Kate's privacy. In a statement, reps for the palace said, "We certainly feel a red line's been crossed. . . . Their Royal Highnesses have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner. The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the duke and duchess for being so. Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them."
