Dozens of embarrassing pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge’s younger brother James Middleton have surfaced on social media.
James Middleton, 26, is shown partying with friends in the images – posted on Facebook – wearing a dress and even a sumo wrestler suit.
In one shot, he appears to be trying his hand at pole dancing, while another sees him flexing his muscles on the beach.
It’s not the first time a member of the royal family has been caught out in pictures posted by friends online – Prince Harry, his cousins Beatrice and Eugenie and his girlfriend Cressida have all had embarrassing photos published.
Unlike the old days, when pictures like these would have been catastrophic, party snaps only serve to increase the popularity of today’s young royals.
