The scandal has hit just as the royal couple travel throughout Asia as part of the queen's Diamond Jubilee Tour of the Far East. They are currently in Malaysia, where they visited a mosque for the first time.
"The duke and duchess remain focused currently on their tour of Singapore, Malaysia, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu on behalf of HM the Queen," the palace said.
The shocking photos emerge less than a month after naked images of Prince Harry surfaced from a wild Vegas weekend, and they're expected to once again fire up a debate about privacy policies surrounding the royal family, as well as the palace's attempts to impose media blackouts in the U.K.
