There are also growing calls for Kate to be given more privacy as she recovers from her surgery, which took place in January.
Asked about the Princess of Wales pictures this morning on LBC, culture secretary Lucy Frazer said: "She is a remarkable lady and I think we should give her a bit of privacy...at the moment she is recovering from an operation and I think we should respect her privacy."
