PROTOCOL usually dictates that female royals stay covered up in public.

But Lady Amelia Windsor broke with tradition this week by going topless on the beach in Ibiza.

The 22-year-old model, who is 38th in line to the throne, strolled around Santa Eulalia in pink bikini bottoms.

She also looked happy and relaxed as she read a book and cooled off with a dip in the sea.

The Duke of Kent’s Granddaughter, who has been named the most beautiful royal by Tatler, was on holiday with her sister Marina.

And she did her good deed for the day by picking up litter from the beach.

Amelia is often spotted at society events, most recently at the Serpentine Summer Party, and models for Dolce and Gabbana.

The royal rebel recently revealed a tattoo inked on her ribcage, adding to the tiger inking on her shoulder and three animals on her wrist.

Unlike ‘working royals’ like Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, Amelia is allowed to have social media accounts and has been posting numerous pictures of her summer break on Instagram.

Amelia is the daughter of George Windsor, the Earl of St Andrews, and Sylvana Tomiselli.

Her father converted to Catholicism to marry her mother and relinquished his claim to the throne but the Succession Act, in 2013, meant his rights were restored.

As well as being a model and cover girl, Lady Amelia recently collaborated with Penelope Chilvers on a shoe collection, with all profits going to War Child.

Meanwhile, this is where Meghan Markle will be spending her birthday on Saturday.
