Kate Middleton isn't the only royal with an awesome bikini bod! Princess Beatrice, Prince William's younger cousin, showed off her newly-slimmed bikini body as she played on a luxury yacht in the French Riviera with boyfriend David Clark.

Beatrice, who made headlines when she wore a light pink bow hat to Will and Kate's wedding, opted for a subdued look of a classic black string bikini and, later, a ruffled black one-piece. The 22-year-old royal was mocked by the British press in 2008 when she showed off a fuller figure in a blue bikini. The reaction to the photos is said to be the main reason that Beatrice has chosen to shed the pounds with a personal trainer.

Beatrice's new fitness track may help her bond with new cousin-in-law Kate who, with her sister Pippa Middleton, is a notorious fitness freak. Check out some photos of Kate and Pippa in matching white bikinis below.
