Kate Middleton panics over family photos?

Beauty Kate Middleton is reportedly panicking over the release of photos showing her family during a messy, drunken night. The photos, exclusively obtained by Life & Style, were taken on April 15, 2009, feature Kate's younger sister, Pippa, her brother James, her father, Michael, and her mother, Carole at Raffles, to celebrate James' birthday.

"You could tell from the way he was walking that James had been drinking," an observer tells Life & Style. After just a half an hour inside the club, he emerged for a smoke break. He was so out of it, he shocked bystanders by urinating through a railing into a historic, private garden. And although the family lived just steps away from the club, James had to be escorted home in a taxi.

"Katie was mortified and tried to keep people from taking his picture," the onlooker recalls, "but he didn't seem to care."

"Now that Kate is joining her family, those photos are more embarrassing than when they were originally taken," a royal insider tells Life & Style. According to the insider, the queen wants the youngsters to party in private. "She's even asked William and Kate to cut down on their evenings out because she doesn't think it looks right for them to be partying so much during a recession."
