• e-mail

The blonde model pictured enjoying a boozy lunch with Prince William on a ski break in Verbier is a 'straight talking Aussie girl' with few inhibitions about showing off her body, according to a photographer friend. 

Stunning Sophie Taylor was seen high fiving the second in line to the throne during a break from skiing in the upmarket resort in Switzerland.

But perhaps the prince, 34, would be surprised to learn that the 24-year-old Australian posed for a series of topless shots for photographer Glen Krohn when she visited the paradise island of Bali last year where he is based.

'Sophie is a great girl, a real down to earth straight talking girl from Oz,' said Glen. 'She would be very comfortable in the company of the royals even though I don't think she had met any of them before. 

'Sophie would give as good as she gets and would be very confident in Prince William's company.' 

Prince William has faced criticism after being seen partying with friends on a Swiss ski holiday while other royals were attending a Commonwealth ceremony with the Queen at Westminster Abbey over the weekend.

'I'd never heard her mention anything about William or the royal family, but she would not be worried about meeting them. She is very down to earth and confident.' 

He said when she was in Bali in November she was single but is now dating Aaron Goodfellow Prince William's weekend away came as other members of the royal family attended a service at Westminster Abbey to mark Commonwealth Day. 

His absence from the important event has re- ignited jibes about the 'workshy' 34 year old failing to tackle royal duties. William returned to the UK on Monday after the four day jaunt with close friends Guy Pelly, childhood pal Tom van Straubenzee and close friend James Meade.

The resort is a popular spot for the royal family, so it is no surprise that the beauty, who is an avid skier, crossed paths with the Prince.

It is believed that he left his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, and their young children at home for the weekend jaunt, returning to England late yesterday afternoon.

On Sunday the group enjoyed a challenging day on the slopes, and a lazy lunch at mountainside restaurant La Vache, which is known as one of the best in Switzerland.
