nbc's sara james is in the solomon islands following the royal couple. sarahorter: good morning, jenna. it was back in 1974 that queen elizabeth paid a visit to the solomons and now her grandson, prince william, and wife catheri catherine. for those who waited hours in the hot tropical sun, it was some enchanted afternoon when the duke and duchess of ca cambridge arrived in the south pacific. stepping foot on the island, a famous world war ii battleground. >> it's a chance in a lifetime, so something for us as a family and the kids to see. >> reporter: the royal couple traveled in a replica canoe to the cathedral pay iing tribute the nautical nature after country which is a collection of islands. the couple's laidback visit here in keeping with their trip, kate wearing hiking boots rather than the designer gown she wore earlier in the trip. the royals are keeping a brave face while controversy swells about the topless photos taken of kate while she and william were on vacation in france. first a french magazine published them, then an irish newspaper, promptin

virtually that a telephone conversation between princess diana and james gilby was reported on in the sun newspaper. it's 20 years since sarahr toes sucked by a texan millionaire. 15 years since princess diana died being chased by paparazzi. on none of those occasions did the royal family take any legal action. this is unprecedented and an indication of how appalled they are. >> does it have anything to do with what we saw just last month with prince harry and the partying photos? are they feeling an intrusion, a deeper intrusion than before? >> i don't think so. i think this is william, as princess diana's friend said in the piece, this is william deciding he has to establish some red line. the problem with this is that "closer" magazine is a french magazine and the version that published these images is in france. but it's owned by the italian former prime minister. so the anxiety is that this is going to be a contagion. i think the hope is that by issuing some kind of litigation, it may have the effect of slowing down what will eventually become a wildfire and spread. >> this is so personal for prince william, isn't it? i
