Now can reveal that the Duchess of Cambridge's cousin Katrina Darling, 21, is about to heap further shame on Kate after being asked to pose nude for Playboy magazine.
A source says: 'Katrina's enjoyed some success in the US following her burlesque performances and now she's attracted the attention of Playboy.
'She hasn't agreed to do it yet, but it'd be hugely embarrassing for Kate.'
As Now exclusively revealed in March, Kate's second cousin Katrina is an experienced burlesque dancer who often strips completely naked as part of her routine, which includes an act called God Save The Queen.
At the time, Katrina told Now she'd love to perform for the Royal Family but was scared she'd give Prince Philip, 91, 'a heart attack'.
Although Katrina's agent has denied that she's been approached by the adult magazine, both she and Playboy tellingly refused to comment to Now about the, um, indecent proposal.
