Meghan Markle's Instagram carousel also included personal family photos featuring Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The swimsuit photo was just one image in a larger Instagram carousel featuring 10 additional snapshots from Meghan's summer vacation.
She captioned the post, “Summer holiday” alongside a sun emoji.
Among the family photos was one of 7-year-old Prince Archie sitting in an airplane cockpit while wearing a pilot's hat.
Another showed Prince Harry tossing Princess Lilibet into a swimming pool while wearing a backward baseball cap.
One Family Photo Sparked Even More Speculation

Charles Spencer previously explained that Princess Diana's burial site was designed to remain private and protected from unwanted visitors.
One particular image drew even more attention online.
The photo shows Prince Harry, Archie and Lilibet from behind as they walk down a tree-lined grassy path.
Many online observers believe the image was taken at Althorp, the Spencer family estate where Princess Diana spent much of her childhood.
Harry and Archie are each seen carrying large bouquets of flowers, leading some social media users to speculate that the family may have been visiting Princess Diana's burial site, which is located on an island in the middle of Althorp's Oval Lake.
Princess Diana's Gravesite Remains Private
Princess Diana's final resting place has long remained closed to the public.
In his book Althorp: The Story Of An English House, her brother Charles Spencer explained why the burial site was intentionally placed in a secluded location.
He wrote that the lake was “(acting) as a buffer against the interventions of the insane and ghoulish, the thick mud presenting a further line of defense."
