Reunited and it feels so good! It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen the royal trio out together but they certainly know how to pick their official engagements. This morning the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry officially opened Warner Bros studios in Hertfordshire, which is home to such franchise productions as Harry Potter, Batman and James Bond. Meaning the three young royals got to tour the studio and play with all the props, much to our delight.

As you can see from the picture above, they were quite into showing off their Harry Potter wand skills. (Kate Middleton has reportedly read all the Harry Potter books and seen all the movies.) William, on the other hand, was especially into all the Dark Knight gear and as the Mirror reports, he was even joking about the possibility of making them royal baby friendly: “To be honest, I’m over the moon just to have seen the real Batmobile and Batpod. [...] You don’t do baby seats for those cars, do you, by any chance?” Clearly on a roll, Will also joked about his brother: “Harry’s just excited to see a real-life talking owl in the Harry Potter studios. I haven’t told him yet that Harry Potter is fictional, so please keep the secret for a little longer.”

Keeping with the day’s playful theme, Kate’s bump-hugging polka dot outfit was perfect for the occasion. Her adorable dress is from Topshop (and already sold out online, of course) and hits just above the knee—a cut she’s been wearing quite frequently during her pregnancy. Read more »

The Duchess of Cambridge continues her visit to Scotland in Armani and an apropos tartan scarf

Duchess of Cambridge visits Scotland in Armani

Continuing their visit to Scotland, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made another appearance today with two separate engagements that included the opening of a new outdoor centre and a visit to the company responsible for building submarines for the UK Royal Navy.

Keeping with her tendency to recycle clothing, Kate Middleton wore an Armani red angora coat that she first wore to William’s passing out ceremony back in 2006. The wrap-around style still manages to conceal Kate’s baby bump, but we can see that she is starting to show a little bit more.

Continuing her Scottish theme from yesterday (she wore a tartan print coat by Molah), Kate also wore a Strathearn tartan scarf that she wore previously at the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant last year, which is a nod to her Scottish title, The Countess of Strathearn. She completed the look with the same Aquatalia boots that she wore yesterday, a pair of stunning amethyst drop earrings by Kiki McDonough, and her trademark Cornelia James side bow gloves.

Kate Middleton uses a tartan print to disguise the royal baby bump in Scotland

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Scotland for two days and, fun fact: while north of the English border they’re formally known as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn. (So many royal titles!) In keeping with the Scottish theme, Kate Middleton wore a new tartan print coat by the British brand Moloh, possibly purchased for its uncanny ability to hide the baby bump we’re all eager to see.

(Seriously, Hollywood starlets wary of tabloid rumours should all be taking notes from Kate Middleton’s pregnancy style. It’s impenetrable.)

William and Kate spent the day in Glasgow, meeting with locals as well as the official mascot for the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. In the afternoon they visited a centre for homeless youth and had the chance to partake in various activities that the centre offers. Most notably, Will attempted to learn how to play DJ and mix records, a mental image we’ll spend the rest of the week delighting in.

But, back to Kate! The Duchess paired her tartan Moloh coat with black accessories, including opaque tights, her favourite Aquatalia boots and a clutch purse. Read more »

The ever-glowing Kate Middleton has had a busy couple of days and while we’ve been monitoring every visible or invisible inch of her baby bump for quite some time, it seems that (according to mainstream media) yesterday was the first time it officially reared its royal head.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the offices of Child Bereavement UK, a charity which helps families rebuild when children lose loved ones or when a child dies. No doubt something Prince William understands too well, the visit was a natural fit for the couple, especially as they begin a family of their own. Princess Diana was a supporter of the charity in her lifetime, and founder Julia Samuel was quoted as saying “I am so grateful for William’s support and proud of him for speaking so openly about the effect that losing his mother has had on him. It sounds so trite to say, but I know Diana would have been so proud of him too.”

Outside, Kate was greeted with flowers and teddy bears while wearing her new cream coloured wool coat by British label Goat (it’s still available for purchase here). Inside, while listening to music and popping bubbles with children and staff, Kate revealed a black Topshop dress with a cream Peter Pan collar. The loose-fitting style was a perfect choice, both for her personally comfort and for us oglers, as it provided oodles of room for the bump to, well, exist.

Kate Middleton spends the weekend in Switzerland at a friends’ wedding

Kate Middleton fans got quite the treat this weekend when the Duke and Duchess of Cambirdge showed up on a mountain in Arosa, Switzerland. The pair—plus Prince Harry—were in town for the wedding of their friends Mark Tomlinson and Laura Bechtolsheimer. (He’s a professional polo player, she’s an Olympic gold medal winning equestrian (nbd!) and they both attended William and Kate’s wedding.) The royals spent Friday on the Swiss slopes, clearly taking advantage of the private ski lift at the Tschuggen Grand Hotel resort, conveniently owned by the bride’s billionaire grandfather. (Again, nbd!) But while everyone else opted to go skiing, pregnant Kate spent her time sledding.

On Saturday we got another glimpse of the Duke and Duchess en route to the wedding. Read more »

Kate Middleton has perfect hair and a Mona Lisa smile in her first official portrait (Plus: How she spent her 31st birthday!)

The first official painted portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge was unveiled today in London and reviews are… mixed, to put it lightly. Created by artist Paul Emsley, the painting is quite dark, save for the glowing face of a serene-looking Kate Middleton with more of a Mona Lisa half-smile than the joyful grin we’re used to. “The Duchess explained that she would like to be portrayed naturally—her natural self—as opposed to her official self,” explained Emsley in a video about the work (which you can watch below). And yet, the painting seems much more official than casual—we’re not the only ones who think it would be the perfect portrait to appear on, say, currency? (We can hope!)

The painting does, however, capture Kate Middleton’s enviable hair. “We did say in the beginning we were going to make a feature of her hair, because it is a strong feature about her and everyone, I think, recognizes her in part through her lovely hair,” Emsley noted. Read more »

There seems to be a direct correlation between the amount of time since we last saw Kate Middleton in public and the number of “royal sources” who are more than willing to share reports about our dear Duchess of Cambridge. Case in point: we’ve seen barely a glimpse of Kate since December (a surprise TV appearance was barely satisfying and zoom-lens shots from Christmas provided little intel) and the rumours are running rampant.

First up, the rumour we hope is true: Victoria Beckham will be designing maternity wear for Kate Middleton. Read more »

Kate Middleton 31st birthday gift rumours

See all of Kate’s recent appearances and outfits »

Kate Middleton’s 31st birthday is next week and, right on schedule, there’s a fresh batch of rumours about what her husband has planned for the big day. Well, we hope Kate stays off the internet until January 9 if she wants to be surprised: Royal sources are claiming that Prince William is on the hunt for a house. Of course, given that he’s the Duke of Cambridge and she’s the Duchess, this isn’t any ordinary piece of real estate. Kate Middleton’s birthday gift is said to be in the £5 million range, as the royal couple want a home on a property so large that it will trump the prying eyes of curious paparazzi and zoom-lens cameras.
