Kate Middleton pregnant visit Cambridge

November 28, 2012:

Though the Duke and Duchess hadn’t officially announced Kate’s pregnancy at the time of this appearance, it was with major speculation that we reported on this MaxMara Studio wool and cashmere coat which featured an upside-down bowtie for a belt. Given that the Duchess is so expertly put together at all times, we had a feeling her mind was elsewhere.

Kate Middleton pregnant London-Underground By Malene Birger

March 20, 2013:

Back in her second trimester, Kate’s ultra-slender frame made it difficult to baby bump watch. Nevertheless, we enjoyed reporting on this beautifully put-together By Malene Birger teal wool coat and black wool fascinator while she visited the London Underground.

Even aside from her glowing grin, Kate’s outfit is vintage-inspired perfection from head to toe. She’s wearing a sleeveless pale-blue dress by Emilia Wickstead, dove-grey suede Rupert Sanderson heels and pale-blue drop earrings while on visit to the National Portrait Gallery.

Kate Middleton pregnant Jenny-Packham Queens Coronation

June 4, 2013:

This silhouette and colour palette seem staple for Kate, and they didn’t let her down even mid-pregnancy. The Duchess looks perfect, as always, in a pale-pink bespoke Jenny Packham coat and dress and a hat by Jane Taylor while attending a ceremony at Westminster Abbey to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation.

Kate Middleton pregnant Hobbs coat

June 13, 2013:

Kate makes a bold statement on her second to last public appearance while pregnant in a dalmatian print coat by Hobbs and a black fascinator by Lock & Co.

Even before he or she has hatched, the first Royal baby of the 21^st century (with British throne potential) is being welcomed into the world by way of 21^st century technology. The web’s been abuzz ever since the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced that they were expecting a baby back in December and it’s reached fever pitch over the past few weeks.

According to the most exact of royal watchers, Kate Middleton’s due date is this Saturday July 13^th, which means we’ve got less than 6 days till the big day! For us, that means 6 days of updates, by way of the web’s many swirling Royal baby rumours. It also means 6 days of looking back mistily at Kate’s best maternity outifts.

Today, we bring you the best of both.

The Daily Mail has the scoop on said baby’s official title, which is, quite exactly: His Royal Highness Prince (insert name) of Cambridge, or Her Royal Highness Princess (name) of Cambridge.

The Cut is reporting that Kate Middleton’s ceremonial Royal baby reveal will occur, just as Princess Diana’s did, on the steps of Buckingham Palace’s Ludo Wing.

There’s more! To add to the merriment of the Royal Family, Zara Phillips and husband Mike Tyndall have just announced that they too, are expecting a Royal baby!

And with that, we sign out. Majorly faclempt. Have a look at our slideshow while we grab the tissues.
