Photo & Video Replay of Princess Charlotte’s Historic Christening

Posted on July 9, 2015

Two months after her May 2nd birthday, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana made her first public appearance this past Sunday, July 5.  She wore the same Christening gown that her brother Prince George wore to his Baptism in 2013.

And it was also the same gown their dad wore to his ceremony as a baby which was a replica of the gown Queen Victoria‘s daughter wore in 1841.

Charolette got pushed to the St. Mary Magdalene Church, a 16th-century chapel  near the Queen’s estate in Sandringham, Norfolk. It’s the same Church where her late Grandmom Princess Diana was christened in 1961.

Charlotte’s ride itself, a Millson pram, is an antique family heirloom once owned by Queen Elizabeth, and once used for the Duke of York and Earl of Wessez.

The church was minutes from her family’s home so they walked — a first for the Royal family.

At one point, Kate even had to push the pram up a muddy hill in her heels.

About 3,500 onlookers were allowed to come watch the rainy stroll to the private ceremony which lasted about 45 minutes.

And in another break form tradition, Catherine nee Kate Middleton and Prince William asked that onlookers be allowed to take photos.

Normally, photos are not allowed except during Christmas. Good for the most watched modern Royals! Charlotte’s mom was decked in a pristine fit and flare off white Alexander McQueen dress, nude Russell & Bromley pumps, accented  with a diamond ‘Empress’ necklace from jewelers Mappin and Webb, and a fancy  matching church hat from by Jane Taylor Millinery, the same place Charlotte’s aunt Pipa Middleton wore with her white Emilia Wickstead coat dress.

 

Prince George wore a Rachel Riley shorts and top Smocked set that the UK Telegraph pointed out looked similar to the outfit William wore when he want to meet his brother Harry. Nice observation!

The official photos taken by Mario Testino were recently released.

The group photo featured Queen Elizabeth II, husband Prince Philip, Prince Charles, wife Camilla Parker Bowles and the Middleton family. Also there were Charlotte’s  five godparents including the Honorable Laura Fellowes, Adam Middleton, James Meade, Sophie Carter and Thomas van Straubenzee.

Uncle Prince Harry was away in Africa during a charity trip.

 

Nice!

Kate Middleton and Prince William announce their daughter’s name

Posted on May 4, 2015
The new princess has a name!
A Kensington Palace spokesperson confirmed Monday that Kate Middleton and Prince William have decided to name their second child, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
Charlotte was a name on top of the list that royal baby watchers anticipated. Bookies and gamblers were exchanging millions betting on names and Charlotte was the leading contender too among betters.
It’s quite endearing that the new baby will also carry the first name her maternal grandmother she will never meet, the late Princess Diana.
So sweet!

Royal Baby #2 Frenzy & Watch is on!

Posted on April 30, 2015

The Duchess of Cambridge is currently a few days overdue to deliver her second child with her husband Prince William.

There is rumor out that she will be induced this week or next.  In the meantime, Royal Baby #2 watchers are worked up in a frenzy in anticipation and (some in hopes) that the next baby is a girl.

Who wouldn’t want it to be a princess? This is the case because the couple have suggested plans to name her after Will’s late mom, Princess Diana if it is a girl.

Kate Middleton and William celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary this week. It would have been cool if the baby arrived that day but no such luck!

Check out the assortment of social media images of people expressing their excitement over at E! Online!

who is currently pregnant with her second child, is overdue, according to multiple reports, and per the U.K’s Telegraph, the 33-year-old royal may be induced this week.

Back in March, Prince George’s mama revealed that her due date is “mid to end” of April and we’re now just two days away from May, so understandably, eager royal admirers are feeling a little restless.

On sharing due dates with a major celebrity mom-to-be

Posted on April 21, 2015
Nine-months pregnant writer Emily Gould wrote a well thought-out piece in yesterday’s Racked.com which I could relate to much. In it, she talks about being fascinated with the pregnancies of celebrities like Kate Middleton, Zooey Deschanel, Keira Knightley and other celebrities also expecting as she is. 
Even though Gould knows these women have different pressures of having to incubate a child under the watchful eye of cameras and the public, she still feels a sort of kindred kinship with these ladies and for that reason has kept up with their respective pregnancies in the media. She knows sort of what they are going through and can relate.
It reminded me of how this blog launched eight years ago. Like Gould, I too was expecting and found comfort in keeping up with media coverage of Halle Berry, Garcelle Beauvais, Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera, Jenna Elfman  and Salma Hayek who, back then, were also expecting. Along with blogging about my own personal third and final pregnancy, I’d sprinkle in some post here and there about these ladies. But dissimilar to Gould, who suspects that she will “be over” the celebrity pregnant thing after she gives birth, my fascination and appreciation continued and hence we have the Bellyitch Blog of today which brings readers a good dose of celeb bump watch, sprinkled in between fashion, parenting tips and news and studies related to pregnancy, parenting and children. 
And so…today, we are officially on baby watch #2 with Kate Middleton who is officially due this Saturday and sources say is close to giving birth to her second child any moment now! Still exciting!
If you get a chance, head on over to Racked, and check out Gould’s entire essay.

Kate Middleton’s second-pregnancy due date revealed

Posted on March 19, 2015
We have official confirmation on the Duchess of Cambridge‘s due date for giving birth to her second child from the former Kate Middleton herself. 
She told volunteers at a recent event at the Brookhill Children’s Center in Woolwich that she is expecting to deliver in mid April, E!Online reports. 
In fact, the striking mom-to-be royal has been seen out and about attending various tours and charity events for the latter part of her pregnancy.
Most recently, she was seen attending the St. Patrick’s Day event at Mons Barracks in another one of her signature statement coats. 
This round she wore a tailored Catherine Walker  coat which she paired with brown Lock & Company “Betty Boop” suede heels and accented with a shamrock pin for the occasion.
When a spectator remarked how trim she looked for being 8-months pregnant, Middleton replied that she sometimes “forgets she’s pregnant.” wow. 
The new baby will join 19-month old Prince George whose dad is Prince William. 

Cute!

Bump Watch: Kate Middleton tours art gallery in trendy dalmatian print coat

Posted on March 12, 2015
The Duchess of Cambridge rocked a Hobbs Dalmatian print coat she’s worn before while touring the Turner Contemporary Art Gallery yesterday, March 11, in Margate, England. I loved the fact she had her hair pulled back into a messy pony tail since wispy loose messy hair is trending these days.

The former Kate Middleton was in her fave black Stuart Weitzman Power pumps and carried a quaint  Mulberry clutch.  I’m really feeling the dalmation print as it is whimsical and fun! 

hmmm…..
