Kate Middleton Gives Birth to A Baby Boy After a Short Labor

Posted on April 23, 2018

Catherine Duchess of Cambridge (née Kate Middleton) and Prince William welcomed their third child, a son today.

Kensington Palace confirmed the baby was born in the early hours of the morning,

The news came not long after it announced that the Duchess had gone into early labor.

She labored for about 7 hours which is relatively short but not atypical because she labored for 12 hours with Princess Charlotte and only 3 or so with Prince George.

“Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 1101hrs. The baby weighs 8lbs 7oz,” Kensington Palace announced on Twitter. “The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.”

The baby, who was born at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, the same place his big brother Prince George of Cambridge, 4, and sister Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, 2, were born.

“The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the new,” Kensington Palace further announced.

The baby automatically becomes fifth in line to the British throne, behind his granddad Prince Charles, father William and Prince George, and Princess Charlotte.

The baby leapfrogs his uncle Prince Harry in the succession.

The child’s name is set to be announced soon.

The baby birth’s comes just a few weeks ahead of Princess Charlotte’s third birthday, which is on May 2, and a few months ahead of Prince George’s fifth birthday, which is on July 22.

Kate Middleton Bumps It Up with Meghan Markle at Commonwealth Service

Posted on March 13, 2018

Third-time mom-to-be Duchess Catherine of Cambridge and her husband Prince William were joined by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and the other royals at the annual Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey this week.

The former Kate Middleton recycled a coat she has worn before, a navy wool Beulah Chiara London coat with a matching Jimmy Choo clutch and Malory’ pumps by Rupert Sanderson.

In her third trimester, Kate’s bump was visible through her coat as she and the royal pair greeted children at the event.

Interestingly enough, whoever styles Kate must also style Former actress Markle because she too was outfitted in an A-line coat with clean lines and in a primary color, well off white but you know, classic solids.

Both women wore wool hats that matched their coats. All of the other royals wore variations of navy and white so I think it was planned.

It is a classic and conservative aesthetic that is unique to Kate’s style.

If you look at how Kate dressed compared to as a married duchess, you can see the evolution and change.

I like their look but if it is too similar, it will give off a Stepford Wives vibe to me.

Bump Speculation: Meghan Markle at Pippa Middleton’s Wedding Reception

Posted on May 22, 2017

The sister to our most popular bumpwatched alum Catherine Duchess of Cambridge (nee Kate Middleton) got married on Saturday, May 20 at St. Mark’s church in England:

Pippa Middleton married her fiancé of two years, hedge fund manager James Matthews, at a lavish ceremony where her niece and nephew Prince George and Princess Charlotte were in the wedding party, along with sister Kate and princes Harry and William.

The bride wore a jaw-dropping white lace gown courtesy of British designer Giles Deacon.

She also married into royalty as Matthews is the heir to a Scottish title. His father, David Matthews, is otherwise known as the Laird of Glen Affric, meaning that eventually, Pippa will be known as Lady of Glen Affric.

The ceremony was also notable for rumors that Pippa only permitted significant others who were fiance or married to a family member to attend- a so-called “no ring, no bring” policy.

William’s bro is famously seriously dating American actress Meghan Marke. While the Suits star didn’t make the ceremony, the Daily Mail reports that she did attend other wedding weekend events including a Bucklebury, Bershire event and air exhibition at the Middleton’s estate.

Markel attended while Pippa’s brother-in-law Spencer Matthews‘ girlfriend Vogue Williams did not. So…hmmmm

Also, we don’t think it is there, but a few folks thought they saw a slight bump on her recently, sparking Bumpwatch and marriage speculation widely.

Time will tell.

Princess Charlotte Broke the Internet This Week

Posted on June 17, 2016

Princess Charlotte trended this week when she appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with her parents Duchess Catherine (nee Kate Middleton), dad Prince William and her brother Prince George to watch grandmom Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday parade.

The 13-month old was adorable in a pink dress matching her mom’s Philip Treacy hat at the jubilee event. Her bro, my boy Georgie stood out himself wearing the precise same outfit dad William wore to his uncle Prince Harry’s christening back in 1984. George turns 2 next month.

The youngest princess knows how to work a crowd. She actually waved to the crowd and looked quite comfortable in front of all those people.

Those royals know how to hold onto an old ceremonial outfit. Both George and Charlotte wore a replica of Williams’ Christening gown. (smile)

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’s phone hacked 155 times, newspaper editor admits

Posted on May 14, 2014

Former News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman admitted in court today that he had hacked the voicemails of Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Kate Middleton‘s phone was hacked 155 times, Prince William‘s was illegally accessed 35 times and Harry’s messages on nine occasions, the Old Bailey in Central London was told.

Goodman was forced to admit that his hacking while at the newspaper was much wider than he had previously disclosed, after being shown his phone records from 2005 and 2006.

The 56-year-old was jailed in 2007 for illegally accessing the voicemails on royal aides’ mobiles.

He told the court: ‘There has been no intention to deceive you or anybody else about my involvement in hacking. If anyone asks me an open question, I will give an open answer.’

The Duchess was allegedly first hacked on December 12, 2005, by Goodman after he was handed her voicemail details by private detective Glenn Mulcaire.

He intercepted her voicemails repeatedly on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and again on Boxing Day of 2005, the court was told. He allegedly started hacking Prince William in January 2006 and then began intercepting Prince Harry’s voicemails the same year.

Goodman said: ‘I’m saying I hacked Prince Harry and I am being open and honest. It is not a question of being forced to accept this, I’ve never been asked.’

He said the last hack of Prince Harry was on May 5, 2006, while he last hacked Kate Middleton on August 7, 2006, the day before he was arrested
