Princess Watch

For those of us who are crazy Kate watchers - we got a lovely surprise when Kate attended an awards ceremony last night.  After weeks of missed appearances due to her illness, Kate thrilled everyone by attending the SPOTY Awards (sport) to present an award.  she only stayed for 45 minutes but that was enough to keep us going for a bit longer!

Kate is wearing -  an Alexander McQueen bell sleeved floor length gown and Jimmy Choo heels

Festive Van

 One of my favourite vans - Mr Jenkins - has had a Christmas makeover.  I couldn't resist sharing it with you.

 

Princess Watch - She's Going Home

Will picked Kate up today after 4 days in hospital.  It's lovely to see her looking as smiley as usual.  She'll be resting up at home until the New Year - Doesn't Will look happy to have her back.

 

 

Princess Watch - Kate's Having A Baby!

What wonderful news to wake up to although it has been tempered by the fact that Kate is very unwell and has been hospitalised necessitating the need to announce the pregnancy early.

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE ARE EXPECTING A BABY

Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby.
The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news.
The Duchess was admitted this afternoon to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with Hyperemesis Gravidarum. As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter.

 Kate and Will at their last joint engagement at Peterborough Hospital

“HG is a debilitating and potentially life-threatening pregnancy disease marked by rapid weight loss, malnutrition, and dehydration due to unrelenting nausea and/or vomiting with potential adverse consequences for the newborn(s).”

I thought playing hockey in heels was impressive - but doing it while suffering from HG adds a whole new level of stoicism. 

Kate has cancelled her next couple of engagements and Will spent the day with her at the hospital - here he is leaving last night.  Hopefully Kate will be able to successfully manage her condition and enjoy the rest of her pregnancy.

Princess Watch - 3 in 1 Post

Kate visited her old prep school - St Andrews and after spending time with the kids couldn't resist joining in a hockey game.

 Kate is wearing - Alexander McQueen coat dress in Black Watch tartan - a nod to St. Andrews Day.  This is my favourite outfit in a long time.

Kate and Will were also out and about last week - they visited Cambridge - their namesake.

 Kate wore - MaxMara coat.

The night before this outing Kate attended an event at the National History Museum on her own.

She also bebuted a hair cut which had everyone in a flap!

 Kate wore - her jade green Mulberry dress.
