Kate Spotted Shopping in Chelsea.

Via PopSugar, on Thursday the Duchess of Cambridge was spotted shopping in the Chelsea area of London with a protection officer in tow. Kate was dressed casually in dark skinny jeans, a black and white print button down shirt by Jack Wills, a white cardigan and MINT VELVET grey plimsolls. She wore her hair up on a pony tail and was carrying bags from Zara Home.

Kate's engagement ring was turned over??

Looks very tired though, all that partying for the various events and looking after George  :-)
Get some sleep, Catherine. You look so tired, but  u  r still beautiful.

She looks stunning! And look at that body just three months after giving birth...

Kate Middleton Dazzles at Charity Gala

The evening the Duchess of Cambridge, Patron, 100 Women in Hedge Funds Philanthropic Initiatives, attended a reception and gala dinner to benefit Action on Addiction at the State Apartments in Kensington Palace.

A day after her son's christening, Duchess Kate returned to her charity work today, attending a reception and gala in aid of Action on Addiction in the Kensington Palace State Apartments. The Duchess of Cambridge is a patron of 100 Women in Hedge Funds Philanthropic Initiatives, which raises money for good causes. One of Kate's causes is fighting substance addiction. She appeared at a reception and dinner, and was to present an award, the 100 Women in Hedge Funds' 2013 European Industry Leadership Award. She was slim in a floor-length off-the-shoulder ink-blue silk tulle gown with a V-neckline and a black velvet belt by Jenny Packham, one of her favorite British designers.

The gala followed the christening of 3-month-old Prince George, baptized in the Chapel Royal of St. James's Palace in an intimate family ceremony that received worldwide coverage despite taking place away from the cameras. Sky News and the BBC royals correspondents reported that she commented on George's good behavior during the christening. "Kate on George at christening: He was such a good boy actually, we're very lucky - he's not always like that ... but â?¦ the people there, lots of action going on, it's slightly distracting," tweeted BBC's Peter Hunt. The pictures taken of the baby when the family arrived at the chapel showed him looking happy, or at least not crying, in father Prince William's arms. When they greeted Queen Elizabeth II, William jiggled the baby's arm a bit to make it seem as if he were waving at his great-grandmother.

This evening, at 10 p.m. London time, the palace released the historic picture, taken after the service Wednesday, of the queen with the three generations of her heirs, the first such picture since 1894. The Kensington Palace State Apartments are the formal Georgian-era state rooms in the palace where Kate and Prince William have recently moved into their newly renovated residence, the 21-room Apartment 1A. The state rooms, including the Presence Chamber, the King's Drawing Room and the Cupola Room, are run by the charity Historic Royal Palaces and are expected to be used for other charity receptions hosted by the royal couple in coming years.

Next month, they are expected to host a winter wonderland-themed party inspired by the ice palace in the film Dr. Zhivago, to raise money for Centrepoint, the charity for the homeless that William has taken on since the death of his mother, Princess Diana, who was its patron.

Prince George's Christening Photos Are Here!

The official christening photographs of 3-month-old Prince George, heir to the British throne, have been released. Shot by photographer Jason Bell at the Clarence House following the service, one photo features Prince George wearing a handmade replica of the royal christening robe, Kate Middleton clad in a cream-colored dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, and Prince William in a navy-blue suit.   

 It also shows an event that has not been seen for 119 years – a reigning monarch shown with three generations of future kings. The Queen, 87, clearly relished the historic moment, smiling with her son Prince Charles, grandson William and great-grandson George.

 It is the first time such a royal family portrait has been taken since 1894 - when Queen Victoria 

was pictured with her son, later Edward VII, grandson, later George V, 

and great-grandson, who became Edward VIII.

Another image shows Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince George, sitting together. “That photo is a big deal — it's the first time since 1894 that a reigning British monarch is photographed with three generations of heirs,” royal expert Victoria Arbiter tells Yahoo Shine. The first image was taken during the christening of the future Edward VIII and included Queen Victoria, her son Edward VII, her grandson George V, and her great-grandson Edward VIII.

Two families smile together in this touching photograph to 

celebrate Prince George’s christening.

The stunning pictures were taken at a tea party hosted by George’s proud grandad Prince Charles and his wife Camilla in the morning room at Clarence House, London.

Attached are some pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge on her baptism day with her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, and her maternal grandmother, Dorothy Goldsmith. Kate was christened on June 20, 1982 at Bradfield's St. Andrew's Church and later confirmed into the Church of England on March 10, 2011, ahead of her marriage to Prince William at the Chapel Royal, the same place where Prince George's christening ceremony is taking place at 3:00pm today.

At a Clarence House reception following Prince George's christening ceremony today, guests will be served tea and a slice of cake taken from the first tier of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding cake.

The cake, designed by Fiona Cairns, was made from 17 individual fruit cakes and had eight tiers. The cake was decorated with cream and white icing using the Joseph Lambeth technique. There were up to 900 individually iced flowers and leaves of 17 different varieties decorated on the cake. A garland design around the middle of the cake matched the architectural garlands decorated around the top of the Picture Gallery in Buckingham Palace, the room in which the cake was displayed during the wedding.
