Princess Charlotte

by

Following the birth of their second child, they've been very much hiding out in their country abode, Amner Hall.

However, it seems that our favourite royal pairing, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are about to make an unofficial appearance this week – namely at Wimbledon.

Wills and Kate have visited the All England Tennis club on many occasions over the past number of years, sitting in the Royal Box (natch) on Centre Court.

In fact, aside from the tennis itself, Kate’s court-side fashion is pretty much the most important thing going on at Wimbledon this fortnight.

The British queen-in-waiting, who gave birth to Princess Charlotte on May 2, was in attendance when Scotland's Andy Murray won an Olympic gold medal on Wimbledon turf in 2012. And she visited several times last year – when defending champion Mr Murray lost in the quarter finals.

So with the Grand Slam tournament beginning this week, we've decided to look back at some of Kate’s most stylish Wimbledon moments:

 

In this white lace wonder by Australian designer, Zimmerman, Catherine really stood out from the crowd at last year's competition

 

Also last year, we love this pop of colour from designer Jonathan Saunders and would like to see something similar for the '15 tournament

 

Kate looks effortlessly elegant in this Alexander McQueen dress while cheering on Andy Murray in 2012

PS… We also need the Cambridges to go along because their matching facials expressions are seriously adorable!

 

OK, so did they rehearse these?

Today is a seriously exciting day for our favourite royal dad, Prince William.

Not only is he celebrating his second Father’s Day with his son Prince George, he is also celebrating his first Father’s Day with his new born daughter, Princess Charlotte.

And that’s not all, it is also the Duke of Cambridge’s 33rd birthday. If that’s not an excuse to celebrate we don’t know what is!

We have no doubt that this year the royal family celebrations will be a little more hushed than last year’s.

It was this time last year that we got to see the adorable photos of Prince George cheering on his dad in a polo match.

This was also the first time that we got to see the adorable baby Prince taking his first public steps, holding tentatively on to his mum’s hand all the way. So cute!

While chances of seeing the six week old Princess waddling around are seriously slim, we can at least hope that the family share some celebratory birthday/Father’s Day pics.

After seeing the outrageously adorable photos of two-year-old George at last week’s Trooping the Color ceremony, we are just dying for more!

She (not to mention the adorable Prince George) wowed yesterday at Queen Elizabeth's birthday celebrations in London.

Yes, there was no denying that the Duchess Of Cambridge, who gave birth to Princess Charlotte on May 2, looked absolutely incredible donning a blue and white floral pattern dress by Catherine Walker.

But earlier today, and decidedly more dressed-down, the 33-year-old really turned heads.

Wearing a striped navy long-sleeved top, navy skinny jeans, and nautical-inspired flats, the Duchess and her husband Prince William attended a charity polo event in Gloucestershire.

​And certainly, a mere six weeks after giving birth, she has regained her pre-pregnancy already.

Kate was kept busy running after an active George, who turns two next month.

The toddler looked stylish, complementing his mother's attire in navy, knee-length shorts, a white collared t-shirt, and a blue buttoned cardigan.

Making it a real family affair, also in attendance at the Beaufort Polo Club soiree was Prince William's cousins Peter and Zara Phillips, who turned up with their respective spouses Autumn Phillips and Mike Tindall, as well as Princes Charles and Harry.

In fact, William, 32, and Harry, 30, even got in on the action, taking to their steeds to take part in a couple of the polo matches – much to the delight of the crowds.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Kate and Wills have now hired a new housekeeper for their rural abode, Amner Hall.

US Weeky confirms that 33-year-old Sadie Rice, who previously worked for Crown Prince Haakon and his wife Mette-Marit in Oslo, has already taken up her position.

Her duties will include running the house, cleaning silver and glassware, being in charge of household supplies, preparing and cooking meals, taking care of the royal couple's wardrobes, and caring for the family's dog Lupo.

We just can’t get enough of this little guy!

Prince George has done it again. As well as grabbing everyone’s attention after the birth of his baby sister just six weeks ago, he has now stolen the spotlight at The Queen’s birthday celebrations.

All eyes were set to be on Kate Middleton, who was making her first public appearance since giving birth in May. But her two-year-old son is the one who has caught the public’s admiration, yet again.

The young Prince was carried by his father, Prince William, out onto the Buckingham Palace balcony, as part of the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony.

The adorable heir pointed excitedly down at the crowd, while Kate gave him a smile from behind William’s shoulder, instigating the toddler to try out his royal wave.

The ever so charming 22-month-old played with his dad’s uniform throughout the appearance, totally wooing the crowd. And we all melted when he reached for William’s nose and landed his little finger in his dad’s mouth.

Meanwhile, Kate looked as radiant as ever in a blue Catherine Walker coat dress and a hat by Lock & Co.

It doesn’t exactly come as a shock that the 33-year-old Duchess of Cambridge looked so well only 6 weeks after the birth of her daughter. It was only 10 hours after the Princess was born that Kate wowed the world by looking like she had just come back from a retreat!

Now all we can do is sit tight and hope that Princess Charlotte gets to make her next public appearance sometime soon as well.

The first official image of the royal cutie Princess Charlotte and her gorgeous big brother, Prince George, has now been released by Kensington Palace.

And suffice to say that we're transfixed by the duo.

The baby girl, who emerged into the world on May 2, can be seen nestled contently in her brother's arms.

Significantly, we can also see her blue eyes for the first time. Her hair is sandy brown.

The shot was taken in mid-May when Charlotte was still just two weeks old by the children's mother, the Duchess Of Cambridge. The family was at home in Anmer Hall at the time.

Both are largely clad in pure white, though George has a smart blue trim on his shirt. He also sports blue shorts and matching blue knee-socks.

The newest little Cambridge is seen in snug knitwear – reflective, no doubt, of the unseasonable chill of last month.

The Duchess is known to be a keen amateur photographer – and her father, Michael, also took the first official shot of George during the summer of 2013 at the Middleton holding in Bucklebury.

It emerged earlier this week that Charlotte will be christened on Sunday, July 5, by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The event will take place at the small St Mary Magdalene church on her great-grandmother the Queen’s Sandringham estate. The church is also within walking distance of William and Kate’s country abode.

George himself, being directly in-line to the British throne, had a somewhat more elaborate baptism.

Taking place on October 23, 2013 at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in London, the Archbishop Of Canterbury also resided over proceedings.

Just 22 guests were in attendance, made up of four members of the Middleton family, the child’s seven godparents and their spouses, and senior royals.

Princess Charlotte will also wear the same gown that her brother wore before her.

Modelled on a version donned by generations of British royals since the Victoria era, the current robe was actually designed by Angela Kelly in 2004.

The Queen had asked her senior dresser to create it as she deemed the original to be too fragile for further use.

For George’s big day, Kate wore a stunning Alexander McQueen jacket and matching knee-length skirt in a gold-tinged cream hue. 

She completed her look with a co-ordinating pillbox hat by Jane Taylor millinery, and Russell & Bromley nude court shoes in patent leather.

Prince George turns two on July 22 – and it is rumoured that his parents are already planning a garden fete-style bash at Anmer Hall to mark the occasion.

After just four weeks of maternity leave, Kate Middleton is looking set to return to her royal duties.

With the Queen’s birthday parade looming on 13th June, it has been reported that the Queen is expecting the Duchess of Cambridge to be there.

This four weeks maternity leave is even shorter than the 39 days the Duchess took after the birth of her son, Prince George, in 2013.

A source close to the royals told OK US that the Queen “thinks a month is more than enough time for Kate to take off before she should return to performing her royal duties.”

This will be Kate’s first public event since the birth of her daughter, Princess Charlotte. The whole world will be watching and we already can’t wait to see what elegant ensemble she will be donning this time.

Meanwhile it’s already business as usual for William who jetted of to Switzerland last week for his first public duty since the birth of his daughter.

Four weeks isn’t a long time but we are already dying to see some more family snaps now that Kate is almost back!

At last! Prince Harry has been introduced to the royal cutie, his niece Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

With the Duchess going over her due date by about ten days, her brother-in-law missed the opportunity to meet the newest addition to the family before he departed for Australia and New Zealand for a month-long military stint.

Charlotte, who was only seen in public on the day of her birth – May 2, is now three weeks old. Harry reportedly visited her on Friday at Anmer Hall, Wills and Kate’s sprawling 10-bed country abode in Norfolk.

At the Chelsea Flower Show last week the prince was asked by the BBC when he’d finally meet Charlotte. He replied: “We’ll wait and see. That still hasn’t happened yet. I only got back yesterday afternoon.

“Time will tell when I have a chance.”

The day after her birth, he had said in a statement: “She is absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to meet her.”

During his time in Australia, the young royal was inundated with gifts for the new baby. “I have been given a hell of a lot of cuddly toys,” he told the gathered media in Sydney earlier this month. 

Harry, 30, clearly adores kids and it is likely that his position as favourite uncle, a title he’s worked hard to earn since the birth of Prince George two years ago, is secure with Princess Charlotte.

Indeed, while in New Zealand, Prince Harry admitted that he’s eager to settle down and start his own family.

And yesterday, Harry had yet more good news – namely a Most Valuable Player Award, which was presented to him during a polo match held at Cirencester, 150km north-west of London.

Princess Charlotte may only be a few weeks old, but the Duchess of Cambridge's daughter has received some incredible gifts from all around the world.

This week Prince Charles received a hand-woven rattle for his granddaughter from talented basketmaker Ciaran Hogan. Based in Spiddal, Co Galway, he crafted the item from willow. 

However it is far from the only unique gift the princess has received. Here is a round up of all the best gifts bestowed on Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

1. Israeli president Reuven Rivlin has sent the couple a little pink dress embroidered with the words, "From Israel with love" for their daughter. It also has a gold brooch with a heart-shaped charm and a Middle Eastern sign meaning "protection."

2. The Natural Sapphire Company in America has announced that they will be gifting baby Charlotte a whopping €40,000 baby rattle.

3. The Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott sent a blanket made from Tasmanian merino wool  and emroidered with the Australian emblem, the wattle to mark the royal birth.

It was made at Waverly Woollen Mills, Tasmania, Australia's oldest weaving mill. 

He also said the government would make a €9,000 donation to the Healesville Sanctuary, in Victoria, to support the organisation's work with the Mountain Pygmy-possum.

"The Mountain Pygmy-possum is Australia’s only hibernating marsupial. There are fewer than 2,000 left in the wild," explained Abbott.

"I hope one day the princess can visit Australia and hold a Mountain Pygmy-possum herself," he added. 

4. The First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon is sending along a hat for the newest heir to the throne, to "make sure that Princess Charlotte is kept warm in her early years."

A Glasgow-based firm Wonky Woolies will create the hat, which will feature a "delicate tartan pattern." 

The company is also creating a second hat just for Prince George of Cambridge.

"Of course, the birth of Princess Charlotte was also a big day for Prince George, who became a big brother, and we will make sure he has his own Wonky Woolies hat so there's no headwear-related sibling rivalry," explained Sturgeon.

5. Canada have presented the princess with a snowsuit and a donation to vaccination and immunisation efforts in her name. 

6. Princess Charlotte's first fashion statement was the bonnet she wore as Kate and William first appeared with the newborn from the Lindo Wing. It had been purchased at an 80-year-old boutique baby shop, called Irulea, in San Sebastian, northern Spain, from the owner Ayajo Villar.

​7. While in New Zealand, Harry has received gifts for his niece: a cuddly toy and a babygro in the colours of New Zealand’s top Rugby Union team the Wellington Hurricanes. Aswell as this, the princess will receive a children's book when Harry arrives home.

8. Kate Middleton's sister Pippa may have given the princess the most bizarre present of all: a supply of biodegradable nappies from Geneva, Switzerland. The natural fibres mean they don't end up in landfill heaps. Good on ya Pippa!

Prince George received 774 gifts last year, 603 of the presents were from Australia alone.

The items greatly varied from a polo mallet, a leather flying jacket and a teddy bear from US president Barack Obama.

Duchess Kate is well used to having the eyes of the world evaluate her every move, not to mention assess her every style choice.

And now it seems that her newborn daughter, Princess Charlotte, has been caught out making her very first fashion blunder – at the tender age of one-day!

The royal cutie was barely out the doors of the famed Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in London when eagle-eyed observers spotted the slip-up.

Apparently the white knitted bonnet little Charlotte was wearing at the time was put on… the wrong way around. Oh no!

The hat had been purchased at Irulea, an 80-year-old boutique baby shop in San Sebastian in northern Spain, and owner Ayajo Villar has now confirmed the mishap. “Yes she is wearing it backwards – the part that surrounds the face should be on the neck,” she told PEOPLE.

The bonnet is a gift from George’s Spanish nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, but seemingly in the excitement of her birth, Charlotte’s parents struggled to position it correctly on her head.

Still, we reckon the little princess is entirely forgiven – and considering mums and dads globally are clamouring to recreate the newborn Charlotte’s look, she may even have started a brand new trend for backwards bonnets.

She wowed the world by looking almost impossibly well-groomed and fresh-faced less than 12hours after giving birth to her second child.

At 6 o’clock in the evening standing on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in London on Saturday following the 8.30am birth of Princess Charlotte, Kate Middleton was perfectly radiant. And despite her slim figure, bespoke Jenny Packham dress, and, of course, her gorgeous newborn daughter, the Duchess Of Cambridge’s magnificent hair certainly didn’t go unnoticed.

Rumours have long been abound that the royal relies on strategically-placed hair extensions to give her own natural locks a boost; this weekend will certainly do little to placate the conversation. Before emerging into public, she was looked after by well-to-do hairdresser Amanda Cook Tucker, who was apparently spotted entering the maternity hospital at lunchtime on Saturday, armed with appliances and products.

But speculation is now mounting that even even the best professionals in the business would struggle to create a similarly full, glossy mane without a little helping hand.

Speculation as to whether the Duchess’s hair is entirely her own has circulated since her November 2010 engagement, but understandably neither she nor Kensington Palace has ever commented on the matter and she continues to ignite a serious dose of hair-envy in millions of women globally. 

“It’s impossible to say for certain unless you’re actually handling her hair,” Gold Fever’s Katie Jane Goldin, whose clients include Rosanna Davison, Georgia Salpa, and Roz Purcell, explains to SHEmazing! “But to have a such an incredible, gorgeous mane without some help from well-positioned extensions would be extremely rare.”

She adds: “So either she’s struck the hair-lottery – or she’s been quite clever in how she uses enhancements.

“These days, the best hair extensions look and feel exactly like your own natural strands do. You’d actually be surprised at how many people from all walks of life wear them.”
