The new baby Princess was born at 8:34 this morning, and weighed a healthy 8lbs 3oz. William brought Prince George to visit his new sister earlier, and the new family are now home at Kensington Palace tonight.

The baby has not yet been named, and all bets are on Alice, although I favour Victoria or Charlotte. Baby Cambridge wrapped in a white super fine merino wool shawl by G.H. Hurt & Son, which you can buy from here.

Catherine wore a bespoke silk Jenny Packham dress, in a yellow floral border print, with Jimmy Choo 'Gilbert' shoes and her Annoushka Favourites Pearl earrings. She looked gorgeous!

"Catherine's Cafe' Royale, is the latest venture of Lorraine Hill, owner.

My constant interest in the royal family and then of course, the fantastic wedding of Catherine and Wills, just made me even more enthusiastic. We are shown the beautiful clothes Kate wears and then where we might be able to buy something else at a less expensive price. Then there is the jewelry that goes with it as she shares this week the work of Daniela Baker of TudorShoppe. She is an artist with hands that make Kate look alike jewelry that you feel like a princess. And of course, all her other gorgeous things.

We read about the personal side of Catherine through the writings of Lorraine that captures our hearts as well. I think of when she showed the lovely pictures of Prince George's christening. The joy showed in Kate's eyes that made me cry. They are so precious. She captured it perfectly with all the photographs. In a lot of ways, through the writings we read, I feel like I open a Christmas package and never know what it is 365 days a year.

The "Royale" keeps my dream going by being able to share all the beautiful day by day duties the royals do in the world and a couple who will rule England one day and to keep these words ongoing for years to come by our dear, Lorraine. Thank you."

Prince William arrives at the Upper Barrakka Gardens Photo: PA

For the last engagement of the tour, William was guest of honour at a garden party to mark the anniversary of the day Malta gained its independence in 1964. The party was in the grounds of British High Commissioner Rob Luke's official residence.

William spoke to expat Peter Robinson, 71, and said that Catherine's condition has slightly improved.

Mr Robinson said: "He was very happy to be here. William told me that Catherine was sad to have missed the trip but we both agreed that the hot weather would have been too much for her.

"I asked how she was doing and he said he spoke to her this morning and she was feeling a little better."

William and Catherine were given gifts from Malta's Prime Minister.

Prince William was gifted a pair of personalised gold cuff links bearing the Maltese cross, while Malta’s First Lady Michelle Muscat had chosena clutch bag from Malta’s leading handbag designer Sunita Mukhi for Catherine. The classic shaped clutch is embellished with Swarovski crystals and the Maltese cross

Clarence House have made an announcement this morning:

"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their second child.

The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.

As with her first pregnancy, The Duchess is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Her Royal Highness will no longer accompany The Duke of Cambridge on their planned engagement in Oxford today. The Duchess of Cambridge is being treated by doctors at Kensington Palace."

William and Catherine were due to travel to the University of Oxford today to open The Dickson Poon University of Oxford China Centre Building.

It is believed that Catherine has not yet passed the 12 week stage of her pregnancy, and so the situation is similar to when she was pregnant with Prince George. I'm hoping that doctors can get the Hyperemesis Gravidarum under control quickly, as it must be miserable for the Duchess.

Many, many congratulations to Catherine and William on their news!

Catherine, Lupo and William returned from a day or two in Norfolk by train, arriving at London's King's Cross Station last Friday.

Catherine was wearing her Barbour 'Defense' jacket (I believe this is now discontinued), Mint Velvet 'Bibi' plimsolls, a brown v-neck sweater, blue plaid shirt and brown baseball cap. She carried two bags, one brown beige 'G' bag she has own for many years by Tods (this appears to be discontinued), the other looks like a leather trimmed canvas tote.

After popping into Harvey Nicholls in Knightsbridge on Wednesday, to pick up some mascara at the Clarins counter, Kate headed up to Norfolk with William, but without Prince George.
The couple were seen on Thursday last week at The Kings Head Hotel, Great Bircham in Norfolk. They were clearly enjoying some one-on-one time alone without their toddler, and were seated at the bar as the restaurant was busy, as reported by the Daily Star Sunday. An anonymous source said:

"All evening, they were holding hands and giggling. Kate kept tousling her hair in a flirty way. Wills couldn't take his eyes off her for the whole meal. They were really lovey-dovey and they were kissing a lot."

William and Catherine took time to choose their meal, and finally plumped for a fish dish of grilled fillet of black bream with olives and tomato sauce, followed by a dessert of vanilla ice cream, which they shared.

Catherine was wearing a black round neck sweater/jumper with what appears to be a blue or grey floral shirt, blue jeans and her Dune 'Imperia' wedges.

Kate Middleton Shops at Bicester Designer Outlet Village

Catherine has been spotted several times at Bicester Designer Outlet Village, situated on the outskirts of Bicester in Oxfordshire ( Bicester is pronounced 'Bisster').

Having visited the Village myself, I can absolutely see why Catherine would put it at the top of her shopping destinations, because as Catherine has said herself; everything is contained in a small area.

The village is a purpose built open air pedestrian shopping haven, with 135 shops and restaurants, and the discounts can be up to 70%. It is located just off the M40 motorway and is only an hours drive from her parents in Bucklebury and an hour and a half from Kensington Palace.

Entering the Village from the car park, you immediately see a number of Catherine's favourite designers, all within a few yards of each other :

Annoushka, LK Bennett, Jimmy Choo, Temperley London, Alexander McQueen, Diane von Furstenberg
and Mulberry. Also situated in the Village are Jack Wills, Matthew Williamson, Anya Hindmarch, Burberry, Rupert Sanderson and Tods.

Reiss

According to a shop assistant at the Reiss outlet store, Catherine regularly visits the store for bargains, leaving her security detail outside.

Missoni

Catherine purchased their blue tweed coat at Bicester at a discount in 2012, and wore it to Nottingham in 2012, and to a friend's wedding in 2014.

Missoni

Lacoste

On 10th August 2014, Catherine was seen at Bicester in Lacoste looking at pyjamas for Prince George. Maybe she was looking a for a striped baby sleepsuit like this:

Lacoste

Ralph Lauren

Catherine visited their store on 10th, and on previous visits is reported to have purchased silk dresses, a wool dress and a bikini. Catherine also purchased some bathroom accessories on 10th, and although we don't know which store she purchased them from, they could be these from Ralph Lauren Home. Only a couple of stores in the Village sell homewares, so my guess is Catherine shopped in Ralph Lauren Home.

Ralph Lauren Home

Gucci

Catherine was seen browsing in Gucci in August, but we don't know if she purchased anything. We have seen Catherine carrying the Gucci 'Horsebit' clutch Christmas 2012, so maybe she was shopping for a new bag?

I purchased some half price Lauren by Ralph Lauren Slim Ankle Trousers in Khaki from Bicester Village on 1st August.

Last week, Catherine and George were spotted at the Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens. According to The Express newspaper,

"It was lovely seeing them play together in the sand. They stayed for about 15 minutes,"
"They had three protection officers with them but Kate seemed oblivious to anyone except her gorgeous baby enjoying himself."

A huge wooden pirate ship forms the centrepiece of the playground, which was opened on 30th June 2000. From the Royal Parks website:

"There is a sensory trail, teepees, a beach around the pirate ship and various toys and play sculptures; all set against a lush backdrop of trees and plants. There's plenty of seating so the grownups can relax too.

The design has created an area where less able and able-bodied children can play together and seeks to provide for the physical, creative, social and educational development of your children. Inspired by the stories of Peter Pan, the playground encourages children to explore and follow their imaginations, learning whilst they play."

My constant interest in the royal family and then of course, the fantastic wedding of Catherine and Wills, just made me even more enthusiastic. We are shown the beautiful clothes Kate wears and then where we might be able to buy something else at a less expensive price. Then there is the jewelry that goes with it as she shares this week the work of Daniela Baker of TudorShoppe. She is an artist with hands that make Kate look alike jewelry that you feel like a princess. And of course, all her other gorgeous things.

We read about the personal side of Catherine through the writings of Lorraine that captures our hearts as well. I think of when she showed the lovely pictures of Prince George's christening. The joy showed in Kate's eyes that made me cry. They are so precious. She captured it perfectly with all the photographs. In a lot of ways, through the writings we read, I feel like I open a Christmas package and never know what it is 365 days a year.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry visited the Tower of London's 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' poppy installation in the Tower of London's moat. They each planted their own poppy to commemorate 100 years since WWI.

The unveiling of the art installation commemorates 100 years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War. Ceramic artist Paul Cummins and stage designer Tom Piper have created a stunning spectacle of ceramic poppies, that will grow over the Summer until the last poppy will symbolically be planted on 11 November 2014. Each of the 888,246 poppies will be available to buy from today at £25 plus P&P.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry visited Belgium to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. They arrived at L'Abbaye Saint-Laurent, where they were received by His Majesty King Philippe of the Belgians and Her Majesty Queen Mathilde. The abbey was made into a military hospital in 1830, and in 1940 it was used by the Red Cross to aid families of soldiers, prisoners of war and victims of the bombing during the occupation of Belgium.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge then attended a Ceremony at the Cointe Inter-allied Memorial, Liège. On 4 August 1914, the German army crossed the river Meuse just north of Liège and advanced into Belgium. The Belgian army provided stiff resistance and bought time for their French and British allies to assemble and take up positions. The Memorial was publicly financed by the Allied nations at the initiative of the Interallied Federation of Ex-Service Men.

Afterwards, William, Catherine and Harry will attended a Reception at Mons Town Hall, and a Commemoration Event at Saint Symphorien Military Cemetery.

"0 Cimetière militaire et mémorial britannique de Saint-Symphorien (1)" by Jean-Pol GRANDMONT - Self-photographed. Licensed under CC BY 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons.

William gave a speech:

"Your Majesties, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Ministers, Ambassadors, distinguished ladies and gentlemen.
In the summer of 1914, the Austrian writer, Stefan Zveig, was on holiday in Belgium near Ostend. He describes how people from all over Europe were enjoying themselves together, and comments that a great deal of German was spoken because holidaymakers from the Rhineland liked to come to the Belgian beaches.

Just days later, this carefree harmony was shattered by the outbreak of the First World War. During four terrible years, those same Europeans were engulfed by killing and destruction. Among the very first victims were the people of Belgium, whose resistance was as gallant as their suffering was great.
The magnificent war memorial where we gather today honours the city of Liège and its people for their courageous resistance in 1914. The memorial – and this ceremony – also honours all Belgians, who fought, suffered and died in the Great War.
Your great sacrifice and your contribution to eventual victory was pivotal. Belgium’s resistance in 1914 allowed the Allies to re-group and draw up the battle lines which became the infamous trenches. These trenches have left an indelible scar on your land – they speak of the horrors of war but also of your forebears' courage.
That courage was shown not just by your Armed Forces but by your civilian populations. I know that in the coming months, you will be commemorating the massacre at Dinan and the burning of the great library at Lervan.
Many nations here today, the United Kingdom among them, owe you a great debt of gratitude for your fortitude and resistance.
This evening, at Saint Symphorien cemetery in Mons, Catherine and I will visit a site which was donated by a Belgian landowner to the German Army so that soldiers from both sides could be buried near where they fell. Belgium’s commitment to honour the war dead continues to this day. In Ypres, Belgian volunteers have played the Last Post every night since 1928 – except during the Second World War.
Your Majesties, if I may say so, Belgium's steadfast remembrance of your war dead, and ours, is a great credit to your nation. On behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, head of the Commonwealth, thank you for the honour you do us all.
In Europe, the transition from war to lasting peace has taken time. Edith Cavell was a British nurse who saved soldiers from each side. On the night before she faced a German firing squad, she said: “I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.”
It took another terrible war to learn the truth of her words, and even today we continue to learn that lesson. The events in Ukraine testify to the fact that instability continues to stalk our continent.
The peace that we here enjoy together as allies and partners does not simply mean no more bloodshed – it means something deeper than that. The fact that the presidents of Germany and Austria are here today, and that other nations – then enemies – are here too, bears testimony to the power of reconciliation.
Not only is war between us unthinkable, but former adversaries have worked together for three generations to spread and entrench democracy, prosperity and the rule of law across Europe, and to promote our shared values around the world.
We were enemies more than once in the last century, and today we are friends and allies. We salute those who died to give us our freedom. We will remember them."

Watch the video:

Catherine was wearing a new cream coat, probably a bespoke version of the Alexander McQueen Flared Coat, with a Jane Taylor 'Fleur-Ruffle' beret and LK Bennett 'Sledge' court shoes. Her earrings were Annoushka 'Favourites' pearl earrings, and she carried an Alexander McQueen suede box clutch (no longer available) with bespoke fastening.

Catherine, William and Harry joined in a game of Three Tins today, on opposing teams. The game involves knocking down three tins with a ball before running into the middle of the square, rebuilding them and jumping over them three times. The trio also played ball games with the children on the athlete village green, and Catherine was still wearing her heels! Then they met Usain Bolt and Sir Chris Hoy, before taking a car to the airport.

Catherine was wearing her Smythe 'One Button' blazer (previously worn at the SportsAid workshop), Stuart Weitzman 'Corkswoon' wedges, and Stella McCartney 'Ridley' dress (sold out and previously seen in Canberra). Catherine accessorised with her Kiki McDonough citrine earrings and Asprey 'Woodland Collection' charm necklace.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the men's final at Wimbledon between Federer and Djokovic today. Catherine's sisters and parents were also attending.

Catherine was wearing a Jonathan Saunders 'Evelyn' printed cotton-blend dress we first saw in the Solomon Islands in 2012 (sold out), and although I can't be 100% sure I'm guessing her LK Bennett 'Sledge' court shoes and matching 'Avona' clutch.She accessorised with her Givenchy SGV773 sunglasses and Kiki McDonough green amethyst earrings, and carried a cream pashmina.

You may notice that Catherine has had some layers cut into her hair since Wednesday, and I think they look really pretty.

"Catherine's Cafe' Royale, is the latest venture of Lorraine Hill, owner.

My constant interest in the royal family and then of course, the fantastic wedding of Catherine and Wills, just made me even more enthusiastic. We are shown the beautiful clothes Kate wears and then where we might be able to buy something else at a less expensive price. Then there is the jewelry that goes with it as she shares this week the work of Daniela Baker of TudorShoppe. She is an artist with hands that make Kate look alike jewelry that you feel like a princess. And of course, all her other gorgeous things.

We read about the personal side of Catherine through the writings of Lorraine that captures our hearts as well. I think of when she showed the lovely pictures of Prince George's christening. The joy showed in Kate's eyes that made me cry. They are so precious. She captured it perfectly with all the photographs. In a lot of ways, through the writings we read, I feel like I open a Christmas package and never know what it is 365 days a year.

The "Royale" keeps my dream going by being able to share all the beautiful day by day duties the royals do in the world and a couple who will rule England one day and to keep these words ongoing for years to come by our dear, Lorraine. Thank you."

Catherine is patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospice (EACH) and she released a statement this week in support of Children's Hospice Week:

"Around the clock support is crucial for children receiving palliative care. They and their families often need help every hour of every day, both in hospices and at home.

As Patron of EACH, I have seen first-hand this remarkable and varied work and just how vital the support of staff and volunteers can be to the families of children with life limiting conditions.

It has been wonderful to see the fantastic public support for Children's Hospice Week over the last few days. Please continue supporting your local children's hospice in whatever way you can."

Catherine recently visited the Treehouse hospice to learn more about the services that are required for families with seriously ill children, and especially the role that volunteers can play for children's hospices, which is an issue she is exploring further with her Foundation.

Catherine wore a Diane von Furstenberg Paisley 'Duenne' wrap dress in silk jersey (no longer available) which she wore previously in 2012.

Kate Middleton Visits Grandmother's Workplace at Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park Photo: Draco2008

History of Bletchley Park From the Bletchley Park website:

"The arrival of ‘Captain Ridley's Shooting Party’ at a mansion house in the Buckinghamshire countryside in late August 1938 was to set the scene for one of the most remarkable stories of World War Two. They had an air of friends enjoying a relaxed weekend together at a country house. They even brought with them one of the best chefs at the Savoy Hotel to cook their food. But the small group of people who turned up at Bletchley Park were far from relaxed. They were members of MI6, and the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), a secret team of individuals including a number of scholars turned Codebreakers. Their job; to see whether Bletchley Park would work as a wartime location, well away from London, for intelligence activity by GC&CS as well as elements of MI6.
The GC&CS mission was to crack the Nazi codes and ciphers. The most famous of the cipher systems to be broken at Bletchley Park was the Enigma. There were also a large number of lower-level German systems to break as well as those of Hitler's allies. At the start of the war in September 1939 the codebreakers returned to Bletchey Park to begin their war-winning work in earnest."

"The transformation of Bletchley Park, restoring it to its World War Two glory, is now complete. The £8 million, Heritage Lottery Funded restoration project has seen more building work on the site than at any time since 1944, at the peak of war.
The work carried out over the last year allows visitors to experience what it was like for the Codebreakers working at Government Code and Cypher School during WW2. It has turned derelict buildings which were almost lost to history entirely into a fitting, permanent tribute to the thousands of men and women whose hard work, diligence and innovation helped shorten the war and changed the way we all live today."

HRH The Duchess of Cambridge visited to formally mark the completion of this first phase of the restoration of Bletchley Park. Her paternal grandmother, Valerie Glassborow, was a "Duty Officer" at Bletchley during the Second World War, and worked in Hut 16. During her visit, the Duchess viewed the exhibitions and demonstrations, and met the design and management team and supporters who worked to deliver the project.

Before leaving she was invited to plant a tree to commemorate the visit and the completed restoration.

Catherine was wearing an Alexander McQueen silk georgette blouse and navy wool crepe skirt (previously worn on a visit to Birmingham in 2011) which are no longer available, Alexander McQueen navy suede court shoes and Russell & Bromley 'Muse' clutch. She accessorised with her sapphire and diamond earrings.

Princes William and Harry were playing on opposing teams for the annual Jerudong Trophy Polo Match, at Cirencester Polo Club. The trophy is an annual event held to raise money for good causes. The polo season is in full swing, with matches and after-parties held at clubs around the UK.(I was at a polo party last night, hence the lateness of the post.)

Catherine and Prince George mad a surprise appearance as spectators at the match, and George even had a go at kicking a ball!

Catherine was wearing her Me and Em Breton Top (first seen in Aukland New Zealand) with jeans and her Sebago 'Bala' boat shoes. She accessorised with her Givenchy SGV773 sunglasses.

Prince George was wearing Neck and Neck red stripe overalls, Rachel Riley T-bar shoes in navy with navy socks and a white polo shirt.
