The Cambridges join the Queen for 9/11 memorial service and What Kate might be wearing for Spring!

It has been confirmed that the Cambridge's are currently in Scotland with the Queen. They attended Sunday service at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral with The Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Harry. William and Kate recently spent a weekend at Birkhall and were joined by the Middletons. The Queen is clearly eager to get to know Kate, This is evident by two visits in such quick succession. There are no new photos of the Duchess unfortunately. I expect we shall see something soon.........


Continuing on with the 'Kate report' from New York fashion week. Designer Jenny Packham has unveiled her Spring/Summer 2012 collection. The collection included a series of shimmering gowns quite similar to the rose dress Duchess Kate wore to the ARK gala. Packham was best known for bridal wear until Kate began wearing her creations, All of which looked stunning. I think we will definitely see one of these dresses on the Duchess within the next six months. One of my favourite collections displayed at New York fashion week!
As you all know I think red is Kate's colour, Any of these gowns would looks stunning on the Duchess!



I could very easily see Kate choosing one of these for another gala event. Adore the third one.


Duchess Kate wore the primrose Jenny Packham dress in Canada, I think the lemon and white dress could be something Kate would choose.


The moment I saw this white lace dress, I instantly thought of Kate's beige lace Collette Dinnigan dress. She most recently wore it to Zara Philips wedding.

William and Kate Spend Easter in Scotland, Upcoming Plans + More

William and Kate spent their first Easter as a married couple with Prince Charles and Camilla in Scotland. The foursome attended a church service in Crathie Kirk, a small parish church in the village of Crathie. A Royal aide said 'It was a beautiful service. Afterwards, they were back at Balmoral for Sunday lunch'. A very low quality photo of the Royals leaving the service was taken. Duchess Kate appears to be wearing a plum coat.

Crathie Kirk is known for being a regular place of worship for the Royal family when they are holidaying in the nearby Balmoral. The British Royal family attended the Sunday service at the Church after the death of Princess Diana on the morning of August 31 1997. The public were shocked and appalled that Diana was not mentioned at the service.

I was initially surprised William and Kate chose not to attend the annual service with Her Majesty at Windsor. No doubt they enjoyed a private weekend with Charles and Camilla at the scenic Balmoral.

It does seem like quite a while since Kate's last engagement, however we are in for a treat this month. The always informative Royal Reporter Richard Palmer revealed William and Kate are expected to have three engagements later this month. We should hear details shortly. He also tweeted that Kate is aiming to choose four new patronages by early next year. Looking forward to the upcoming engagements!

As someone who is extremely close with my sisters, I've always admired the bond Kate and Pippa share. Despite Kate's new role as a Royal, spending time with Pippa is obviously a major priority. Kate is regularly seen visiting her old flat in Chelsea for lunch with Pippa. She most recently spotted visiting her younger sister last week after returning from France. A source said 

"Kate drives over and parks outside and brings her two security guards with her. Pippa likes to have her sister over. They had lunch last week just after they got back from Skiing in France".

 Another cover for Kate this week. Lovely to see her in the centre amongst the Hollywood elite!
