Carole Middleton

Kate Middleton may currently be in the middle of a long string of official appearances, including yesterday's visit to a children's hospice, but earlier this month she was all about prepping for the arrival of her baby. On April 18, Kate and her mom Carole stopped by the children's store, Blue Almonds, in the Chelsea neighborhood of London, for a little shopping. The duo left the boutique with a woven bassinet that they loaded into a car before getting into a separate vehicle.

Kate only has two months left until her July due date, but before she celebrates the birth of her first child with Prince William, she had another big milestone to mark. Kate and William's second wedding anniversary was yesterday, and we're acknowledging the special occasion with a look at Will and Kate's cutest married moments!

Kate Middleton turned 31 in style on Wednesday with a visit to London's Royal Albert Hall to catch a performance of Cirque du Soleil's Kooza. She was joined by her husband, Prince William, and her family including parents Carole and Michael and siblings Pippa and James for the birthday outing. The group sat in the balcony to watch the show. Kate was seen flashing a smile throughout the evening while William cracked a laugh. It was Kate's first public outing in 2013 after she rang in the New Year solo since William was at work performing a helicopter search and rescue. All eyes have been on Kate since she announced her pregnancy last month, and it was recently revealed that if she gives birth to a baby girl, the child will have the title of "princess."

Prince William and his wife Kate spent the last week together on vacation with her family in Mustique. The couple spent a few days on the West Indies island with her sister Pippa, brother James, and parents Michael and Carole. William apparently met up with the group after the Middletons started their fun. He arrived, however, ahead of the celebrations for Carole Middleton's 57th birthday. The Middletons' getaway included plenty of beach time and group lunches by the water. The girls were able to wear bikinis and sit in the sun, while James snapped photos from his deck chair. William and Kate stayed at Aurora House, a retreat owned by their friend Mark Cecil, according to reports.

William, Kate, and Pippa wrapped things up and left Mustique for the Hewanorra airport in nearby St. Lucia, where they caught a British Airways flight. They headed back to London so William could prepare for his deployment to the Falkland Islands. He was scheduled to begin a six-week tour of duty Wednesday. Along with other pilots, William will be tasked with manning search-and-rescue helicopters.

Pippa Middleton was in red again today for a visit to Wimbledon in England with her boyfriend Alex Loudon. It seems the pair are going strong despite recent rumors of a breakup. There was a round of Pippa Middleton and Prince Harry dating rumors after the royal split from his own significant other Chelsy Davy, but those stories are apparently not true at all. Pippa enjoyed a day of tennis with Alex after her sister, Kate Middleton, attended Wimbledon earlier this week with her husband, Prince William. The Middletons love the sport, since Pippa also trekked to Paris last month for the French Open. Pippa's an all-around athlete herself, having completed in both a duathlon and triathlon since her sister's wedding on April 29.

Princess Beatrice donned her latest unique hat this afternoon to join the racing fun during Ladies' Day at Ascot in England. She was there along with her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and her aunt, Princess Anne. The sporting day was also opened to Kate Middleton's parents Carole and Michael Middleton, who shared a carriage ride with the Queen to the royal enclosure. Elizabeth Hurley also dressed up to make a cameo at the exclusive event. Princess Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie were there at the start of Ascot over the weekend, though Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William haven't made a cameo. William and Kate have been plenty busy with their own social schedules, from Prince Philip's 90th birthday celebrations to the Ark dinner, the Trooping the Colour, and the annual Garter Service at St. George's Chapel. Their packed itinerary will continue with an upcoming official visit to North America.

It's Ladies' Day at the Royal Ascot, and the royal women were out in full force! Kate and Pippa's mom Carole Middleton was joined by Queen Elizabeth and her granddaughter Princess Beatrice. The annual horse races attended by Britain's who's who is celebrating 300 years this year, and even Elizabeth Hurley made an appearance in her fascinator. Click through to see the beautiful and extravagant toppers from the day!

Pippa Middleton wore a Maje dress and L.K. Bennett shoes to join her parents, Carole and Michael, last night for a beach-themed party at London's Goring Hotel. The spot was memorably where Kate Middleton spent her last night as a single woman before her marriage to Prince William on April 29. The Middletons used the Goring as their home base during the royal wedding festivities, and Prince Harry even came over following the reception at Buckingham Palace to keep the afterparty fun going. Pippa is back in the city doing her usual workweek routine after wrapping up her latest exciting weekend. Fresh off jaunts to Madrid and Paris, Pippa spent Saturday completing a triathlon in the English town of Woodstock! Kate Middleton wasn't able to join the family fun last night, but she was in the public eye to attend the Epsom Derby with Prince William just a few days ago. She and William are gearing up for another big outing tomorrow evening. They're expected to attend the annual Ark dinner, held on a field near Kensington Palace, where William is to announce the new project from his Prince's Foundation and guests will let loose to tunes provided by DJ Mark Ronson.

Rumor has it that Michael and Carole Middleton are looking to upsize their home, and they've been looking at a historic 14th-century home, called Bolehyde Manor, which once belonged to Camilla Parker Bowles — before she was given the title of Duchess of Cornwall. The stately manor near Chippenham, Wiltshire, which currently belongs to the home of the Earl and Countess Cairns, has eight bedrooms (plus three in the guest house), a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a pear orchard, and sits on 70 acres of beautifully manicured grounds. From the looks of it, the estate certainly seems like a lovely place to entertain Kate's new in-laws, especially since Camilla used to live here!

Let's take a look at this could-be Middleton home . . . and tell me what you think of it!
