Duchess Catherine
The Duchess of Cambridge has been shopping for her nursery ahead of the arrival of her and Prince William's first child.
Pregnant Catherine was spotted shopping at high-end fabric and soft furnishings store Bernard Thorp in Chelsea, London, last Tuesday (04.06.13)
The 31-year-old royal - who is believed to be due to give birth on July 13 - spent 45 minutes in the shop looking for items for her baby's nursery at Kensington Palace and picked out a number of beige and brown fabrics, giving no clue to the sex of her child.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "Kate was fascinated by all the designs and picked out two. She had very definite ideas about what she liked.
"The duchess was charming and so lovely. She didn't put on any airs or graces. She said she's got so many ideas after coming in."
Her shopping trip came just hours after she joined William - the second in line to the British throne - and approximately 2,000 other guests at Westminster Abbey to mark the 60th anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, her husband's grandmother.
Catherine - previously known as Kate Middleton - has just a handful or royal engagements left before she starts her maternity leave.
On Thursday (13.06.13), Catherine - who was hospitalised with acute morning sickness at the very start of her pregnancy - will name a new Princess cruise liner Royal Princess at Southampton Docks and will smash a bottle of champagne over the hull to launch the ship.
She will then attend the Trooping the Colour ceremony on Saturday (15.06.13) before attending the Garter lunch - her husband William, 30, is a Knight of the Garter - at Windsor on Monday (17.06.13).
