For whatever reason, we don?t have access to the first photos of Duchess Kate and Prince William in Singapore ? you can see some of them at What Kate Wore and LaineyGossip. For the first appearance, Kate wore a beige-y, floral-patterned, three-quarter-sleeved Jenny Packham dress with a knee-length, full skirt which looked okay on her. She also wore her hair half-way back. So that she could wear her hair down for the evening appearance, probably. Because if it?s one think Kate loves, it?s wearing her hair down in a typically ?daytime? style for an evening event.
So these are photos from Kate and Will?s arrival at the State Dinner hosted by the president of Singapore. Kate?s dress is Prabal Gurung, and I would definitely consider this outside of her normal style comfort zone. I don?t have any memory of Kate ever wearing Gurung before, so this might be a first. As for the dress? am I alone in thinking that a State Dinner might have demanded a full-length gown rather than a cocktail dress? That being said, I do like the dress just because it?s a different look than we?ve ever seen on her. I?m not crazy about the Rorschach pattern, but it?s interesting and I love the purple.

There are few things that I love more than hearing that Prince William and Duchess Kate have gone on yet another vacation. I actually have to give them some credit ? they haven?t really gone on a proper holiday in MONTHS. Considering they spent nine years of their (off-and-on) courtship vacationing an average of 10 times a year, and considering how much ?down time? and ?vacation time? they?ve had already in their first year and a half of marriage, it is notable when they do NOT go on vacation for a while. They had a really busy summer, what with the Queen?s Diamond Jubilee activities and with all of the Olympic and Paralympic events (they were goodwill ambassadors for the Games). So it makes sense that they figured out a way to slip in a quick vacation before they?re set to leave for their epic Asian tour of Epicness (which lasts eight whole days).
This is the romantic French hideaway where William and Kate have been soaking up the sunshine ahead of their forthcoming tour of South East Asia.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge escaped to the idyllic Chateau d’Autet, a historic hunting lodge nestled in Provence’s picturesque Luberon region.
Owned by the Queen’s nephew, Viscount Linley, the 19th century hunting lodge is set in 640 acres of woodland and boasts unspoilt views of fields carpeted with lavender.
The royal couple enjoyed total privacy at Viscount Linley’s holiday home, close to the medieval village of Viens, which is equipped with a heated swimming pool and a tennis court, the Sunday Express reported.
Prince William and his wife are due to fly to Singapore on Tuesday, before travelling on to Malaysia – where Kate is expected to make a speech – the Solomon Islands, and the island of Tuvalu in the Pacific.
The secluded Chateau d’Autet was purchased by Lord Linley and his wife Serena in 1999, after the couple were introduced to the area by Peter Mayle, the author of the bestselling A Year in Provence.
The couple dedicated themselves to lovingly restoring the sprawling chateau, which comprises four properties and can accommodate up to 17 guests.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will no doubt have appreciated the chance to unwind at the French beauty spot, following a whirlwind few weeks in London amid the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

That actually sounds like my kind of vacation ? just hanging out in the country, getting some sleep, eating and maybe going for the occasional swim. Sometimes their vacations sound like so much work, what with all of the sports and skiing and such. Sometimes it feels like they?ve really made a stronger commitment to having lots of vacations than doing lots work, but? I don?t know. Maybe that?s changing. They got a lot of criticism earlier this year when it seemed like they were on holiday for about a month, and since then, it really has seemed like they were actively trying to look like they were putting in more public work. Still, I think it?s interesting how much time William gets off from his military work ? not only is getting time off for his royal duties, but he also gets an extensive vacation package. It would be fascinating to see how many days a year he?s actually on base in Wales.

Is anyone else kind of Olympic?d out? I am. I?m still watching, of course, but it?s not like I?m going to stay up until midnight to watch some gymnasts bust their butts. So, like we did yesterday, these are some assorted photos from the Olympics and various Olympic-

Taking to the sea for the latest Olympic Games happenings, Kate Middleton showed her support for Team GB during the Women's Laser Radials race at the Weymouth & Portland Venue at Weymouth Harbour on Monday (August 6).
Peeking through a pair of binoculars, the Duchess of Cambridge bundled up in a Great Britain jacket and blue skinny jeans while she was seen walking around on the top deck of her water vessel and, at one point, even getting behind the wheel.
Proving that she's a good sport, Miss Middleton spent the previous evening greeting four members of USA's gold medal winning Women's Gymnastics team at Greenwich Arena - during which time the 30-year-old extended her congratulations to the starstruck quartet of teens.
Moments after meeting Kate, an ecstatic Aly Raisman tweeted, "Just met princess Kate with @jordyn_wieber @kyla_ross96 & @gabrielledoug she is so beautiful & so nice! I told her I loved her style lol :)."
Teammate Jordyn Wieber added, "Can't believe I just met Princess Kate Middleton! She was in the crowd at the competition and she stood up to talk to us! #honored."

Looking like the princess that she is, Kate Middleton headed over to the Royal Academy of Arts where the Creative Industries Reception was held in London, England on Monday (July 30).
Sporting a huge smile, the Duchess of Cambridge arrived without her husband for the glitzy event wearing a dove grey dress designed by Roksanda Ilincic which she paired with grey suede heels and stunning Kiki McDonough earrings and pinned up her usual flowing locks.
Joined by the president of the Royal Academy, Christopher Lebrun, Kate seemed to enjoy the star-studded bash thrown by The Founders Forum to to promote industry in the UK as part of the British Government?s GREAT Campaign.
Earlier in the day, Kate enjoyed some primo seats at the Evening Cross Country Equestrian competition with Prince William as part of the 2012 London Olympic Games where she looked more casual in a white Team GB shirt paired with a navy blue blazer.

Stepping out for some Olympic fun, Kate Middleton attended the ?Road to 2012: Aiming High? exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in London, England this morning (July 19).
The Duchess of Cambridge smiled beautifully for the press as she fulfilled her role as an official patron, and viewed photographs that were commissioned to document the preparations for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Always the clotheshorse, Ms. Middleton had everyone?s attention in her length sleeve Olympian blue crepe shift dress by Stella McCartney.
Also in the house for the big event were 30 VIP guests including Ruth Mackenzie, Jeremy Hunt, and Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson.

Enjoying a day with the family, Kate Middleton and Prince William were spotted at the Beaufort Polo Club's exhibition match, in the United Kingdom?s National Arboretum.
The Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge brought their adorable new cocker spaniel puppy Lupo to show off to their cousins as the girls watched the 29-year-old hunk participate in the polo match.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the brunette beauty spent her morning with schoolchildren at an 'Expanding Horizons' Primary School camp in Kent, England.
Kate sat around the fire and talked to the children and when she left one camper said, ?I asked her what it was like to be a princess. She said she gets treated very well and William is very sweet and kind and spoils her."

An outdoorsy Kate Middleton was spotted spending the day with schoolchildren at an 'Expanding Horizons' Primary School camp in Kent, England on Sunday (June 17).
The Dutchess of Cambridge participated in various outdoor activities at the Widehorizons Margaret McMillan House and looked lovely in earth tones with a pair of green rain boots.
The brunette beauty looked relaxed as she sat around a fire with the children who showed her their teepees, and after chatting with the kids inside she exited saying, ?Thank you very much for showing me your bedroom."
After her visit, one of the campers told the press, "I asked her what it was like to be a princess. She said she gets treated very well and William is very sweet and kind and spoils her."

Stepping out to celebrate their cousin?s wedded bliss, Prince William and Kate Middleton were among the royal guests at Emily McCorquodale?s wedding to James Hutt at the Church of St Andrew and St Mary in Stoke Rochford, Lincolnshire, UK.
The elegant Duchess of Cambridge looked like her usual chic self in a hand-painted silk floral ?chinoiserie? dress by Jenny Packham while the Duke looked dapper in a black suit paired with a grey vest.
Also attending the beautiful ceremony, which was held at the same church Miss McCorquodale was christened at in 1983, was her other cousin Prince Harry.
The celebratory day comes just after the Duke and Duchess have been keeping quite a busy schedule. As previously reported by GossipCenter, the royal pair took a carriage ride with Prince Harry as part of Queen Elizabeth II?s Diamond Jubilee celebrations this past week.

Did I expect Duchess Kate to get knocked up right after her wedding? Not really. I hoped she would, just because it would give her something to do, and it would give her an international storyline that we could all follow breathlessly. But I didn?t really expect her to get knocked up right away. But I did think the announcement would come before Kate and William?s first wedding anniversary, but it didn?t. Instead, there were a slew of reports claiming that the royal couple was hellbent on waiting (Kate?s specialty) and several royal sources claimed that Kate and William were merely focused on not pulling focus from the Queen during her Diamond Jubilee. One source even claimed that Kate and William would wait until 2013 to even start trying for a baby.
Well, now that the Diamond Jubilee stuff is done and the royal family is preparing for some time off before the London Olympics (they open on July 27), perhaps it?s time to re-evaluate the royal baby plans? Or they could just go on vacation again. Why not do both?!?
HollywoodLife.com has spoken to a source with inside knowledge about the Royal couple who reveals that William and Kate are now trying for their first baby and we have the real reason they?ve waited to start a family.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are about to become parents. A source tells HollywoodLife.com that William and Kate will be announcing their exciting news by the end of the summer. Keep reading for all of the exciting details.
?They can?t wait to have a baby,? a source tells us. ?They were waiting for the Queen?s Jubilee to be over before trying for a baby. They didn?t want to overshadow such a big moment in the Queen?s life. But now they are more than ready and Kate could quite possibly be in the early stages of pregnancy right now!?
We told you that Prince William told Katie Couric that he wanted to start a family with Kate and that he might not continue with the Royal Air Force ? so that he can become a dad!

It?s interesting to think that Kate and William might actually try to get pregnant now, and Kate would be in her first trimester during the Olympics? meaning she would have to do two things at once, ?work? at a royal and gestate, at the same time. Imagining the enormity of that – in Kate?s mind – makes me think that she?ll be putting it off until after the Olympics. But sure, this is possible. I could see how Kate and William might be reviewing their baby plans now that the Jubilee stuff is over.
Or maybe all of this is just the cover story because Harry and Kate made a very special ginger baby last night.
