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.

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration has begun in earnest in England. Today is the big ?Diamond Jubilee River Pageant Flotilla? down the Thames. Hundreds of boats and thousands of people are participating in the event – basically, the Queen and her family are on a huge barge (a fancy, royal barge), leading hundreds of other seaworthy vessels down the Thames for some kind of extravaganza event. These are some photos from the event. You can see some more of the extraordinary photos here.
Prince Harry, Prince William and Duchess Kate were there, of course, on The Queen?s Barge (sidenote: not the real name, but shouldn?t it be?), as well as The Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla) and the Duke of Edinburgh. The men wore their military dress uniforms and the ladies wore their business-classy finest. Duchess Kate wore this fetching and eye-catching Alexander McQueen suit which is making me ill with envy. Most of the time, I?m pretty meh on Kate?s clothes but this McQueen is devastatingly beautiful on her. I?m in awe of the way the sleeves and bodice are cut perfectly to her proportions. I even love her matching hat. This might be one of my favorite outfits ever on Kate. Now if we could just get her to stop fondling her hair during public events.
Harry and William were looking cheeky and cute too. Camilla and The Queen both wore white, and (just my opinion) the Queen looked kind of pissed off about it. Surely Camilla could have gone with a different color? If the Queen is wearing white, no one else should.
PS? The Queen?s hat looks like a satellite dish. No disrespect.

Taking care of her Royal duties, Kate Middleton was spotted at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party in London, England today (May 29).
The Duchess of Cambridge looked gorgeous in a $2000 Pink Emilia Wickstead coat dress, the same one she wore to the Windsor Castle lunch a couple weeks back.
The Garden Party was part of the Diamond Jubilee of Britain?s Queen Elizabeth II, and had a guest list of over 8,000 people in total.
Two of the guests, newlyweds Gareth and Rebecca Jones, told press they were impressed with Kate?s poise during the shindig. "She congratulated us, and asked me how long I'd been in the RAF. She seems to share a lot of empathy and genuine interest in people."
Unfortunately, Middleton?s main man Prince William was unable to attend, as he?s off on active duty in north Wales with the RAF Search and Rescue squadron.

As we discussed on Friday, Duchess Kate and Prince William made a big appearance in London on behalf of the British Olympic team. Kate and William are ambassadors for the London Olympics, so I?m hoping that means we?ll be seeing more of them throughout the summer at official functions rather than on extended holidays. Many of you tweeted me about Kate?s up-do on Friday, and many of the tweets followed the same pattern, which was: ?OMG, Kate listened to us! She wore her hair up! You need to convince her to cut down on vacations, wear less eye makeup and bring her button problem under control.? Baby steps, y?all. Her hair is her security blanket, and I think it was very brave of her (?brave? being a relative term, and ?brave? in her own mind) to step out of her sausage curl comfort zone. But yes. Please, Kate. Ease up on the eye makeup. And the buttons. And stop taking so many vacations.
Anyhoodle. This story is a week old, but I thought I would dust it off because it is interesting (to me). The UK?s Now Magazine (like, a really budget tabloid) has a story in which Carole Middleton is allegedly telling people that Kate and William may try for a baby very, very soon. As opposed to next year, when Kate currently has ?baby-making? scheduled in-between several holidays.
Speculation over when the Duchess of Cambridge will get pregnant has been rife ever since her wedding day last year. But Now can reveal that Kate Middleton, 30, and Prince William, 29, are about to start trying for a baby after her mum Carole Middleton let the news slip to a pal last week.
‘Carole said Kate isn’t pregnant yet but wants to start trying soon,’ reveals our insider. ‘Carole smiles when she’s asked about a Royal baby and is clearly looking forward to being a grandmother.’
Royal commentators have previously insisted the couple wouldn’t try for a baby until 2013 because of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the London Olympics and a host of other engagements this year. But now it sounds like it could be sooner.
Our source says: ‘Carole said Kate can’t believe how perfect her first year of marriage has been. A pregnancy would be the icing on the cake for them.’
[From Now Magazine]
A few weeks ago we debated Carole Middleton?s role in her daughter?s ascension to royalty, and whether Carole is some kind of royal-whispering Svengali. I know what I?m about to say sounds anti-feminist and very, very dated, but I wouldn?t be surprised at all to learn that Carole Middleton was encouraging her daughter to get pregnant sooner than later to solidify her (Kate’s) position within the royal family. Do you know what I?m trying to say? It seems like motherly advice, especially when that mother is Carole Middleton and she bankrolled and manipulated her daughter?s way into the highest echelon of UK society. Carole wants Kate to have a baby because Carole has her eye on Kate?s position within the royal family, and she wants Kate to lock this thing down with a (baby) bow on top.

Capping off a full day in the spotlight, Prince William and Kate Middleton made their grand arrival at the Imperial War Museum in London, England on Thursday evening (April 26).
With the Duchess of Cambridge looking elegant in an Amanda Wakeley charcoal grey dress with 3/4 length sleeves, the good-looking couple were on-hand for a reception to help launch the Imperial War Museum Foundation's First World War Galleries: Centenary Campaign.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Will and Kate spent the earlier part of the day attending a reception for the Scott-Admundsen Centenary Race at Goldsmith Hall
The packed day of public appearances come as the royal couple is readying to ring in their first wedding anniversary on Sunday (April 29) - though the surely romantic plans have been kept under wraps thus far.

OMG, two public events within 24 hours?! There won?t be a vacation long enough for Duchess Kate and Prince William after this grueling week is over! As I covered earlier today, Kate and William were at a charitable screening for the film African Cats last night. I wasn?t crazy about Kate?s familiar-seeming Matthew Williamson dress. And she decided to go with another familiar-feeling look today. Her suit/dress is by Rebecca Taylor – the textured blue reminds me of the Missoni coat she wore for a photo-op with the Queen last month. It?s not a repeat, and it?s not the same look, but Kate does love her blues, and she loves some nubby, textured fabric. Look, she?s got matching blue pumps too! I don?t think she?s a shoe person – I?m not either, so I give her a pass.
I was looking around for a good shot of Kate?s ?blinged out? poppy pin, but her hair was covering the poppy in most of the photos. When you see British people wearing any kind of lapel poppy, it?s in honor of the Royal British Legion, or veterans in general. You can read more about Kate?s sparkly poppy pin here. The London event today was for a group of servicemen who ?recreated the Scott-Amundsen race to the South Pole.? Later today, Will and Kate will attend an event for the Imperial War Museum Foundation.
Will and Kate?s first wedding anniversary is Sunday. They don?t have any public appearances for the day, and UK gossip says that they?ll be spending some of their anniversary at a party with friends. My guess? They?ll totally manage to find the time to take an anniversary vacation.

Fresh off of attending the UK premiere of "African Cats" the previous evening, Prince William and Kate Middleton were back in the public eye as they arrived at Goldsmith Hall in London, England earlier today (April 26).
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were in the house for the Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole, which raises cash for the British Legion.
With Kate looking fabulous in a blue tweed jacket paired with a matching knee-length skirt while toting an Anya Hindmarch clutch, she and Will are later scheduled to make their way to a ritzy reception at the Imperial War Museum for the debut of the Centenary Commemorations.
Meanwhile, with their anniversary quickly approaching, a source close to Will and Kate leaked that their evening will likely be low-key and romantic.
"William is cooking for them. It's a joke between them that his culinary skills were what originally wooed Kate all those years ago. They'll probably watch a DVD and reflect on the past year. They really are old before their time, and it's not very glamorous, but they're very happy."

Spending the afternoon on the red carpet, Prince William and Kate Middleton stepped out for the UK premiere of "African Cats" held at the BFI Southbank in London, England on Wednesday (April 25).
With her royal husband holding an umbrella to keep his lady dry, the Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning in a neutral colored dress with turquoise stones decorating the quarter sleeves while her husband donned a dark suit, white shirt and red tie.
The couple are guests of honor for the screening of the Disney documentary, which follows a pack of lions and family of cheetahs while all proceeds from the event are going to the UK-based conservation charity, Tusk Trust.
The charity supports endangered animals across Africa by educating local communities about how to live alongside the wildlife and, as a patron of the charity, Prince William is expected to give a brief speech towards the end of the event.

I just spent way too much time looking through Duchess Kate photos. I?ve tried to select some of the best shots of her jewelry. From my extensive research from the photo archives (about 15 minutes worth of research), I?ve come to the conclusion that Kate has two favorite pairs of earrings which she wears for nearly every public outing, at least over the course of the past three months. One pair – the pair she?s worn for nearly every public outing lately – is the pair she got for Christmas from Prince William. Those are the lovely drop earrings which are allegedly some light-colored green amethysts. But for one appearance, she wore sapphire drop earrings, and this report from In Touch claims that William gave her those as well. While the amethysts were bought new by William, apparently the sapphires are part of a whole set that was once owned by Princess Diana, and William is slowly giving Kate all of the sapphire pieces to go with his late mother?s sapphire engagement ring. Creepy? Or sweet?
He?s already given her something no other man could ever match – the adoration of an entire nation. But Prince William isn?t the sort to slack off when it comes to treating his sweetheart.
Last summer, he gave Kate Middleton a pair of his mother?s favorite diamond-and-sapphire earrings – and a royal insider tells In Touch that on their first anniversary on April 29, the Duchess of Cambridge will likely find herself in possession of a priceless heirloom.
?I expect William will definitely give Kate more jewelry,? the insider says. ?Very likely a piece from Princess Diana?s extensive private collection.?
William?s already given Kate a pair of diamond-and-sapphire earrings which were Diana?s, and which match Kate?s sapphire engagement ring. It seems likely that Diana?s sapphire necklace is next.
And if the idea of being slowly covered in her later mother-in-law?s ?80s-ear gemstones seems less than thoughtful, consider that William is always careful to tell kate she?s free to alter them at will, to make sure they suit her. In fact, she turn the earrings, originally studs, into drop earrings. No wonder she?s a fashion icon!

In Touch also says that Will and Kate plan to spend their anniversary alone. Alone except for all of the jewels! I seriously don?t admire much of Kate?s life, but I am extremely jealous of her current crop of jewelry, and all of the jewelry she?s going to receive over the course of her marriage. Not to mention all of the jewelry she simply gets to borrow and play with from all of the royal archives! GAH!!!!!!!! That is why you spend nine years Waity-ing. So that one day you can cover your bed with diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, amethysts and more, and you can roll around on all of them naked. Or something. Well played, Waity.
