Table Talk: The Royal Baby Is Almost Here

By The Huffington Post News Editors

This week’s Family Dinner Table Talk, from HuffPost and The Family Dinner book:

In case you haven’t heard — although that would be hard to believe! — Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are expecting a baby. The little girl or boy, who will be third in line to the British throne, could be born any day now. In the months since the royals announced their news, there has been an explosion of excitement all over the world, with companies creating new royal-baby-themed products (pillows, plates or cookies, anyone?) and people betting money on everything from the child’s name and hair color to his or her Olympic chances. As for the Queen herself, she said this week that she’s ready for the baby to arrive — since she’s about to go on vacation.

How Will Kate Middleton Dress The Royal Baby

By Blue Carreon, Contributor After waxing poetic on Kate Middleton’s personal style — before and during the royal baby bump — I think it is valid to ask how she will dress her and Prince William’s newborn. Will the baby be wrapped in a cashmere Burberry plaid blanket? Will Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen design the christening gown? Will Church’s make velvet shoes embroidered with the royal crest? Will the milliner Philip Treacy design a bonnet for the royal baby? …read more

Why Prince William's Royal Portrait Is Worth More Than Kate Middleton's…At Least For Now

By Danielle Rahm, Contributor

Even before Kate Middleton’s pregnancy, people were smitten with her.  And a bit daft.  There was the Princess Kate jelly bean sighting that apparently didn’t sell on eBay, as its owner had hoped, and the portrait of her made up of postage stamps, a folk art confection that leaves even the most seasoned appraiser agog. …read more

Irish Mad Milliner Philip Treacy Says The Fascinator Is Fa-Fa-Finished!

By David Monagan, Contributor

Philip Treacy, milliner to royalty and darling of divas, has an imagination as riotous as the Irish mind can get. Raised with eight siblings in rural County Galway, he has conquered the fashion world with his surreal toppers for the human head. He has been the last word on “In” – having designed fabulous crowns for Madonna, Stella McCartney, Naomi Campbell, Sarah Jessica Parker, and 36 royal guests at the 2011 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.  That display of Treacy’s visions prompted worldwide sales of Fascinators to grow by 300 percent.

Bets on UK royal baby's name surge

If you believe the bookmakers, the first child of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge will be a girl, and she will be called Alexandra.

British bookies firm Coral has slashed the odds on the name to 2-1 from 25-1 after receiving an unusually large flurry of bets on it.

Spokesman Simon Clare said Thursday the company had taken 10,000 bets on various names, but he was surprised to see about 2,000 pounds ($3,080) in bets on Alexandra in a matter of hours.

Rivals William Hill and Ladbrokes also have Alexandra as 2-1 favorite.

Earlier, Coral suspended bets on the baby being a girl. The royal couple say they don’t know the gender, but last month Kate Middleton appeared to let slip that it was a girl.

L.K. Bennett Somerset Collection Store Brings Upscale London Style To Detroit (VIDEO)

By The Huffington Post News Editors

Detroit may not have its own monarchy, but that doesn’t mean local ladies can’t outfit themselves in royal fashion on this side of the pond. Now Motor City shopping mavens can snatch up new spring styles from a collection that’s favored by ultimate British trendsetter Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.

The first L.K. Bennett store in Michigan opened late last fall in Troy’s Somerset Collection. From one store that began in Wimbledon in 1990, L.K. Bennett has now expanded to 160 stores around the world.

Here’s a shot of the Duchess photographed last fall at the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust in her red L.K. Bennett coat, which she paired with a color-matching Gucci clutch.

Kate Middleton Gets Heel Stuck In Grate During St Patrick’s Day Parade (PHOTOS)

By The Huffington Post News Editors

Even royals can’t avoid the pesky pitfalls that come with wearing high heels.

Kate Middleton attended the rainy St. Patrick’s Day parade at the Aldershot Barracks today, looking absolutely stunning in a green Emilia Wickstead dress coat (the same one she wore last year!), a black hat, the Queen Mother‘s gold shamrock brooch and Emmy pumps. The only hitch? The duchess nearly fell in her trusty black heels when they got stuck in a grate.

Colonel of the Regiment Prince William, dressed in ceremonial uniform, seemed to giggle while a soldier stood still in salute as Kate was forced to bend down and pull her stiletto out of the drain. Thankfully, it was only a minor malfunction and the Duchess of Cambridge was able to get back to her official duty of presenting sprigs of shamrocks to the 1st Battalion Irish Guards.

Kate Middleton’s Nose Popular In New York, As Plastic Surgery Requests For It Surge: Report

By The Huffington Post News Editors

Many New Yorkers are scrambling to the offices of local plastic surgeons to get a new nose: that of British royal and picture-perfect fashionista Kate Middleton.

According to a report by the New York Daily News, Middleton’s perky schnoz has become “spring’s hottest accessory” for many New York women — so much so that many plastic surgeons in the city say they’ve seen a burgeoning number of requests for the royal nose in recent months.

“A couple of months ago, these women started coming into my office and asking for Kate Middleton’s nose,” Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg, a Manhattan plastic surgeon and author told the Daily News. “It has become so popular that we have made a file of a dozen Kate Middleton pictures to show patients when they come in for their consultation.”

Australian DJ in Kate Middleton prank call controversy returns to airwaves

One of the DJs who was involved in a prank call to Kate Middleton‘s hospital – which led to the suicide of a nurse – has returned to the airwaves in Australia.

Michael Christian was booted from Sydney-based 2Day FM in December after he and show co-host Mel Greig pretended to be the Queen and Prince Charles in a call to a hospital in London where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for a pregnancy-related illness, The Guardian reports.

The nurse who answered the call, Jacintha Saldanha, forwarded it to the room where Middleton was being treated. Saldanha killed herself three days later.

Christian resurfaced Monday as the host of a weekday morning music show on Fox FM in Melbourne, owned by Southern Cross Austereo, which also runs 2Day FM, the Guardian reports.

In the first show Christian made no mention of the controversy and did not take calls.

Southern Cross Austereo CEO Ryhs Holleran praised Christian’s return.

“We are happy to have Michael back on air,” he said. “We have always supported our talent returning to work when appropriate and today marks that occasion for MC.”
