The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, looked pretty in pink Sunday as she and her husband Prince William attended Trooping the Colour, her last public appearance before she is due to give birth in July, according to Express UK.
Middleton looked lovely in a pink Alexander McQueen coat and matching jaunty hat, her baby bump just visible beneath her elegant attire. Some spectators speculated that her color of choice was a last-minute hint about the sex of her baby, which many in Great Britain are currently placing bets on, among other attributes such as hair color and name. She wore her long brown locks down and in waves, finishing off the look with a pair of pretty pearl earrings.
Joined by the Duchess and the Duke at the Queen's traditional Birthday Parade were Prince Harry and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who shared a carriage during the annual military spectacle at Horse Guards Parade.
The Queen, 87, looked elegant in a powder blue Angela Kelly coat and matching lace hat and carried her trademark black handbag, appearing to be in good spirits despite her husband Prince Philip currently recovering in the hospital after exploratory abdominal surgery. She later visited her 92-year old husband at the London Clinic, where he has been recuperating since June 7. It is only the third time that he has missed the event since 1962 when he was away on a royal tour.
Over 1,000 soldiers, horses and musicians took part in the parade in celebration of the Queen's birthday.
According to the Mirror, the name Alexandra is currently trumping the odds on bets placed on the name of the royal baby at 5/2, with Charlotte following closely at 4/1 as the second favorite choice.
"There is a month or so to go until the arrival of the royal baby and this is the second significant gamble on this market," William Hill told the Mirror. "Coming so close to the due date, you would have to assume that there is something behind this one." The heaviest tipped names for boys are George, Charles, and James.
