With only a few weeks left until the royal baby is expected to arrive, Kate Middleton is making some last-minute preparations to ensure that everything goes smoothly, HollywoodLife reports.
The Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted making last-minute appointments and doing some extra furniture shopping before her due date of July 13, and that includes making sure she looks her best for the big day. After a doctor's appointment in London, Middleton stopped by St. George Street for a new $1,500 haircut and color at Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa on June 20, a change of pace from her usual visits to Richard Ward's salon for her signature "Chelsea blow-dry" hairstyle.
In addition, the Duchess has been buying furniture for she and husband Prince William's new 21-room Kensington Palace residence, Apartment 1A, which they will move into as soon as their bundle of joy arrives. She was spotted looking at floral print fabric at Colefax and Flower in London on June 17. A source told US Weekly that she wants everything to be in order when the baby arrives.
"Kate is making sure she's done as much as possible for the new house before the baby is born," said the insider. "Soon, she won't have time for anything else!"
What has she purchased so far? We know of sweet Moses basket (retailed at around $500) and a Bugaboo's jewel blue chameleon stroller accented with black and white stripes, perfectly color-neutral as to further tease the country over the sex of the royal baby. But Middleton isn't indulging in any "baby bling" currently on the market, instead opting for classic lines, simple and elegant patterns and color palettes revolving around herringbone brown.
US Weekly also reports that in case Middleton delivers early, she is currently staying near her husband in their Anglesey, Wales home. It may be far from her London doctor, but the couple has emergency birth plans already laid out, including a helicopter on-call for a possible early delivery.
The Duchess has also reportedly planned a royal birth music playlist to help her relax during her delivery, including songs by Bruno Mars, Calvin Harris and Of Monsters and Men. She will give birth to her baby in the private Lindo wing at St. Mary's Hospital in London, the same hospital where her late mother-in-law Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William. So sweet!
