Kate Middleton will reportedly be living with her parents for six weeks after giving birth to her first child.

The Duchess of Cambridge is rumored to have no plans to hire a royal maternity nurse to help her care for the child. Instead, she will stay with her parents, Carole and Michael, in Berkshire, where she ”just feels safest and most secure.”

A source told reporters that Carole is “over the moon” with Kate’s decision to stay with her. She is even making changes to her £4.85 million in order to better accommodate Kate and her new grandbaby.

“Carole fully intends to be part of this baby’s life and Catherine, for her part, plans to spend a lot of time with her parents, especially while she is waiting for the new apartment to be completed,” the source said.

Smart girl, that Kate Middleton.

Prince Harry is set to return to the U.S. in May.

The royal will begin his trip May 9 in Colorado. After touring Washington, D.C., New York and an area in New Jersey that was hit by Hurricane Sandy, he will end his trip May 15 at a polo match in Greenwich, Conn., for his charity Sentebale.

Harry is slated to attend an event in Colorado Springs as a benefit for wounded servicemen and women. ”He is a soldiers’ soldier and will bring a spotlight on what’s being done to help these outstanding men and women,” his private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, said at a Palace briefing Monday.

Palace sources were quick to knock down rumors that Kate Middleton and Prince William would be returning to the U.S. with Harry. They are said to have called off all travel until their baby is born in July.

Kate Middleton celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with Prince William in Aldershot passing out shamrocks to members of the Irish Guards at their annual ceremony.

Middleton, who is expecting her first child in July, told Sergeant Thomas Laven that she is prepared for the sleepless nights ahead. ”I congratulated her on the impending birth and said you’ve got sleepless nights to come,” he told reporters. ”She said she was prepared for it.”

Inside the Mons Barracks, Middleton posed for photos and told guardsman Lee Wheeler that she and her husband have differing opinions on what the sex of the baby will be.

“I asked her do you know if it’s a girl or a boy and she said not yet,” Wheeler said. “She said ‘I’d like to have a boy and William would like a girl.’ I asked her if she had any names and she said no.”

Kate Middleton showed off her growing baby bump during a public appearance at a residential treatment center run by Action on Addiction, a charity organization she supports, on Tuesday morning.

This was the first public appearance the Duchess of Cambridge has made since returning from a “babymoon” in the Caribbean with her husband Prince William.

“It’s nice to be back,” Middleton was heard telling Action on Addiction’s chief executive, Nick Barton. “It’s a lovely day for it.”

A member of the center told reporters Middleton chatted with her about expecting her first child.  ”I asked her if she was nervous about having a child, and she said it would unnatural if she wasn’t. It’s just human, isn’t it?”

Middleton, who has been hiding her baby bump up until now, wore a black and white MaxMara Studio wrap dress.

“She looked really relaxed and rested after her break. She could have worn a coat, but she looked happy to show off her bump,” Judy Wade, the royals writer for the Observer, said.

Just another day in the life of a royal…

A pregnant Kate Middleton attended the unveiling of her official portrait at the National Portrait Gallery on Friday, her first outing since December.

The painting, created by Paul Emsley, was done over the course of three-and-a-half months. The Duchess of Cambridge sat for Emsley twice, once at his home in Bradford-upon-Avon, southwest England, and the second time at Kensington Palace.

“If you are working with someone who has whose face is just a lovely face, it’s harder to find something in the portrait that gives it some sort of gravitas. In this case I’ve tried to do that with the smile and the dimples and the shadows around the face,” Emsley told reporters.

“I thought it was brilliant,” Middleton said at the event, which she attended with Prince William, her parents and her siblings.

Kate Middleton debuted a new hair do‘ Monday night while attending an opening celebration for the National Museum of History’s new treasure exhibition in London.

Kate Middleton Returns Clothes Sent by Kim Kardashian

The Duchess of Cambridge, who attended the event solo, showed off her new face-framing layers and possibly darker-than-usual locks. The new cut was said to be done by her favorite hairstylist Richard Ward.

Middleton also recycled her emerald green dress, which she was seen wearing at an event for the Queen‘s Diamond Jubilee last year.

Yay or nay?

Kim Kardashian tried to get in the good graces of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, while working in London by sending over a few pieces from her European Kardashian Kollection. Unfortunately for the reality star, Middleton reportedly rejected the clothes and had them sent back to their supplier, Dorothy Perkins.

New Bottomless Photos of Kate Middleton Published

According to The Examiner, a source close to Middleton said she wouldn’t wear the clothes. “Kate is hardly going to turn up for an event with the Queen in a cheap leopard-print miniskirt or gold sequinned jacket,” they said. The source also added that the Duchess had turned down the Kardashian sisters’ invitation to tea.

Kardashian insiders dismissed the claims, saying the sisters never sent over the designs or planned to meet with her.

“Kim was working the whole time and though she admires Kate, she didn’t reach out to her,” the insider said.

Aw, snap!

Pippa Middleton is having the best week ever. The 29-year-old released her first book, a party planning guide title Celebrate, and was spotted out with 37-year-old investment banker James Matthews.

“They have been out together a few times,” a source close to Matthews told reporters. “It’s very early days but James really likes her. She’s a smart girl who has her head together. They have a lot in common.”

The two were spotted out in London on Oct. 29 going on a dinner date.

Pippa Middleton stunned in a Stella McCartney dress at the launch of her new party planning book, Celebrate, at Daunt Books in Chelsea.

“I know many of you will pick up the book out of nothing more than curiosity,” she writes in the introduction to the book.

“But I can assure you that it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself. This is my first chance to do that and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.”

The 29-year-old sister to Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, also discusses her new found fame: ”it’s a bit startling to achieve global recognition (if that’s the right word) before the age of 30, on account of your sister, your brother-in-law and your bottom”.

If her parties are half as put together as she and her sister appear on the outside, I’m sure it’ll be a hit.

A Danish magazine has published new photos of Kate Middleton nude in the South of France.

Se Og Hor (See And Hear) has printed a 16-page feature of the Duchess of Cambridge without her bikini bottoms on, which appear to come from the same set of topless photos the French magazine Closer printed earlier this month.

Kim Henningsen, the editor in chief of the magazine, defended his decision to print the images, saying, “It’s a set of unique photos from an A-class celebrity. It is my job to publish them.”

Prince William and his wife won an injunction in France to stop “further publication” of the photos, but the court made no ruling for the actual photographer.

Bunch of nasty jerks. Off with their heads!

Kate Middleton has always been the center of media attention, but found herself in the middle of a scandal last week when an Italian magazine published photos of her topless and sunbathing in the South of France. And while tension is growing in the Palace, sources reassure reporters that the Queen is fully supporting Middleton in the matter.

Prince Charles, William‘s father, and Queen Elizabeth “are most definitely supporting [Will and Kate] in everything that they are doing,” a Palace source told reporters.

Luckily for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, not only did they win an injunction to stop further publication of the racy photos, their good standing with the royal family has earned them protection.

“If this were Fergie, [the Queen] would be livid,” Ken Wharfe, Princess Diana‘s former bodyguard told reporters, referring to Sarah Ferguson, who was in a similar situation with inappropriate photos 20 years ago. “But this is top-drawer royalty: a favorite grandson and his beautiful wife. They live in another world.”
