15 Pregnant Kate Middleton Appearances in Public
The UK has literally gone crazy: the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, who over the past 9 months has become a real benchmark for expectant young mothers, is about to give birth to the future heir (or heiress) of the royal throne. The paparazzi are going crazy, the bookmakers are taking a bunch of bets on the sex of the baby, and the shelves in the UK children's shops are bursting with royal merchandise. According to calculations, Kate should give birth before July 15th. In the meantime, the first royal child, in whose veins not 100 percent "blue blood" flows, has not yet been born, we invite you to see how Kate Middleton's pregnancy went.
