Kate Middleton and Prince William Set Up House For Their New Baby

Kate Middleton and Prince William are putting the finishing touches on their new home, and that includes hiring their housekeeper.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are putting the finishing touches on their new home, and that includes hiring their housekeeper. Will and Kate have hired Antonella Fresolone, one of Queen Elizabeth's housekeepers, to run their abode in Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace, where they will move to in the Fall. She is reportedly already helping the expectant couple out by working with them in their current home at Nottingham Cottage. The new housekeeper isn't the only person helping the couple as they prepare for their new baby — Kate Middleton went shopping with her mom at an upscale baby store in London back in April, where the two bought a large white basket for the new little royal.

It's a good thing that Kate has been getting help and rounding out her household staff, as she has been busy with work all through her pregnancy, including spending her two-year wedding anniversary with Prince William at a children's hospice. She and William may be expected to dedicate more of their lives to their royal jobs, as there have been rumblings about the prince quitting his job with the Royal Air Force once Kate gives birth. Either way, the two won't have Prince Harry around to help out over the next week since he is gearing up for a tour of the United States beginning tomorrow.

Kate Teams Up With Will and Harry For a Muggle Movie Studio Tour

Kate Middleton was joined by Prince William and Prince Harry to attend the inauguration of the new Warner Bros.

Kate Middleton was joined by Prince William and Prince Harry to attend the inauguration of the new Warner Bros. Studios in London today. She dressed up her baby bump in a polka-dot Topshop dress and a black Ralph Lauren jacket. The three young royals toured the studio, which had been decorated with pieces from famous films, including The Dark Knight Rises and the Harry Potter films. Kate, William, and Harry played with fake wizards' wands during a tour of the Harry Potter sets and William got in a bit of fun as he hopped on the Batpod while Kate giggled. Harry and Will also joked about the Batmobile while inspecting it during the tour. According to reporter Richard Palmer, Prince William asked, "You don't do baby seats for those cars, do you, by chance?" Will also joked that he hasn't yet told Harry that Harry Potter "isn't real."

The royal visit to the studios comes after a busy week of appearances for Kate and Harry. Kate made three visits over the week, including a stop by the National Portrait Gallery on Wednesday where she put her baby bump on display in a baby-blue dress. Prince Harry has been keeping busy as well, attending the London Marathon on Sunday and making a stop in Nottingham on Thursday. The week may also mark the end of one drama for pregnant Kate, as two indictments have been made in a French court over the publication of Kate's infamous topless photos. Both the photographer and the chief executive of the French magazine that first published the pictures are facing charges over the incident, and the court will reach a decision on June 5. In happier news, Will and Kate will celebrate their anniversary on Monday, April 29.

On April 29, expectant parents Prince William and Kate Middleton are celebrating their two-year wedding anniversary!

On April 29, expectant parents Prince William and Kate Middleton are celebrating their two-year wedding anniversary! In 2011, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tied the knot in a royal wedding seen 'round the world, breaking the record for the largest online live-streaming audience with a record 72 million live views from people across 188 countries. While many royal weddings don't garner the attention of Prince William and Kate Middleton's big day, they don't lack in lavishness.

Will and Kate's nuptials were part of a long tradition of elaborate royal weddings around the world. Last year, the tiny country of Luxembourg treated its Crown Prince Guillaume to an extravagant affair when he married Belgian Countess Stephanie de Lannoy. The celebration, which reportedly cost around $650,000 and was funded by taxpayers, spanned multiple days and included a guest list packed with kings, queens, and other royals from around the world. In Brunei, Princess Hajah Hafizah Sururul Bolkiah, the fifth daughter of Brunei's sultan, married Pengiran Haji Muhammad Ruzaini at her father's 1,700-room palace in front of 3,000 guests. A state dinner followed, and Queen Elizabeth II even sent her best wishes.

These royals make up some of the lesser-known but just as regal royals of the world. And just like the Brits, they know how to throw opulent weddings for members of their families. From the wedding for the future emperor of Japan in 1924 to Grace Kelly's Monaco spectacular in 1956 to Will and Kate's big day on April 29, 2011, here is a guide to the world's royal weddings over the years.

Kate got into the Scottish spirit by wearing a blue-and-gray plaid coat by Moloh. The Earl and Countess of Strathearn, as Will and Kate are known in Scotland, played with a group of children inside the arena and laughed as they watched the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games mascot Clyde run around the track.

The duo also got to show off their athleticism as Kate shot hoops on the basketball court and Will picked up a field hockey stick. The couple will have a busy day tomorrow, as they will meet up with William's father, Prince Charles, at the Dumfries House in Ayrshire to open a new outdoor center. Scotland is a place close to Kate and William's hearts, as they met as students at St. Andrews University in 2001.

Kate and William's visit comes less than one day after a report came out that the duchess wrote a letter to a young girl who missed her appearance in Grimsby back in March.

Kate Middleton and Prince William got in the St. Patrick's Day spirit when they attended a holiday parade in Aldershot, England, and visited the military barracks. Kate donned the same green Emilia Wickstead coat that she wore for last year's festivities while William wore a ceremonial dress uniform. The duchess pinned sprigs of shamrock to the gathered military personnel, including a large Irish Wolfhound, while William acted as colonel of the regiment during the parade.

The day was not without a small slipup as Kate's black heels got caught on a grate when she walked around the barracks. She laughed off the blunder with William, who offered his hand to his pregnant wife as she wedged out her heel and went about her royal duties. While meeting with guardsmen, Kate reportedly revealed that she is hoping for a boy while Prince William wants a baby girl. The couple have been attending to their work over the past month, but they did manage to squeeze in a day of fun on Friday when they dropped by the Cheltenham Festival.

Cate Blanchett and Ian McKellen celebrated the royal premiere of their new film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, in London today. Cate and Ian were joined by costar Martin Freeman and Lord of the Rings' Dominic Monaghan. Although this Hobbit film, the first of three, is being released after the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it is actually based on the novel that inspired the original Lord of the Rings book series. They weren't at the London premiere, but LOTR's Liv Tyler and Elijah Wood attended last week's NYC screening of The Hobbit.

Prince William also attended the premiere but without his pregnant wife, Kate Middleton. Unfortunately, Kate had to cancel her planned appearance earlier this week due to her continued battle with acute morning sickness.

Prince William wore a tuxedo for the Winter Whites Gala at the Royal Albert Hall in London today. He attended without wife Kate Middleton, who is resting at Kensington Palace after being hospitalized for acute morning sickness caused by her first pregnancy. Kate left the hospital with William by her side on Thursday, following a three-night stay. During her time there, a pair of Australian radio hosts called the hospital as a prank and were able to speak to Kate's nurse. Sadly, just yesterday, news came out that one of the workers involved in transferring the call was found dead. In the wake of the tragic event, the hospital released a letter urging the radio station to take steps to ensure that "such an incident could never be repeated."
