Kate Middleton To Make First Public Speech

Kate Middleton is set to make her first public speech on March 19th.

The Duchess of Cambridge will address the public at the opening of The Treehouse, a hospice service run by one of her charities called East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH).

Graham Butland, EACH Chief Executive, said in a statement:

“The visit will showcase the magnificent facilities we can now offer to local life-threatened children and their families, and celebrate the supporters of The Treehouse Appeal. Having our work recognized in this way by Her Royal Highness is not only a tribute to our staff and supporters, but a huge boost for the children, young people and families receiving our care and support.”

That’s not her only upcoming engagement, either! On St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th), Kate will present shamrocks to 40 Officers and Warrant Officers, who will go on to hand them them out to the ranks of the Irish Guards.

She’s definitely staying busy!

Kate Middleton Makes First Solo Appearance In London

Last night, the Duchess of Cambridge attended a private viewing of portraits by the late Lucian Feud at the National Portraight Gallery in London.

Kate looked stylish in a tweed dress by Jesire, finishing off her look with a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes.

This was her first official solo royal appearance without her husband, Prince William, who is doing a search-and-rescue training in the Falkland Islands.

Photographer Mary McCartney, daughter of music legend Sir Paul McCartney, was also at the event and told the Daily Mail Kate complimented her work:

 “It made me blush but I was incredibly flattered. It is refreshing having her here. It is so exciting that she has become involved.”

With Prince William away, the royal couple will be spending their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple apart. Kate is set to travel to Liverpool to visit The Brink (an alcohol free bar linked to Action on Addiction, which she is a supporter of), as well as the Ronald McDonald house at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

William & Kate: Ready For A Baby?

We’ve heard it all before, but sources say  the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are ready to start a family!

An insider tells OK! magazine:

“They were planning to wait a few years before having their first child, but Kate has done a 180. This is more than just duty. Ever since the wedding, William and Kate have fallen even more in love — their honeymoon and their trip to North America was nonstop romance. Now they really want a child together.”

According to royal commentator Victoria Arbiter, William and Kate “will be keen to raise any children in a normal environment,” despite the unimaginable advantages he or she will have.

Victoria adds:

“Kate has shown how down-to-earth she is. She buys most of her clothes off the rack, she’s happy to do her own shopping at local supermarkets, and loves to cook. While they will be in the public eye, she and William will want any children to enjoy as private and personal childhood as possible.”

So where would the couple like to raise their family? Despite having a small apartment in Kensington Palace, William and Kate may prefer to do so at their farmhouse in Wales!
