We just can’t get enough of this little guy!

Prince George has done it again. As well as grabbing everyone’s attention after the birth of his baby sister just six weeks ago, he has now stolen the spotlight at The Queen’s birthday celebrations.

All eyes were set to be on Kate Middleton, who was making her first public appearance since giving birth in May. But her two-year-old son is the one who has caught the public’s admiration, yet again.

The young Prince was carried by his father, Prince William, out onto the Buckingham Palace balcony, as part of the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony.

The adorable heir pointed excitedly down at the crowd, while Kate gave him a smile from behind William’s shoulder, instigating the toddler to try out his royal wave.

The ever so charming 22-month-old played with his dad’s uniform throughout the appearance, totally wooing the crowd. And we all melted when he reached for William’s nose and landed his little finger in his dad’s mouth.

Meanwhile, Kate looked as radiant as ever in a blue Catherine Walker coat dress and a hat by Lock & Co.

It doesn’t exactly come as a shock that the 33-year-old Duchess of Cambridge looked so well only 6 weeks after the birth of her daughter. It was only 10 hours after the Princess was born that Kate wowed the world by looking like she had just come back from a retreat!

Now all we can do is sit tight and hope that Princess Charlotte gets to make her next public appearance sometime soon as well.

Not long over a month after giving birth, Kate Middleton is set to make her debut public appearance as a mother of two.

The annual Trooping the Colour ceremony will be in full swing tomorrow afternoon to celebrate the Queen’s 89th birthday (even though her actual birthday was in April).

The festivities mean that the Royal family will be out in full force, with Prince Charles and Prince William riding horses alongside Princess Anne as part of the procession. Kate will ride alongside Harry in a horse-drawn carriage.

A source had previously told OK US that the Queen “thinks a month is more than enough time for Kate to take off before she should return to performing her royal duties.”

The Duchess of Cambridge’s maternity leave this time round is even shorter than the 39 days she took off from her royal duties after the birth of Prince George in 2013.

We can’t wait to see the family together and we have no doubt that Kate will look as stunning as ever, even with such a short maternity leave.

Not one to let her style icon sister do all the hard work, Pippa Middleton has just announced she’s launching her first fashion collection with established designer Tabitha Webb.

Famously breaking onto the fashion scene in the aftermath of her sister Kate's royal wedding (that bridesmaids dress certainly helped), Pippa is regularly listed as a seriously stylish celeb. Favouring British designers, the author and columnist even changed her outfit on four separate occasions while promoting her book, Celebrate, in the US: effortlessly jumping from Stella McCartney to Markus Lupfer, and from Paper London to Roksanda.

Pippa’s collaboration with Ms Webb features fun florals and a bright, feminine colour palette, meaning the pieces are just about perfect for summer social events. There's a pretty scarf too, which Pippa also models on the website; it is available in modal and cashmere as well as the silk fabric.

Pippa has said in response to the launch that she's "thrilled to collaborate with Tabitha on this project".

Tabitha Webb herself has stated: "The dress is perfect for the summer – either worn with a denim jacket and pumps for a casual look, or dressed up with heels for a special occasion."

The pieces will be available to buy on Webb’s website. Both the scarf and dress are pretty pricey (€125 and €400, respectively), but at least it’s all for a good cause: the British Heart Foundation, which Pippa has been an ambassador for since 2014, will receive all profits from the sale of the items.

Pippa is also going to be raising even more funds for the organisation by taking part in its 87km London-to-Brighton Bike Ride later this month.

Impressively, she’s already taken part in a 4,800km Race Across America challenge in aid of the charity’s research facilities.

The first official image of the royal cutie Princess Charlotte and her gorgeous big brother, Prince George, has now been released by Kensington Palace.

And suffice to say that we're transfixed by the duo.

The baby girl, who emerged into the world on May 2, can be seen nestled contently in her brother's arms.

Significantly, we can also see her blue eyes for the first time. Her hair is sandy brown.

The shot was taken in mid-May when Charlotte was still just two weeks old by the children's mother, the Duchess Of Cambridge. The family was at home in Anmer Hall at the time.

Both are largely clad in pure white, though George has a smart blue trim on his shirt. He also sports blue shorts and matching blue knee-socks.

The newest little Cambridge is seen in snug knitwear – reflective, no doubt, of the unseasonable chill of last month.

The Duchess is known to be a keen amateur photographer – and her father, Michael, also took the first official shot of George during the summer of 2013 at the Middleton holding in Bucklebury.

It emerged earlier this week that Charlotte will be christened on Sunday, July 5, by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The event will take place at the small St Mary Magdalene church on her great-grandmother the Queen’s Sandringham estate. The church is also within walking distance of William and Kate’s country abode.

George himself, being directly in-line to the British throne, had a somewhat more elaborate baptism.

Taking place on October 23, 2013 at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in London, the Archbishop Of Canterbury also resided over proceedings.

Just 22 guests were in attendance, made up of four members of the Middleton family, the child’s seven godparents and their spouses, and senior royals.

Princess Charlotte will also wear the same gown that her brother wore before her.

Modelled on a version donned by generations of British royals since the Victoria era, the current robe was actually designed by Angela Kelly in 2004.

The Queen had asked her senior dresser to create it as she deemed the original to be too fragile for further use.

For George’s big day, Kate wore a stunning Alexander McQueen jacket and matching knee-length skirt in a gold-tinged cream hue. 

She completed her look with a co-ordinating pillbox hat by Jane Taylor millinery, and Russell & Bromley nude court shoes in patent leather.

Prince George turns two on July 22 – and it is rumoured that his parents are already planning a garden fete-style bash at Anmer Hall to mark the occasion.

Wedding preparation is in full swing for socialite Nicky Hilton, but there's one person we definitely didn't anticipate being involved.

After getting engaged to her boyfriend, banking heir James Rothschild, last summer, Nicky has been making plans for her big day, and it seems she's sparing no expense.

Given that James is part of one of the world's richest families – recent estimates place the Rothschilds' worth at a whopping $620 trillion – and that the Hiltons aren't exactly stuck for money themselves, we knew from the beginning that this was going to be one lavish event.

Today, the venue for the HIlton-Rothschild wedding was finally revealed, and it involves one other notable family… the Royals.

Nicky and James have reportedly secured Kensington Palace, one of two official homes of Kate Middleton and Prince William, as the location for their big day. The couple will celebrate their wedding in The Orangery, located within the palace gardens.

The Orangery was originally built in 1704 to house Queen Anne's orange trees and nowadays is described as one of the "most elegant" dining venues in London. With a beautiful terrace overlooking the rest of the gardens, as well as an exquisite dining room, the venue can hold up to 300 people.

Kate and William's apartment, located within the Palace itself, is a sprawling four floor residence that underwent a €1.3 million restoration back in 2013.

Nicky and James won't be the first to tie the knot on the ground's of Kate and William's home though, as The Orangery has always been a popular wedding venue.

Unfortunately for Nicky, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge won't be there to help celebrate her big day, as they have been residing at Anmer Hall on the Queen's Sandringham Estate since the birth of Princess Charlotte at the start of May.

Paris' sister had her bridal shower last week, a typically glam event at the Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles.

The Disney-themed party celebrated Nicky and James "Love Story" and was co-hosted by Nicky's mum Kathy and her friend Brenda Richie, mother of Nicole Richie.

After just four weeks of maternity leave, Kate Middleton is looking set to return to her royal duties.

With the Queen’s birthday parade looming on 13th June, it has been reported that the Queen is expecting the Duchess of Cambridge to be there.

This four weeks maternity leave is even shorter than the 39 days the Duchess took after the birth of her son, Prince George, in 2013.

A source close to the royals told OK US that the Queen “thinks a month is more than enough time for Kate to take off before she should return to performing her royal duties.”

This will be Kate’s first public event since the birth of her daughter, Princess Charlotte. The whole world will be watching and we already can’t wait to see what elegant ensemble she will be donning this time.

Meanwhile it’s already business as usual for William who jetted of to Switzerland last week for his first public duty since the birth of his daughter.

Four weeks isn’t a long time but we are already dying to see some more family snaps now that Kate is almost back!

Duchess Kate is well used to having the eyes of the world evaluate her every move, not to mention assess her every style choice.

And now it seems that her newborn daughter, Princess Charlotte, has been caught out making her very first fashion blunder – at the tender age of one-day!

The royal cutie was barely out the doors of the famed Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in London when eagle-eyed observers spotted the slip-up.

Apparently the white knitted bonnet little Charlotte was wearing at the time was put on… the wrong way around. Oh no!

The hat had been purchased at Irulea, an 80-year-old boutique baby shop in San Sebastian in northern Spain, and owner Ayajo Villar has now confirmed the mishap. “Yes she is wearing it backwards – the part that surrounds the face should be on the neck,” she told PEOPLE.

The bonnet is a gift from George’s Spanish nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, but seemingly in the excitement of her birth, Charlotte’s parents struggled to position it correctly on her head.

Still, we reckon the little princess is entirely forgiven – and considering mums and dads globally are clamouring to recreate the newborn Charlotte’s look, she may even have started a brand new trend for backwards bonnets.

There have been some bizarre conspiracy theories surfacing since the birth of Princess Charlotte several days ago. 

A Russian paper, The Komsomolskaya Pravda paper believes that the Duchess of Cambridge looked too nice to have just delivered a child when she appeared outside the Lindo Wing of London's St Mary's Hospital after giving birth to Charlotte.

One Russian mum said: "It was a surrogate mother who gave birth but not her. Kate must have been wearing a fake belly showing to the people that she was pregnant." Another agreed: "She did not give birth, I am sure. There is no special maternal look in her eyes – this natural thing is not visible."

Others believe she had the baby earlier than Saturday: "She gave birth three days ago. They reported it only now. Look at the baby – she does not look like a newborn at all."

"She is at least three days old. There is nothing which would help a woman, even if she gave birth with the help of best doctors, stand up five hours after giving birth – and leave the clinic on her feet," they said.

Some people did not agree with Kates decision to leave the hospital when she did. Moscow gynaecologist, Olga Perovskaya, told women not to follow Kate's "heroic deed" and leave the hospital so soon.

"In our country an average mother leaves the maternity hospital in three or four days if everything is all right," she said. She then added: "Of course it is risky. A crowd of people is not at all a sterile environment – she could have caught a virus flying around."

Hmmm, we think we're going to have to believe Kate…

The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to her second baby, Princess Charlotte, on Saturday morning after being several days overdue.

It’s the app that has absorbed millions since launching and going viral last week – how-old.net calculates your age based on your facial structure and features.

Microsoft has now revealed that 33m people have used the software so far, collectively offering up 240m pictures for analysis.

Branded the ultimate vanity device, the outcomes have occasionally proved controversial. Indeed, users have been taking to social media in drones to share their delight and dismay at the results.

“Sorry if we didn’t quite get the age and gender right,” Microsoft offers by way of a disclaimer, “we are still improving this feature.”

But what about preened and groomed celebrities? With access to the best stylists, dieticians, cosmetics, and beauty treatments that money can buy, surely they look years younger than the Average Joe and Jane.

Not always so, it seems. Here at SHEmazing! we put some of our favourite famous faces through the app – with sometimes surprising results.

The stars the How Old app reckons look older:

Clockwise: Kylie Jenner is still just 17, and Lindsay Lohan is actually 28; 
22-year-old Selena Gomez, and Margot Robbie, who is 24

 

And the ones that have been deemed to look younger:

Clockwise: Demi Moore is incredibly 52; Victoria Beckham is actually 41;
Halle Berry has already marked her 48th birthday, and Jennifer Lopez is 45

 

Finally, the celebrities How Old got (pretty much) spot on:

Clockwise: Duchess Kate is indeed 33; Angelina Jolie is 39;
Michelle Keegan is 27, and Laura Whitmore has just turned 30

With the amazing news that the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a daughter this morning, attention swiftly turned to her first appearance – and the moment has arrived!

Kate, who welcomed a baby daughter in the early hours of this morning, made her first appearance on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital this evening.

The Duchess looked radiant and delighted, with a beaming Prince William at her side.

Prince George was at the centre of the celebrations earlier today, having been collected by doting dad William this evening. The adorable tot waited on the steps of the Lindo Wing with his dad, waving to the photographers.

The Princess was born at 8.34am this morning, weighing in at eight pounds and three ounces, with the wonderful news being announced on Kensington Palace’s official Twitter account.

“Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a daughter at 8.34am…The baby weighs 8lbs 3oz. The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth,” read the message.

The birth of Britain’s newest princess came after a week of waiting, with media and members of the public setting up camp outside the hospital in anticipation of the big event.

We are so thrilled for the family.

More than a few days passed her due date, the Duchess of Cambridge finally went into labour this morning, entering Lindo Wing at 6am today.

Now, after the world spent the day glued to computers and TVs, we can announce that Kate has given birth to her second child – a healthy baby daughter!

Weighing in at eight pounds and three ounces, the newborn's name is yet to be announced.

The baby was born at 8.34am this morning, and betting odds are favouring Alice for the name.

With the arrival of the new Royal, Harry is now fifth in line to the throne; although we doubt he’s thinking about that right now as he celebrates becoming an uncle for the second time.

Like everyone, we’re obviously dying to get our first glimpse of the little Royal, but for now we wish William and Kate all the luck in the world and hope they really cherish this special time.

Congratulations!

Kate Middleton has arrived at the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital!

A tweet from Kensington Palace announced the news a little earlier, saying:

The Telegraph stated that a two-car convoy and a number of police motorcycles had been seen leaving Kate's parents' Buckleberry home yesterday morning, sparking speculation the Duchess was en route to the hospital, although it later transpired the car was most likely for the Middleton family themselves.

Later in the day it was reported that another convoy was heading in the direction of St. Mary's Hospital.

The Duchess will give birth in the hospital's exclusive Lindo Wing, as with her first child.

Kate's due date was first thought to be April 25th, though some reports stated it as April 23rd. Either way, she is a number of days overdue and was expected to be induced this week had she not gone into labour naturally. However an increased police presence was noted outside the hospital earlier today, and protection officers were seen entering the doors of the Lindo Wing in the early hours of this morning.

Unlike with the Duchess' first birth, the world's media have been banned from waiting outside the hospital until the official labour announcement was made. Now that the ban has been lifted, hundreds of photographers and reporters are expected to remain outside the Lindo Wing until the birth announcement and Kate and William's first appearance.

Parking restrictions ahead of Kate's admission began over two weeks ago and this week were extended to May 5th.

This will be the second child for who Duke and Duchess, after they welcomed their son George back in 2013. As with George, Kate and William have chosen not to reveal their second baby's gender to the world until he or she is born.

Kate and William are said to be “hugely grateful for the warm wishes they have received from people" over the last few months, according to a spokesperson. 

"They know that people are excited that Prince George will soon have a little brother or sister and it means a great deal to them that so many will be celebrating this important moment for their family," the spokesperson added.

The new royal baby will be fourth in line to the throne, pushing Prince Harry to fifth in line.

Looks like there's a very exciting day ahead for the Royal Family… watch this space for more news!
