With an expert party-planner (you know, Pippa of 'Celebrate' fame? No?) in the family, it's only fitting the Duchess of Cambridge has a baby shower fit for a Queen.
And thanks to Pippa, mum Carole and the Queen herself (along with a bit of expert photo shoot action from Alison Jackson and soft drink brand Shloer), it seems Kate has been thrown a baby shower fit for a Royal mum-to-be*.
These funny pics show what a baby shower at the palace might look like, with Kate's sister Pippa and mum Carole joining Camilla and Queenie (and token corgi) to celebrate the impending Royal birth.
Pretty realistic stuff - other than Kate's bumper belly. She's still barely showing!
*not really.
