That looks a bit bigger! Mama June tries on ‘replica’ of Kate Middleton’s royal wedding dress on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

Royal birth was a global event with celebrations taking place all over the world and messages of congratulations coming in from such people as royal fans, celebrities, and President Barack Obama. Claudia shared her own message of support: “A much anticipated moment in any life, I am thrilled for William and Kate on the birth of their baby son, the magic of which never fails to move me. I wish them all the very best of happiness and joy that becoming new parents will bring them.” The world will get another glimpse of the family as Prince George’s official first royal portrait is reportedly set to be released later this month. The Middleton family have connections with the Bradbys, In addition to these family connections, Kate was also spotted wearing the Claudia Bradby “Camellia” necklace at an airport back in December 2007. And as most Kate fans will probably know, the former Miss Middleton even designed a necklace with Bradby back in 2006 when she worked as a fashion buyer for Jigsaw. Kate designed a pretty little necklace for the Junior range, realising there was a gap in the market for affordable quality jewellery for girls ages six-18. At the time Bradby told the London Evening Standard that she’d written to Kate to congratulate her on the new appointment with Jigsaw, and then later Kate got in touch to discuss creating a small pendant together. Claudia Bradby had high praise for Kate after working with her: “[Kate] was very specific about what she wanted. One of the things I do enjoy is when I do collaborate with other companies, and with people who ‘get’ what you’re doing, is that you have a symbiotic relationship. I put quite a lot of work into it, and was pleased with what she had in mind. She was ideal to work with, and really bright and capable.” The necklace Kate designed is once again available to buy on Claudia Bradby’s website. It is known as the “Kate” and it forms part of Bradby’s Heritage collection to mark the Royal Wedding last year. As reported by katemiddletonstyle.org . Claudia Bradby Jewellery launched in 1999 and is known as an exceptional British jewellery brand renowned for timeless and elegant pieces of silver and pearl jewellery. Fourteen years on, Claudia is as passionate as ever and still personally designs each collection and travels the world to source the “finest pieces”. Speaking about her designs Claudia said: “We all know that one size doesn’t fit all, so I set out to create a collection that would work across a broad range of styles and situations - and I still hold to the mantra that each piece really must really earn its keep in your wardrobe. I design very much bearing in mind how a piece will be worn and used, drawing on influences all around me from a stormy night sky to the luxury seen on the catwalk.” Claudia thoroughly enjoyed working with Kate: “Her vision was quite simple and classic. She was so straightforward, warm and bright that I remember thinking William was lucky to be going out with her.”As reported by hrhduchesskate.blogspot.in We think this is another memorable step to mark Royal Birth.

“Demand is up now so we’re making sure we have more of them in stock and we now sell them in all of our stores,” said Dan Rentillo, the company’s design director. Fascinator prices at David’s Bridal range from under $50 to over a $100 for styles with tulle and a hat. “We are capitalizing on the sudden popularity of fascinators,” said Rentillo. The fascinator isn’t just a wedding accessory, said Rentillo. “Kate has worn the style on several different occasions. She’s showing women that this is a great accessory that can change up your look.” In the United States, Rentillo said he can see fascinators popping up at cocktail parties and other events. “In the past, the fascinator was perceived to be an older look,” Rentillo said. “Kate, who is such a style icon, is showing that younger people can pull it off and have fun with it.” Google+ Market indexes are shown in real time, except for the DJIA, which is delayed by two minutes.

Jewish Royal Baby? Rumors Swirl Around Prince George And Kate Middleton’s Family Heritage

Prince William took the minimum paternity leave of two weeks that he could get away with and still be considered a modern dad even by todays fawning media. Hes back to a life of flying helicopters and playing polo. And who could blame him? Leave the dirty diapers to the help. But Im not quite ready to shed a tear for Kate Middleton over this sad old tune. She knew what she was buying into. And I guarantee that she isnt alone and abandoned. Hello? Its a $1.5 million nursery in a palace . Despite the reports that theres no nanny or baby nurse, were just not that stupid. Im pretty sure she can and does have a staff. Not to mention all the friends that money and access to the royal family can buy. And Kim Kardashian? The apparently still-bloated and self-conscious Keeping Up With The Kardashians star actually does admit to having a team of baby nurses. So for once Kimye is the one who isnt insulting our intelligence. Celeb Dirty Laundry reported that Kanye West has indeed slipped away to party in Greece. And he hasnt made any secret of the fact that he doesnt do diapers. But lets get real.

The family’s excess weight was clearly bothering the family matriarch who attempted to put her brood on the cabbage soup diet in a last ditch attempt to shed some pounds before her big day. ‘If I eat this, I better lose 50lbs instantly,’ she declared with some distaste. ‘The soup’s been cooking for a while and it smells like wet gym shorts.’ Her 16-year-old daughter Jessica ‘Chubbs’ was equally unimpressed. ‘It looks like someone threw up in a bowl,’ she said, wrinkling her nose up at the stew of vegetables. Tough task: Mama June had to be laced into another gown with some difficulty Here comes the bride: June’s daughters had a vote to give their opinion about June’s gown All the rest of the girls bottled out of trying the healthy concoction except for Pumpkin who proceeded to spit out the soup as soon as she tasted it. June is later seen rushing to the bathroom in order to throw it up. ‘I like non healthy food because it tastes good,’ Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ declared, showing her stomach to the camera. ‘Last time I ate a salad was never.’ Meanwhile, June tried to salvage her family’s reputation, telling viewers her clan are ‘big boned.’ Trying to shift some pounds: Mama June cooked up some cabbage soup in an attempt to lose 50lbs ‘instantly’ Not happy: Mama June was unimpressed with her vegetable creation I don’t do vegetables: Honey Boo Boo aka Alana Thompson consulted her stomach about her favourite foods That smells horrible: Jessica ‘Chubbs’ isn’t happy at the healthy looking concoction ‘We don’t eat a lot of fried food. We eat baked food,’ she maintained, while putting hunks of butter on top of a tray full of meat chops. Meanwhile, as the ceremony approached, Sugar Bear and June worried their dance moves might not be up to scratch and agree to practice at a dance class. June also begins to pen invitations, thiftily using old thank you cards for the task. ‘You are invited to a celebration of love,’ she began to write, before sneezing with stress. ‘I’m using old thank you cards to send out invitations. As long as you have food people will come.’ Gagging motion: Mama June spits out the remainder of the soup We’re just big boned: June claimed the family ate healthily while preparing a buttered dish of meat Invitation list: June put herself in charge of the invite list and thiftily re-used thank you cards But the amount of organisation wasn’t the least of her concerns. With Mama June a self confessed marriage phobic, she started to have commitment ceremony jitters.
