Anyway, the reason why I am telling you this, is because I think it is only appropriate, after about a week of the Princess-Heard-around-the-world's birth, I showcase Kensington Palace, where this precious royal family live. Unfortunately, I could not go into William and Kate's quarters {note to self: learn how to sneak in ;)}, but I was able to see other areas of the palace.
Funny story and honest to goodness truth: I have ESP! When I was in Cleveland this past weekend for my second bridal shower that my lovely soon-to-be mother-in-law and pretty little MOH threw me, I told people on FRIDAY that Princess Kate gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Charlotte. Do you know what's wrong with that? She was born on Saturday morning. So either Kate and I have are in sync with each other or I am just a lucky guesser. I'd like to think that it's because Kate and I have this secret connection. Anyway, the reason why I am telling you this, is because I think it is only appropriate, after about a week of the Princess-Heard-around-the-world's birth, I showcase Kensington Palace, where this precious royal family live. Unfortunately, I could not go into William and Kate's quarters {note to self: learn how to sneak in ;)}, but I was able to see other areas of the palace. In the front room, they displayed photos of all the royals who lived in the palace. Isn't Queen Elizabeth's sister a beauty? They just look so....perfect. Did you know Princess Di {who is stu-nning!} lived here even after the infamous divorce? They also had a guest book, which of course, I had to sign {at the very bottom} and politely beg for William and Kate to attend our wedding. Cross your fingers they show up in Chicago on August 8 ;)! Then we were off to see the royal wardrobe! From there, we went to see the Queen's quarters, which I was a little disappointed by, as it was rather, dull, boring, and isolated. On the other hand, the King's quarters is ornate and grand. Why does the King get all the fun decorations?! The Kensington Palace tour is a quick hour look around. I am just DYING to see where William and Kate reside. I would love to know if their home is updated or if it's decorated much like the older part of the palace. I would also love to see Georgie Porgy and Charlotte's rooms. One day, when Kate and I are bffs...one day, soon....!
