The two potential future queens team up, reports royal biographer Katie Nicholl.
It has been a whirlwind few weeks of wedding planning for Kate Middleton, so when her future stepmother-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, offered to treat her to lunch at London’s fashionable Berkeley Hotel, she jumped at the chance.
Clutching her leather-bound planner, which contains details of her and Prince William’s impending big day, Kate was accompanied by her younger sister Pippa, while Camilla’s daughter Laura, 33, also joined them for the girly get-together.
According to courtiers, Kate and Camilla have always got on, and it was the duchess’s idea to take Kate to lunch so they could nut out a few final wedding details.
The 1800 invitations to the service at Westminster Abbey are due to be posted any day now, and William, 28, and Kate have spent the past few weeks trying to whittle down the guest list for the evening reception.
Chic as ever in a Diane von Furstenberg frock, knee-high boots and a fitted leather jacket, Kate looked every inch the modern princess-in-waiting, if a little on the slender side. As reported in Woman’s Day earlier this month, she has been trying hard not to let wedding nerves get the better of her, and is determined to put on a few kilos before she walks down the aisle on April 29.
