Happy Birthday, Wills! A Photo from his "Younger Days."

We at UKate would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Prince William, who turns 30 today! We hear that Kate has a low-key celebration planned with close friends and family, likely at their cottage in Angelsey, Wales. Whatever she has up her sleeve, we’re sure it will be a wonderful day. If we hear any deets, you’ll be the first to know!

The Duchess Receives Flowers from Young Admirers

Following a few days of rest from Royal duties, Kate went back to the old wardrobe today; selecting her favorite blue M Missoni overcoat for a quick jaunt from Angelsey, Wales for a day of Jubilee celebrations in the East Midlands city of Nottingham with the Queen.

The Windsors Wave to the Excited Crowd

Will and Kate were at the train station by car, where they met with dignitaries while waiting for Queen Elizabeth to arrive by train. While waiting with others on platform 6, The Mail reports that William shouted to the waiting crowd waving flags on the opposite side of the tracks, “Are you waiting for the same train we are?” The three were all smiles as the Queen departed the locomotive to cheers from the onlookers.

The Duchess looked completely at ease while mingling with the fellow Royals and the crowd. She paired her blue Missoni coat with comfy dark blue pumps. She topped off the look with a dark navy quilted clutch and lovely hat by Rachel Trevor Morgan. From what we can see, there is mutual affection between the Queen and Kate. We’d say she has certainly embraced her role in the Royal family.

Lovely!

The Royals Arrive at St. Paul's Cathedral

Following an evening of music and celebration where we saw Kate go back to her High-Street roots in a Whistles dress, the Duchess rallied today for her Royal duties and once again chose favored designer Alexander McQueen for the final day of the Queen’s Jubilee.

Kate looked extremely elegant in a nude lace McQueen frock accessorized perfectly with a fabulous fascinator hat from up-and-coming milliner, Jane Taylor and a nude satin clutch. To nobody’s shock, she chose her trusty LK Bennett heels to top off the look.

The day began with an early service of thanks at St. Paul’s Cathedral, where the young Royals were looking a little tired, no doubt after a fun-filled evening of music at the Queen’s Jubilee concert.

Following the service and a reception at Guildhall, the Duchess of Cambridge then joined her husband William and other members of the Senior Royal team, leading one of the tables at the Westminster Hall City of London Livery companies lunch today held in honor of the Queen.

There, they mingled with 700 guests representing abundant trades and professions, ranging from grocers and gunmakers to fruiterers and fishmongers.

According to The Mail, Kate was placed at the Master Glovers and Pattenmakers table, “a body founded in the 17th century as a trade association for the makers of pattens – under-shoes of wood and metal which were worn strapped beneath the shoes to raise the wearer out of the mud on the streets.” Prince William was seated at the Engineers and Arbitrators table, and Prince Harry took his place at the Fruiterers and Gardeners table.

The lucky diners were served a menu of marinated Uist Island salmon with Lyme Bay crab, followed by saddle of Welsh Cambrian Mountain lamb with braised shoulder of lamb, grilled Isle of Wight asparagus, Jersey Royal potatoes and an aptly named Jubilee sauce.

After the lunch, the Windsors then boarded their carriages for a ride down the mall to Buckingham Palace, where they made an appearance with the Queen on the balcony, complete with a military salute fly0ver. The streets were packed with excited onlookers celebrating this special day.

We have to say, Kate has looked amazing during the entire Jubilee celebrations. We can’t wait for the busy summer ahead!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Arrive at Chelsea Harbour Pier

The Duchess of Cambridge hit a home run today, arriving at the Chelsea Harbour Pier in a stunning scarlet frock by Alexander McQueen. She was joined by Prince William and other members of the Royal family as they celebrated the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee with a river pageant on the Thames on the Royal barge, the Spirit of Chartwell.

Stunning in McQueen

Careful to not upstage the Queen on her celebratory day, Kate opted for a monochrome patriotic red long-sleeved dress with pleated skirt from McQueen’s Autumn 2011 line ($1,800). If the dress looks a bit familiar to you – good eye. A sleeveless (and slightly shorter-length) version has been seen in the past year on both reality star, Kim Kardashian and English singer/songwriter and actress, Tulisa Contostavlos.

The Duchess paired the look with a fabulously placed red hat by Sylvia Fletcher from royal milliner James Lock & Co. She accessorized the dress with a goldmaritime-themed brooch featuring two silver dolphins, red clutch and her trusty LK Bennett “Sledge” nude pumps ($325). (As an aside, we love these shoes, Kate. And we get it…they work for you. But can you start mixing it up a bit? Thanks!)

Finally, the Duchess was seen carrying a scarf made of Strathearn tartan, perhaps in case of a chill on the water – and a nod to her Scottish title the Countess of Strathearn.

We absolutely love this look! It reminds us so much of Kate’s early days of her Royal tour of Canada. Well done!
