Queen Elizabeth Waiting For Royal Baby Birth: Will Kate Middleton Gives Birth Before Elizabeth's Vacation?

The Queen is leaving on her scheduled annual summer holiday at the end of the week — adding even more pressure to Kate’s impending delivery. What lengths will the royal family go to make sure that the Queen is around for the birth?

We’re all anxiously on “Kate Wait,” but so is the Queen. Queen Elizabeth II is undoubtedly thrilled at the prospect of the new royal arrival — but the waiting is getting to be a little much for the 87-year-old monarch. Growing impatient, the Queen hopes that the baby will get here soon as not to interfere with her scheduled vacation. Will the Queen get what the Queen wants, Kate Middleton and Prince William?

Queen Elizabeth II: Impatient For Royal Baby’s Arrival

We are all getting antsy as we wait for the royal baby to arrive, but even the Queen is offering up choice comments about speeding up the process. ”I would very much like it to arrive. I’m going on holiday,” Queen Elizabeth II told a group of gathered schoolchildren at an appearance in Lake Windermere in Cumbria on July 17, adding “no sign yet.”

Queen Elizabeth II Leaving On Vacation: Kate To Give Birth Before She Leaves?

The Queen is going to be leaving for her scheduled annual summer vacation in Balmoral on July 19. Since she wants to be around for the birth to meet the baby, the family has only a few options: postpone the trip or speed up the birth!

It is common for pregnant women to be induced after being two weeks overdue with their babies. But since the palace never released an official due date — and Kate’s mom Carole Middleton hinted at her grandbaby being born after July 23 — it could be as late as August until the little Prince or Princess arrives!

Queen Elizabeth II: Does She Know The Sex Of The Royal Baby?

The question on everyone’s mind, one child at the Lake Windermere appearance asked the Queen if she knows whether the baby will be a boy or a girl. ”I don’t think I mind [either way],” she answered. If she knows in advance, she is keeping mum!

Kate Middleton’s Easy Beauty Tips To Embrace Your Inner Duchess!

Our favorite royal, Duchess Kate Middleton, never has a hair out of place — she always looks absolutely stunning no matter what she is wearing. From skinny jeans to fabulous maternity gowns, her beauty look is always amazing. Now, we’re sharing easy tips on how you can look just as flawless as Kate!

Even with a baby on the way, Kate Middleton, 31, looks as royally beautiful as ever. Her gorgeous brunette hair flows in delicate waves and her skin is totally blemish free — and don’t forget that winning smile! Kate sure has a lot to smile about with her ever elegant ensembles and radiant hair and makeup, and now, so do you! We’ll give you some easy tips so you can release the royal within yourself!

Kate Middleton’s Hair — Get Her Perfect Waves

Kate’s hair is her trademark, says Allure. Her brunette locks are typically styled into layers with waves and the perfect luster, not to mention great volume. You too can create effortless waves in your hair with a curling wand or a straightening iron, preferably 1-inch. With a small bunch of hair, twist the iron upwards towards your scalp — but not to close, you don’t want to burn yourself! Hold for a few seconds and unwind. This will result in perfectly subtle waves. Spray with some hairspray, but not too much because you don’t want your waves to be stiff — they should be free and loose and blowing in the wind! You’re good to go!

Also remember that wearing your hair down is totally in. Try going half-up, half-down just like Kate so that your hair is out of your face, but you still have full layers on the bottom. Simply tease the hair from the crown and brush it back, away from your face. Clip it back and give it a light spritz of hairspray. Leave the waves loose on the bottom.

Kate Middleton’s Eyebrows — Get Yours In Shape

According to Allure, Kate gets her eyebrows regularly groomed at Richard Ward Hair and Metrospa. There, she gets her brows shaped to perfection, drawing attention to her bright hazel-green eyes. You too can have flawless brows by using a creamy eyebrow pencil to create the shape that best balances out the distance between your forehead and your eyes and follows the lines of your face. If you’re not sure what shape your eyebrows should be and you can’t go to Richard Ward’s in London, try Sania’s Brow Bar in New York City.

Kate Middleton’s Clear Skin — Keep Your Face Silky & Smooth

To complete the Duchess makeover, make sure you are keeping up with your daily skincare routine. Make sure to constantly moisturize and be diligent, just like Kate who, according to Allure, reportedly uses Karin Herzog products on her skin.
