Apart from Kate Middleton’s pregnancy rumors; a source close to the royal family has disclosed that Prince Williams and Kate Middleton are looking to adopt a baby. 

OK! Magazine referring to the close royal source reported that an adoption is "something they (Kate Middleton and Prince Williams) have spoken about a lot." 

The age factor of Kate Middleton is also a major factor into their decision to adopt. "Kate's 30, so she realizes they need to get started," the source added further.

The idea of adoption has also been discussed with other members of the family including Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth; for which they have shown positivity, the source claimed.

A skier in the resort where the royal couple is staying said: 'They were sitting all together in an alpine restaurant half way up the mountain and looked very happy and relaxed.’

While Prince William was away, the Duchess carried out a number of public engagements alone, including two with The Queen and her first public speech.

When Queen Elizabeth came to visit all this, she was enthralled , especially by a screen showing footage of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee parade through London in 1897. Her own, of course, is just weeks away.

Kate Middleton Wows in LK Bennett's Peplum Dress

The wore looked super trendy, wearing LK Bennett's Jude jacket in teal worn over LK Bennett's knee-length Davina dress in the same color and a James Lock hat.

The peplum suit is stylish and graceful enough for a royal outing, but the peplum adds just a touch of fashion-forward thinking that makes Kate look of-the-moment and exceptionally splendid.

The Queen is looking pretty trendy herself, in her bright-fuchsia cashmere Angela Kelly suit. The Duke looked his usual jovial self, we bet he was cracking a few gags during their hour or so train journey. 

Queen Elizabeth annoyed by Kate Middleton's thrifty clothing choices (Video)

LONDON, UK (Sat, Mar. 03) – Queen Elizabeth is "mildly irritated" that the media has turned Kate Middleton into a fashion icon since the royal wedding in April last year, revealed by a reliable source inside the royal family. 

Queen Elizabeth annoyed by Kate Middleton's thrifty clothing choices

According to some media reports; Queen Elizabeth has apparently accepted Kate Middleton as a new member to the royal family, but from inside she hates the Kate Middleton's parsimonious clothing choices as well as her fairly short hemlines.

The royal family source further said, "There's a danger in the Duchess being seen as always hunting out bargains. She is, after all, a royal princess and it's not necessarily extravagant to dress like one."

It looks like the Queen and the other royal family members do not understand that these prudent, realistic manners are part of what makes Kate a very loving and caring person to the rest of the world. 

One thing's for sure, Queen Elizabeth may be in charge of the royal family, and Camilla may be in line to be queen once Prince Charles takes over the monarchy, but something tells me that no matter who actually holds the throne, all eyes will still be on Kate Middleton.

Take a look at the video clip below of Queen Elizabeth II walk in and greet guests at a media reception followed by Camilla, and then Kate. Notice how the excitement of the people in line changes the minute Kate comes in!
