Kate Middleton plans first Christmas in Norfolk mansion as new privacy row emerges

Kate Middleton and Prince William are said to be very upset after photos of them leaving a doctor's office were published in New York.
The royal couple were at their physician reportedly getting their 12-week scan when they were snapped by paparazzi and published in an American newspaper.

Kate is pregnant with her second child and is entering her sixth week of severe morning sickness, a condition known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum.

Last month, they filed a suit against two photographers who they believe were invading their one-year-old son Prince George's privacy.

The couple issued the warning saying that while the prince is young "he must be permitted to lead an ordinary life".

It was sent after an incident in a park in London where Prince William was concerned an individual was monitoring his son's daily routines and "placing Prince George under surveillance."

Meanwhile, Kate will be hosting her family at their Norfolk mansion for Christmas this year. While her parents Carole and Michael and siblings Pippa and James will be holed up in the countryside mansion, they won't be sitting down to Christmas Day lunch with the royal family at Sandringham House.


It's said that the snub is not meant as a personal insult, but rather a solution to space issues.

"The Queen is fond of Kate and doesn’t mean to exclude her family – indeed she has broken many of the old rules for them in the past," a royal insider told the Daily Mail.


"But if all of her children and grandchildren’s wives had their families to lunch, there wouldn’t be enough room, even at Sandringham House’s dining room."

It's believed they will attend a holiday tea at the estate.

The Duchess of Cambridge is expected to make her first official appearance since announcing her pregnancy on October 21st to welcome the President of Singapore o London.

"I think it would be fair to say that this is the first time the Duchess has played a formal part in a State Visit programme," a Kensington Palace spokesman said.

She has been forced to cancel several engagement as she battles the pregnancy sickness.

Why not show us the pictures in question,? the Irish media should no be censoring coverage of the British royals like their counterparts in the UK.

Gosh but they have little to worry them. Upset that a photo was taken of them leaving the doctor's office. The English royals are so up themselves. They need to start living a more ordinary life and quit the outmoded attitudes of entitlement.
