It was the spot in which she spent her final night as a member of the
Middleton clan so when the Goring Hotel asked the Duchess of Cambridge to join
them for its 105th birthday celebrations, it was an invitation she couldn't
refuse.
Today the Duchess, who is seven months pregnant, was pictured leaving
the five-star London property, which was closed for a birthday makeover during
January and reopened nine days ago.
Kate, who is currently home alone while husband Prince
William tours China and Japan, had a noticeably bigger bump than on her last
appearance two weeks ago and was glamorous in a patterned purple dress by
British brand Erdem.
