There have been a few sightings and stories regarding the Cambridge family in recent weeks - please excuse my tardiness on catching you up on them!
Earlier this month Carole Middleton took Prince George to Bucklebury Farm Park for an afternoon of fun. Both Kate and Carole have often been seen taking George to Bucklebury Farm Park. You can view the rest of the photos at PopSugar.

Last week it was reported that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reportedly went to have tea at Kensington Palace with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. It has since been confirmed by Kensington Palace and it was also reported that Prince George was present. It was a private occasion, so no photos have been released, however there are photos of Angelina arriving at Kensington Palace at BrangieLove.

This week Kate and George were photographed at Snettisham Park. They were photographed there a few months ago, whilst Kate was still pregnant. Prince George looked to be having a wonderful time with his mother.
The photos appear in the German People Magazine.
Cristin Zipfel has scanned and put some of the photographs on their Twitter account.
Kate kept her look casual in a Zara Checked Shirt which is available for £19.99 in the sale.
She completed her look with Le Chameau Vierzonord Neoprene Lined Wellington Boots which are available at Harrods for £220.

In preparation for this afternoon's christening details have been released. One of the most exciting is who will be taking the official photographs.
Mario Testino has been chosen by the Cambridge's to take the official photographs. You may remember that he took the official engagement photographs.
Kensington Palace released this press release:
"The Duke and Duchess are delighted that Mario Testino will help capture this important moment for their family and look forward to sharing the photographs with the public.
Throughout his career, Mr. Testino has also photographed the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry, and Diana, Princess of Wales.
Acknowledging the request to photograph Princess Charlotte's christening, Mr. Testino said: "I am overwhelmed and honoured to be chosen to document this occasion and to carry on the documentation of the family that is the soul of this country, a country that has given me so much."I am very much looking forward to seeing the photographs from such an incredible photographer!
The timings for the christening have also been released. The christening with begin at 4:30pm, but the gates outside St Mary Magdalene Church will be open for the public at 3pm.
From the Daily Mail it has been reported that:
Kensington Palace confirmed that the public will be able to use their own cameras in the paddock outside the church which has been set aside as a viewing area for thousands of spectators.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: ‘The Duke and Duchess have received good wishes from people across the country and they wanted to open the paddock to those who want to see their family.
‘If people want to get pictures for themselves to enjoy then they are welcome to do so.’
It has also been reported that around 40 guests will return to Sandringham after the christening for a champagne reception. The Cambridge family will then spend the night at Sandringham before returning to Anmer Hall the following day.
Flowers that are brought by well-wishers will be collected and donated to one of Kate's patronages - East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
£5 commemorative coins have been released to mark Princess Charlotte's christening. The coin features two harp=playing cherubs surrounded by swags of lilies. The design was approved by The Queen, Prince William, Kate and Chancellor George Osborne.

In our final part of the Bumper Update Post, it has been confirmed by Kensington Palace that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will watch the quarter-finals at Centre Court next Wednesday.
It is not a surprise that they will be attending as it is well-known to be one of their favourite events of the year.
Also on the note of tennis, it has been reported that Kate wants to move the tennis court at Anmer Hall to improve the view.
From the Daily Mail:
"According to documents posted on the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council website, William and Kate have applied for planning permission to demolish an existing court and build a new one with an artificial grass surface just a court’s width further to the right."
The plans showing the proposed move..
