    What has become Kate Middleton's beauty must-have during her pregnancy? Find out, here…

    Kate Middleton is fast becoming the reigning queen of maternity style, and now it seems she's been getting her pregnancy beauty routine in order, too.

    The Duchess of Cambridge has reportedly been stocking up on pots of bargain beauty buy cocoa butter with Vitamin E, for her burgeoning baby bump.

    Although she'll go full steam ahead with her public engagements in the coming months, it has been revealed that she'll retreat to her parents' sprawling home in Berkshire for the weeks immediately before, and after the birth.

    It's thought Kate Middleton could even be planning to break with tradition and give birth in a hospital close to her parents' Bucklebury home, rather than in London.

    'Kate’s family want the baby to be born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital,' a family friend told the Telegraph.

    'Their thinking is that she will be based at her parents’ house during the later stages of her pregnancy and they do not want her to have to travel miles to Paddington when she goes into labour.'
