Crazed Pregnant Kate Middleton Painted Her Palace Purple

By Alex Rees

This is a fun story. British newspaper The Daily Mail reports that the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge's cravings were less to do with weird food and more to do with weird decor. During her pregnancy, Kate helped oversee a renovation of Kensington Palace - and hired a "flamboyant designer" to spruce up the interiors. It became a total Trading Spacesdisaster - cheap paints (gasp!) were purchased for the palace walls and they were justhorrid, leaving one room in particular "with a horrible, unexpected purple tinge." Lavender is the worst, after all.

Kate is reportedly blaming the disastrous makeover "on her [pregnancy] hormones" and the whole design project will have to be done over again. That said, she's retaining the same designer for work that's planned for her and Prince William's country estate. Just with nicer paint, presumably.
