Kate Middleton missed Meghan Markle's baby shower today, opting instead for a secret family skiing trip - in a move that will do nothing to dampen speculation of a royal rift. The Duchess of Sussex, 37, who is seven months pregnant, flew from London to the US on Friday to celebrate her baby among close friends in what proved to be a lavish affair. Kate Middleton and William pictured in Norway on an official tour in February last year. Prince George attends Thomas's Battersea in south west London while Princess Charlotte goes to the Willcocks Nursery School near their home in Kensington. The star-studded baby shower ended earlier today, with Meghan's close friend the human rights lawyer Amal Clooney making a glamorous entrance.
