Royal Baby: Kate Middleton And Prince William As Children (PICTURES)

It’ll probably be a little while to we get to have a proper look at the Royal nipper, but luckily we have plenty of pictures of Kate and Wills as children to pour over in the meantime.

The way they were: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as children

And though Kate didn’t grow up on the public eye, there are a smattering of images of the 31-year-old brunette as a pig-tailed, cheeky little girl, who spent part of her early childhood living in the sun-kissed Middle East.
