Three-year-old Isobelle Laursen dressed up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast to meet “Princess Kate” when she visited Grimsby in March.
2. When she adorably worried about her height during a group photo.
3. When she was the essence of diplomacy and said she “loved” her first official royal portrait, making her the only person in the world to do so.
Seriously though. How weird does she look in that painting?

The Duchess of Cambridge spent a wintry March day volunteering at a Scout Association camp in the Lake District.
5. When she improved upon the gorgeous outfit she wore for St. Patrick’s Day 2012 by adding a royal baby bump.
The most perfect way to accessorize.

It took her eight attempts to make a basket during a visit to a Glasgow homeless shelter in April. She joked, “I blame it on the pregnancy.”
7. When she looked so stunning that even her husband’s portrait was checking her out.
Yeah, William’s picture at the National Portrait Gallery is about 110% better than hers.

14. That time she christened a cruise ship and had the cutest reaction ever.
15. When she stepped out of the hospital carrying her newborn son and magically caused the wind to waft through her hair.
After having given birth the DAY BEFORE.
16. When she demonstrated her phenomenal parenting skills by teaching her 1-day-old son how to wave to the photographers…
17. And laughed at the idea that anything about her — even a post-partum baby bump — would be less than perfect.
18. When the glow of her beautiful new family was almost too much for the camera to take.
The first official portraits of the Cambridge family were pretty much too cute to handle.
19. That time she and Prince William attended their first black-tie event after the birth of their son and she looked like a sparkly fairy princess.
