Duchess of Cambridge current events 1: 29 April 2011- 31 January 2012

Since this is a current events thread speculation about the timing of a pregnancy should be avoided.
We'll know she's pregnant when Clarence House announces the fact.

Duchess of Cambridge begins solo work with Lucien Freud

Not sure if this is the right place for this.

Was an artist yes, he died in 2011. Freud was born in Germany to half Jewish parents so they moved to the UK to escape Nazism and he became a naturalised citizen in 1939. Freud is reportedly said to have fathered over 40 children (however only 14, most from mistresses can be identified) from numerous mistresses and his 2 wives. He's the grandson of Sigmund Freud. He received the Order of Merit and Order of Companions of Honour.
