Prince William and Duchess Kate's Royal Road to Baby #2

After graduation, William and Kate begin finding their paths in the adult world. Kate, based in London, works intermittently for her parents' company Party Pieces and then for the retail chain Jigsaw. William, meanwhile, embarks on the first steps of his military career, enrolling at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, England.

Kate joins William for a high-profile event in April 2008, the first since their breakup. She watches as he graduates from a Royal Airfare pilot training course in Lincolnshire, England.

Unbeknownst to royal fans around the globe, William pops the question during an October 2010 getaway to Kenya. Kate, of course, accepts.

The big news is announced to the world in November 2010. William had proposed with his late mother Princess Diana's engagement ring, which Kate proudly sports as she and her husband-to-be announce their plans to wed from the luxurious environs of St. James's Palace in London.

With her acceptance into the royal family a done deal, Kate embarks on her first official engagement as a princess-to-be. Kate joins Prince William in February 2011 to christen a new lifeboat in Wales.

Prince William and Kate Middleton wed in April 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London and celebrate their union with a reception at Buckingham Palace. Reports suggest that two billion people around the globe watch the ceremony on television. William and Kate are now known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

William and Kate embark on their first-ever royal tour as husband and wife, visiting Canada and California in the Summer of 2011. They gamely watch rodeo in Calgary, row dragon boats on Prince Edward Island, and mingle with celebrities in Los Angeles.

William and Kate are drawn back to London in Summer 2012 in order to participate in the London Olympics. They enthusiastically cheer for UK athletes at a number of events and memorably embrace at a track event.

William and Kate's families join together in October 2013 for the christening of Prince George, a first grandchild on both sides, at the Chapel Royal inside London's St. James's Palace.

William and Kate decide to bring Prince George along on their first royal tour as a family, following precedent set by William's own parents when they brought him Down Under on a 1983 tour. William, Kate, and George visit Australia and New Zealand in April 2014, earning new royal fans in both countries.

The Cambridge clan continues to grow with the announcement in the Fall of 2014 that Kate is again expecting. She experiences another round of severe morning sickness, causing a repeat of her pregnancy news leaking earlier than the family would have preferred. Nonetheless, she steps out in October 2014 to attend an engagement in London with William.

Kate's condition improves enough so that she is able to visit the United States with William in December 2014. It's Kate's first time in New York City, and she and William spend three days promoting British interests in the city, touring sights, and seeing old friends.

William and Kate, having left Wales at the end of William's Royal Air Force posting in 2013, decide to base themselves at a country home they're given on the queen's Sandringham estate in Eastern England. After a lengthy renovation, the family happily settles into country life, following royal tradition and spending Christmas there. They also, of course, keep a place in London, occupying a large apartment in Kensington Palace when business takes them to town.

Kate becomes increasingly confident championing issues close to her heart as a working royal, including children's services, art, and natural history. William and Kate team up for her last trio of royal engagements in the Spring of 2015, just weeks before their baby is due.
