Pippa Middleton delivered her first child on Monday afternoon and has already received a flurry of visitors, but there has so far been one noticeable absentee.

While the new mother's brother James Middleton has been to meet his new nephew their older sister Kate is yet to visit the Lindo Wing where Pippa gave birth.

But it seems that the Duchess of Cambridge has been tied up elsewhere with Kensington Palace revealing that she took part in an unannounced engagement on Tuesday.

Less than 24 hours after the birth of her new nephew Kate, 36, hosted a meeting for one of her charity initiatives, thought to be held at her home of Kensington Palace. Read more from The Daily Mail.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
