Acclaimed photographer Alison Jackson has “imagined” Britain’s Duchess Catherine’s baby shower using lookalikes of the duchess, members of her family, and other royals.
The acclaimed photographer used doppelgangers for the duchess, who is due to give birth to her first child in July, her mother Carole Middleton, party planner sister Pippa Middleton, her husband Prince William’s stepmother Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Queen Elizabeth and had them pose in a series of images that echo what a royal baby shower could look like.
The pictures show the guests tucking into cupcakes and alcohol-free Shloer, while admiring gifts including a toddler race car, a teddy in a blue jumper, and a white baby-grow with ‘born to rule’ on.
Though originally an American trend, baby showers have increased in popularity in the UK in recent years, with annual spend in the UK reported as totalling 220 million pounds and two thirds of mums-to-be now celebrate their impending arrivals with such a celebration, new research has shown.
