Royal mum-to-be Kate Middleton visited the set of Downtown Abbey at Ealing Studios in London, England on Thursday (March 12).

Wowing in a white maternity coat from JoJo Maman Bébé, the Duchess of Cambridge, 33, was all smiles while meeting the cast and crew of her favorite show.

The expectant mum is pictured above with Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary) and Oliver Barker (one of the twins who plays Lady Mary’s son, George) outside the historic studios in West London. And upon her arrival, Kate was welcomed by Oliver’s twin Zac and their mother Clare.

The Duchess shared a laugh with the show’s creator, Lord Julian Fellowes, and Robert James Collier (who plays the mean-spirited under-butler Thomas), who joked: “You’ve come just at the right time, Phyllis is about to have her Botox put in.”

The expectant mum caught up with Phyllis Logan (Mrs. Hughes) in the hair and makeup department, and visitied Sophie McShera (Daisy) and Lesley Nicol (Mrs. Patmore) who presented Kate with a special Downton Abbey cake in the kitchens

Unfortunately, Dame Maggie Smith was missing as she was ill and couldn’t attend.

The day before, Kate was seen visiting an art studio in Kent. She is set to join husband, Prince William, to pay tribute to those who served in Afghanistan.

The royal couple – who are already parents to 19-month-old son Prince George – expect their second child within weeks.
