Bride-to-be Kate Middleton hits the shops ahead of Royal Wedding

The blushing bride looked as glamorous as ever as she was snapped on the King's Road, Chelsea, London.

Wearing a ruched black dress that revealed her slender frame and shapely legs, Kate beamed at photographers, as she wore her loosely curled locks down.

The glamorous royal-to-be, who is only nine days away from her wedding, was browsing the chic Whistles boutique.

After making a purchase, the 29-year-old was then seen crossing the road with a bodyguard as she continued a leisurely spending spree.

Kate's look has sparked a fashion frenzy, as women try to copy her style. Within hours of appearing in a Burberry trench coat, it had sold out across the country.

Her fondness for High Street stores including Reiss, Jigsaw and Topshop make her style "wearable" for women across the country.

And today the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh had lunch with Kate's parents, ahead of next week's much anticipated Royal Wedding.

It is believed to be the first time the monarch has met Michael and Carole Middleton, the future in-laws of Prince William.

Kate's parents, self-made millionaires thanks to their mail order business, were invited to Windsor Castle to have lunch with the royal couple.

A source described the gathering of the Middletons and the Queen and Duke as having a "warm atmosphere".

It is thought the lunch was a long-standing engagement in the diary of both the monarch and Kate's parents.

Also present were a small number of members of the Royal Household, thought to be private secretaries.

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman confirmed the meeting, saying: "The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh hosted Mr and Mrs Michael Middleton at a private lunch at Windsor Castle today."
