Pictures of Prince William and Kate Middleton in Northern Ireland 2011-03-08 05:42:44

Prince William and Kate Middleton made another official appearance together this morning with a stop in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was a special visit in honor of Fat Tuesday, which Brits call Shrove Tuesday, and Kate marked the occasion by gamely flipping pancakes with a little girl. It was the start of a busy day that also included meeting with the city's mayor, touring a charity that helps disadvantaged youths, and watching a performance from young actors. The trip, which comes after similar engagements christening a lifeboat in Wales and touring their Scottish alma mater, was apparently conducted without any prior publicity as there were some security concerns in the area. Their day went off without a hitch, though, for the soon-to-be-married pair. Plans for their April 29 wedding are coming along with the launch of their new website and new rumors that Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton will design Kate's gown, while the Middleton family released a series of sweet photos from her past.
