Baby on board: Kate cracks up on Tube trip

Royals and public transport haven’t always gone hand in hand, but the Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Queen and Prince Philip were all smiles as they visited Baker Street station for the Underground’s 150th anniversary.

She’s not likely to be taking the Tube at almost six months pregnant, or at any time in the rest of her royal life for the that matter, but just in case Kate was given a Baby On Board badge.

Kate cracked up laughing when she was given the badge. She turned to the Queen and said “I’ll wear it at home”.
