PICS! Kate and Pippa middleton prepare for the Royal Wedding

The Middleton sisters visited the family home in Berkshire ahead of the big day

With plans for the Royal Wedding well under way and an army of military out rehearsing this morning, Kate Middleton and her sister Pippa continued their own preparations for the big day, with a visit to the family home in Berkshire.

ROYAL WEDDING PREPARATION: ALL THE PICS!

With Kate at the wheel, the Middleton sisters were accompanied by royal protection officers, who sat in the back of the car during their trip.

It’s thought this could be the last time Kate returns home before the ceremony on Friday, with the rest of the week expected to be taken up with rehearsals for Friday's wedding.

With much to be done before the ceremony, it’s thought Kate will spend her last night as a Middleton at the exclusive Goring hotel in London, surrounded by her family.

In an attempt to inject a little normality into their lives ahead of the big day, it’s thought Kate and William spent Easter Sunday with Kate’s parents, with the Prince driving down from London for lunch at the Middleton family home.

Reports suggest Wills arrived at the five-bedroom Bucklebury country house clutching a mystery brown package for his bride-to-be, but whether it was an Easter egg or wedding gift for Miss Middleton remains to be seen!
