Kate Middleton Push Present: Prince William Customizing Diamond Brooch as 'Thank You' for Baby?
Prince William will reportedly gift Kate Middleton with a diamond brooch as a thank you for giving birth to their first child, Prince George Alexander Louis.
The Duke of Cambridge, 31, allegedly sought the assistance of the Queen Elizabeth's personal jewelers, with reports claiming he has plans to customize the gift to make it more sentimental. Middleton gave birth to a baby boy on July 22 after an 11-hour labor and William reportedly wants to commemorate the event with a lavish gift.
"William has been giving this a lot of thought for a long time. He's got lots of ideas from studying history of art at university and decided on a pink diamond as a centerpiece because it is pretty and feminine," a source told The Daily Express. "It will be a thank you present to Kate."

William and Middleton, 31, are reportedly adjusting well to parenthood despite the sleepless nights and intense media scrutiny. The Duke has reportedly found a successful way of getting baby George to sleep.
"Prince William is using a bizarre tactic of belting out Coldplay anthems at all hours of the night even though he can barely hold a note," a source told The Daily Star.
The royal couple is reportedly planning a christening for baby George, which is scheduled for September. They are also said to be in the process of selecting at least six godparents for their son.
"It will be a small, intimate affair. The Queen will be present and the Middleton family," royal party planning expert Emma Summers told E! News about Prince George's christening.
"It will be very different from what we saw at the wedding," Summers' fellow royal party planning expert, Georgina Reames, explained. "A very private occasion and a very religious one."
William and Middleton are expected to select three godmothers and three godfathers ahead of Prince George's baptism. Among the list of potential top picks is William's younger brother Harry and Middleton's younger sister Pippa and brother James.
