"This is a fun story. British newspaper The Daily Mail reports that the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge&amp;#039;s cravings were less to do with weird food and more to do with weird decor. During her pregnancy, Kate helped oversee a renovation of Kensington Palace \u2014 and hired a &amp;quot;flamboyant designer&amp;quot; to spruce up the interiors. It became a total Trading Spaces disaster \u2014 cheap paints (gasp!) were purchased for the palace walls and they were just horrid, leaving one room in particular &amp;quot;with a horrible, unexpected purple tinge.&amp;quot; Lavender is the worst, after all. Kate is reportedly blaming the disastrous makeover &amp;quot;on her [pregnancy] hormones&amp;quot; and the whole design project will have to be done over again. That said, she&amp;#039;s retaining the same designer for work that&amp;#039;s planned for her and Prince William&amp;#039;s country estate. Just with nicer paint, presumably.
