Kate Middleton's baby shower is not happening despite recent reports of recent week that Pippa to be planning a shower.

With only a few months left for the birth of the royal baby, royal experts say there is vritually no chance of baby shower.

"The added pressure that they are clearly very wealthy, and a lavish baby shower would be seen as highly inappropriate," said Victoria Arbiter, ABC News so-called Royal expert. "There's nothing they can't go out and buy themselves."

It was added that any gifts given to the royal couple would be "respectfully returned."

So for Kate it seems that she will likely shop less at high-end boutiques and more at British stores like Mamas and Papas, Arbiter said.

"They don't necessarily buy the top of the line products," Arbiter said. "They'll buy something practical and useful." And it helps that Mamas and Papas is one of the most popular baby brands. "Kate will likely shop for British products. She's well aware of the 'Kate effect' and knows whatever she buys will sell out. If a product does sell out from a British store, it's good for the economy."
