A visit by the Duchess of Cambridge herself, Kate Middleton, to the set of Downton Abbey made for a moment in UK show business heaven earlier today.
The staff of the iconic, stately, early 20th Century home are frequently required to prepare for the arrival of important guests, but nothing like this.
Even Dame Maggie Smith, a.k.a. the Dowager Countess of Grantham, might have met her match in the form of the pregnant, glowing Kate Middleton.
The Duchess visited the set of the most profitable British TV show of all time, wearing a brand new coat from maternity label JoJo Maman Bebe.
She said earlier this week that she forgets she's pregnant sometimes. If you just glanced at this photo, featuring Kate and the Downton cast, you might too.
And she's due next month!
She met and chatted with the creator Julien Fellowes, and also met Zac Barker, who plays Lady Mary's son George, before being shown into the set.
Laura Carmichael, who plays Lady Edith Crawley, told the Mail UK): "It was very exciting for the cast and the crew. It was a very special day for Downton."
Just days after giving birth, Kate Middleton appeared in this blue dress and women the world over rejoiced to see her sharing her postpartum body proudly.
Kate Middleton was hospitalized for Hyperemesis Gravidarum during her pregnancy with Prince George, prompting a hospital which gave us this glimpse of one of her first maternity looks.
"Julien Fellowes thanked her in his speech for mentioning the show while in America, saying that she watched it and loved it," Carmichael added.
With that endorsement from the brunette beauty stateside, "She helped put us on the map ... she watches the show and says she really loves it."
The visit to the set was just the latest in a string of public appearances for the 33-year-old nicknamed "Lazy Kate" for working less than any other royal.
Either that tag was just plain wrong or she's taken a hint and doubled her efforts, because she's everywhere lately, even as she prepares to give birth!
That takes talent, to simultaneously represent the throne and its heir(s) while restricting access to the littlest one behind the scenes, all while pregnant.
What a beautiful dress Kate Middleton wore in her official engagement photo with Prince William. Not a surprise, given her sense of style and natural beauty.
