She said: "He's a lovely, lovely man, English boy, a musician, and he's wonderful. I feel very lucky."
As the due date approaches, Kate still thinks she is expecting a baby girl, and joked she expects the new arrival to be "wild", following in the footsteps of the other women in her family, including her mother Goldie Hawn.
