Jennifer Lopez recently praised Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, for how she is handling her high-profile pregnancy in the public eye. Having gone through a similar situation herself, the former American Idol judge feels that the 31-year-old royal is doing quite well with all of the added pressure of the media and the general public. Kate's last very public ordeal was her 2011 wedding to Prince William, and this week Prince Harry unveiled a commemorative plaque in front of Westminster Abbey to honor the Royal Wedding.

After this week's celebration for the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, Prince Harry held a small ceremony to unveil the commemorative plaque in honor of his brother's wedding, at which he was the best man. After he spoke with clergymen and unveiled the plaque, a young girl presented him with the coronation goblet that was made in 1952 - the year his grandmother took the throne.

In terms of the Royal Wedding plaque, the black and silver panel that now sits outside of the Abbey depicts a scene from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's 2011 wedding.

Hugo Vickers, chairman of The Outdoor Trust, said of the prince, "He was interested to see the panel. It depicted the royal wedding and I couldn't resist the line that, since he was the best man, he was the best man to unveil it."

Visibly pleased with the plaque commemorating his brother's wedding to Kate Middleton, Harry addressed the people responsible for the project, saying, "Well done, you guys, for making it happen."

The plaque was unveiled after the coronation ceremony, where Harry sat with his brother and the 8-months pregnant Duchess. Despite being just about a month away from delivering her first child, Kate is set to attend a few more events, including the Coronation Festival around the due date, before giving birth.

Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez recently admitted her admiration towards the pregnant Duchess.

"It's tough when you're pregnant," she told this week's Stylist Magazine, "but Kate handles it with a lot of grace and integrity and that's why she is what she is."
