Is the Middleton family bourgeois showing, or are they just having a little fun with Princess Kate's mom-to-be status?

That depends how you feel about celebrity fashion lines, fragrances and... baby shower paper party plates?

Yep--Carole and Michael Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge's mom and dad, are promoting a line of party products on the website of their family-owned business, Party Pieces, aimed at cashing in on the royal pregnancy.

"American style" baby showers are starting to catch on in the U.K., and the Middleton's line of "A New Little Prince" and "A New Little Princess" party packs are ready. And on sale!

"Little Prince" party kits include plates, invitiations, and the "Little Princess" kits also have napkins.

So what do you think? Crass or cute?
