The Duchess of Cambridge can now go ahead and give birth: Snooki, the former Jersey Shore star has penned an open letter offering the royal her best motherly advice.

The US reality star, whose real name is Nicole Polizzi, welcomed her baby boy, Lorenzo, last August, and says she's learned quite a bit about being a first-time mother.

Snooki has offered her top tips in an open letter, anticipating the moment Kate Middleton and her husband Britain's Prince William, bring their baby home.

"In the beginning, right when you take your royal golden nugget home to the castle is the most exciting experience of your life," Snooki writes.

"I couldn't wait to wake up in the middle of the night to take care of my little prince Lorenzo."

Snooki, 25, warned that feeling soon changes.

She admitted the long hours that come with taking care of a baby present a big challenge.

"That lasts for about a few days. Then it's like, 'I love you but OMG stop crying! I'm exhausted.' The lack of sleep you will get used to - just do your make-up, put a tiara on, and you'll look beautiful as usual," she jokes.

More seriously Snooki suggested Catherine play music and sing to her little one.

She said Lorenzo always loves to hear her sing and presumes the royal baby will be the same.

"He calms down and stares at me like he's in love, which makes me feel amazing - or he's just trying to tell me to shut the hell up because I can't sing," the reality star continues.

"I have no doubt that you will be an amazing mom," she adds, signing off, "but talking to other moms helps, especially being a new mommy. I think we can now add Goddess to your list of titles."

The Duchess of Cambridge's official due date has been reported as July 13.

Buckingham Palace is no doubt very grateful to have received Snooki's open letter.
