Kate Middleton Just Made Her First Appearance Since Announcing Her Third Pregnancy
In early September, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William announced they’re expecting a third child. “The Queen and members of both families are delighted,” read the official statement from the Royal Family, which is how the couple officially told the world their happy news.
The couple hasn’t revealed much else since making this announcement, though. We know the Duchess is experiencing morning sickness, as she did with her previous two pregnancies, and Prince William told a midwife on September 20 that he’d be seeing her “sooner” than she thinks, which led people to believe the Duchess’ due date is just around the corner. But that’s just speculation, of course.
What isn’t speculation, however, is that the Duchess made her first public appearance since announcing her pregnancy on Tuesday (October 10). She, along with Prince William and Prince Harry, hosted a Buckingham Palace reception honoring workers in the mental health field. She wore an effortlessly chic power blue dress with lacy sleeves and her hair down is flowing waves. Check out the video of her entrance into the event, below:
Mental health is a case close to the Duchess, Prince Harry, and Prince William’s hearts. In April, they released 10 powerful short films showcasing people from all walks of life speaking openly about their mental health—and, specifically, revealing who they first told about their struggles. You can watch them all, in full, here.
This appearance is coming off a news cycle dominated by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, whose relationship has been meticulously documented and analyzed. The coverage was especially heavy at last week’s Invictus Games in Toronto, where Prince Harry and Markle held hands in public for the first time.
The Duchess is reportedly due next spring.
