Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, 35, joined her husband Prince William, 35, and her brother-in-law Prince Harry, 33, at a charity event today. The pregnant royal wore a pink dress with flower motif appliquéd on.
The 60s inspired smock dress featured a black velvet trim around the neck and a black belt just above Kate’s growing bump. She wore velvet pumps with a heel to the event at Paddington Station.
After she endured negative comments about the size of her bump after her most recent appearance at Buckhingham Palace, Kate made sure her growing bump was on display today.
Her sparkling sapphire engagement ring was on her finger, and she wore a silver watch on the same wrist.
She held a black clutch bag in her right hand.
The Duchess’s hair, which was cut slightly shorter recently, was curled and blow dried.
Kate, William and Harry joined children from the various charities they support onboard the Belmond British Pullman.
They joined the cast and crew from the forthcoming film Paddington 2, the second instalment in the recent dramatisation of the tale of the bear in the blue coat from Darkest Peru.
Is Kate’s choice of colour for her latest outing a clue that the couple might be expecting a little girl?
The Duchess caused shockwaves when she wore blue on her first outing since her pregnancy was announced, causing many to speculate the baby is a boy.
Perhaps Kate is trying to level the playing field with this latest choice.
Kate, who suffers with extreme morning sickness, was criticised by some members of the public when she made her first public appearance since her pregnancy was made known.
One person wrote: “I can’t believe she’s prego, she looks too thin.”
Other unpleasant comments accused her of looking “emaciated”
Kate Middleton’s other James Middleton is said to have split from his long-term partner Donna Air.
