Royal aids have confirmed Kate Middleton is ready to resume with royal duties sometime in October. But according to another source, the Duchess didn't willingly decide to be out in the public again. Instead, Queen Elizabeth has supposedly forced her to get up and attend to her royal engagements.

According to Inquisitr writer Gregory Wakeman, the Duchess of Cambridge's decision not to be seen in public is not because of her pregnancy sickness, diagnosed as Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Instead, it's for the sole reason of not wanting to "show off her burgeoning baby bump and bloated features to the world as she continues to grow." So it's reportedly not surprising that Queen Elizabeth would force Kate Middleton to return to public appearances. Pregnant Kate needs to prove that her second pregnancy is not interfering with her royal duties.

Kate Middleton has been on hiatus for more than three weeks now since her second pregnancy was announced last Sept 8. She has missed out on various royal engagements and cancelled on her expected solo trip to Malta because of her pregnancy sickness. Prince Harry, respectfully, also postponed his grand 30th birthday celebration in lieu of her health condition. However, a spokesperson said that the Duchess is well enough to push through with planned engagements for October and November.

According to Daily Mail, royal aides have already scheduled Kate's next public appearances. But the spokesperson claimed these engagements have yet to be announced. Likewise, they are apparently also being reviewed with caution in case the Duchess cannot attend according to People. Kate Middleton may be ready to resume with her royal duties, but a royal aide reportedly claimed her health is still a priority. Her pregnancy situation is supposedly being monitored on a "day-to-day basis."

There's no definite date yet as to when fans will see the Duchess again. But she may be stepping out in public after her first trimester according to People. When that happens, media will be all over Kate Middleton again to document her second pregnancy. Her maternity wardrobe will definitely be a hot topic of discussion among fashion reports.
