Kate Middleton Pregnancy Update: Duchess Takes Up Several Official Engagements Alongside Prince William Following Their 'Babymoon'
After battling pregnancy sickness, Kate Middleton is now resuming her royal duties. It seems the Duchess of Cambridge is feeling much better as she will be joining Prince William for more public appearances later this week.
Mirror UK broke the news about Kate Middleton and Prince William's "series of public engagements" on Nov. 3. The report states that the Duchess, who is now past her first trimester, has "recovered from morning sickness."
Kate Middleton will reportedly step out on Saturday, Nov. 8, for a day trip to Wales. On that day, the royal couple is also set to enjoy the Wales vs. Australia Rugby Union match. The sports event takes place at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. During the game's half time, the Duchess and the Duke of Cambridge will reportedly also meet injured military men in the President's box.
Prior to attending the sports event, Kate Middleton and Prince William will be paying a visit at the Valero Pembroke Refinery located in south West Wales. There they will meet and greet industrial workers, trainers, apprentices for the 50th anniversary of the refinery. The visit is a tribute to those 1200 employees who contribute 1.5 million pounds per week to the Welsh economy.
The report notes that the couple's Wales trip will end on Sunday, Nov. 9. They will return to London to attend Remembrance Day service that will be held at Cenotaph in Whitehall. The Duke and the Duchess will be joining the Queen of England and other royals for the ceremony.
A pregnancy complication called hypermesis gravidarum kept Kate Middleton away from public eye for more than a month. It was only in late October when the Palace made the important announcement of the Duchess' recovery. On Oct. 21, she made a comeback and appeared in her first royal engagement since her second pregnancy was announced.
Telegraph UK reported that the Duchess joined her husband to welcome President of Singapore Tony Tan Keng Yam and his wife Mary. Kate Middleton seemed excited about the event as she told the Singaporean president: "I've been looking forward to getting out of the house, that's for sure."
The royals recently returned from a week-long vacation. According to Us Weekly, Kate Middleton and Prince William travelled to Scotland for their "Babymoon." They were reportedly accompanied by their son Prince George. A source told the celebrity news publication that she is "doing a lot better" and is due in April 2015.
