Pregnant Kate Middleton Meets 'One Direction,' Harry Styles Says Duchess Of Cambridge 'Didn’t Look Bumpy'
"One Direction's" Harry Styles has a good impression of Kate Middleton's pregnancy look. For him, the Duchess of Cambridge did not look bumpy at all.
The Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge, who is pregnant with the second Royal baby, attended the Royal Variety Performance on Thursday night, where the famous boyband, "One Direction" was set to take the stage. Harry Styles, 20 was impressed.
The enigmatic member told Daily Mail that after meeting Middleton, he congratulated her on the bump. "I said, 'Congratulations on the bump,'" Styles relayed. The singer added that the Duchess did not look like she's carrying anything at all, since she "didn't look bumpy."
It must have been the gown. Kate, who is already 16 weeks pregnant, reportedly having a difficult time with strong bouts of morning sickness, flaunt the tiniest hint of a baby bump under her floor length Diane Von Fustenberg lace gown. She was also wearing her hair in an elegant and yet simple up-do. This is the first time that the couple attended the Royal Variety Performance, as this is usually reserved for the Queen to do.
Aside from Harry Styles, the royal couple was also able to converse with other members of the band. The Prince was specially interested in the band's touring plans, even saying that he is "keeping a close eye" on the budding pop stars. Band members Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson described the experience as nerve-wracking. Liam Payne shared that it was the most nervous that he has ever been in his life. Tomlinson said he committed a serious faux pas, not calling Kate Middleton "ma'am," and going "Hi! How are you?" instead.
This is just one of the many engagements that the couple is scheduled to attend after the Duchess, returned to her royal duties in late October. She took a break from everything for a while because of her extreme morning sickness or hyperemesis gravidarium. The Duchess also recently attended a SportsAid (an organization that supports future Olympic stars) event in Brentford in London where she met budding atheletes and talked to them. Many called her visit inspiring.
