Kate Middleton has returned to royal duty for the first time since the announcement of her second pregnancy.
Wearing an Alexander McQueen coat and a Jane Taylor Hat, the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge waved and smiled to well-wishers as she joined her husband Prince William to greet the President of the Republic of Singapore and his wife Mary at London's Royal Garden Hotel on the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 21.
Showing the hint of a small baby bump, the current mom-of-one looked well, despite
having suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, a serious form of morning sickness, for the first three months of her pregnancy.

"I've been looking forward to getting out of the house," the Duchess joked with the Singaporean President, adding, "It's a bit colder than when we last met" (the last time was in Singapore, during their 2012 Asia-Pacific tour).
Yesterday, Kensington Palace confirmed to Us Weekly that the royal couple will welcome their second child in April, 2015. The baby will be a younger brother or sister to their first child, Prince George, 14 months. See the cutest photos of Prince George and his parents.
