The big day is almost here for Duchess Kate!
With her due date just around the corner, the expectant mom put in what is likely to be one of her final public appearances before she and Prince William welcome baby #2.
Visiting the Turner Contemporary gallery in Kent, England, Kate showed off her growing bump in a chic dalmatian-print coat by Hobbs, one of her favorite labels. If the outfit looks familiar, that's because she's worn it in the past. It's the same coat she wore for her last royal outing before Prince George's birth in 2013.
I love that Kate regularly recycles items from her wardrobe - even evening gowns! - for public appearances when she could clearly afford to splash out on a new look every day of the week.
By now the 33-year-old mom must be used to fielding questions about her pregnancy weight, so it likely came as no surprise that the topic came up yet again as she chatted with folks gathered at the event.
"I said, 'You're looking very trim,'" one resident relayed to reporters of her conversation with the Duchess. "She said, 'I sometimes forget I'm pregnant.' I had five children, and I know how good she looks!"
Is it just me, or is it a little inappropriate to be bringing up a pregnant woman's weight gain? I feel like it should be added to the list of comments to politely avoid, along with "Wow, you look tired!" and "Oh my gosh, you must be having that baby any minute!" Actually, I'm still in my 2nd trimester, thanks.
In any case, Kate seemed to weather the questions in royal style, also dishing on what her busy toddler George is up to these days.
"He sounds quite a handful," reveals another woman in the crowd today. "She is chasing after him a little bit."
Though Kate and William haven't revealed their exact due date, they did confirm that the baby is due in April. So it shouldn't be too long before we hear the happy news!
What do you think? Will it be a boy or a girl?
