The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, donned pastel pink for a Royal event on Monday, complete with a baby bump, and the outfit fueled speculation a princess may be on the way.

InStyle magazine reported on Middleton’s coat, made by Alexander McQueen, and a Jane Taylor hat to match, but admitted that the color may not hint at the baby’s sex.
“Perhaps, but probably not, considering the expectant mother has worn the elegant coat with pearl buttons before, at the Trooping the Colour back in 2013,” the magazine said. At the time she was expecting Prince George.
The public is happy to see Middleton, who is due in April, out and about. She suffered from severe morning sickness, called hyperemesis gravidarum, during both of her pregnancies, the
Daily Mail said. Hospitalized for the condition during her first pregnancy, the Duchess struggled in the early months of her second pregnancy, canceling engagements and being forced to take it easy.
But she’s been out frequently since then, even traveling to the United States with Prince William.
Monday’s event, also attended by Queen Elizabeth, brought out most of the Royal family for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in London. The annual celebration of the Commonwealth of Nations is held on the second Monday in March. The Queen delivered a pre-recorded address, and this year’s theme focused on young people, under the age of 25,
PopSugar reported.
As she gets closer to her baby’s birth next month, Middleton won’t be attending many engagements, which may explain why her every move – and outfit – raises speculation.
