Kate shows off royal baby bump in London

She’s been desperate to keep her pregnancy private but there was no hiding the burgeoning royal bump yesterday.

The Duchess of Cambridge seems to have realised her stomach is getting too big to keep under wraps and decided to show it off instead, happily posing for photographs with her hands resting on her growing tummy.

Kate was in Clapham, south west London, visiting Hope House, an addiction recovery centre for women.

It was her first official engagement of 2013.

Kate’s bump was clearly on display.

Kate is believed to be in the fourth month of her pregnancy.

She didn’t seem shy about touching her growing stomach.

The Duchess looked absolutely radiant in her grey wrap dress.

Kate showed no signs of the morning sickness that dogged the early months of her pregnancy.

It was Kate’s first official engagement of 2013.

Kate is fresh from a family holiday in the Caribbean.

She didn’t seem upset by the recent publication of private pictures from her trip.

The Duchess happily chatted to kids.

Kate didn’t let author Hilary Mantel’s recent negative comments affect her.

Hilary said Kate was a “plastic princess born to breed”.

The comments angered the British public who have leapt to Kate’s defence.
