New mum the Duchess of Cambridge will be back at work sooner than expected with her first royal engagement scheduled less than eight weeks after the birth of her baby Prince George.
Kate will take a break from her ongoing maternity leave to attend the inaugural Tusk Convention Awards as a guest of honour alongside her husband, Prince William, on September 12, the Daily Mail reports.
It will be the Duchess’s first engagement since the birth of Prince George on July 22. She hasn’t been seen in public since departing Kensington Palace for her parents’ country home in Berkshire the following day.
All eyes will no doubt be on what Kate is wearing as it will be the first look at the Duchess’s post-baby wardrobe since the Cambridge family emerged from St Mary’s Hospital with Kate wearing a blue polka-dot frock by British designer Jenny Packham.
Prince William has already resumed his work on the royal circuit appearing at the Angelesey show in Wales earlier in the week, and has returned to work as a search and rescue pilot after two weeks of paternity leave.
The event next month is one close to William’s heart. It is organised by the Tusk Trust, a UK charity that funds African conservation projects to which the Prince is patron.
Prince William has close ties to the charity, as like his late mother Diana, he has a great passion for the country, people, and ongoing conservation work in Africa.
In a new documentary entitled Prince William’s Passion: New Father, New Hope, the Duke speaks of his work with the Tusk Trust and reveals he hopes his son will follow in his footsteps.
