Duchess Catherine is proving that third time is really the charm when it comes to pregnancy.
The glowing royal seems to be very content as she nears closer to her April due date – and she’s making the most of this time.

The unique designs certainly were dazzling, but as expected it was the pregnant mum that caught everyone’s attention.
