Duchess Catherine’s best maternity looks (the third time around)

Following her third bout of the rare and debilitating condition known as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), the pregnant Duchess stepped out from resting for a garden tour of her own home’s garden at Kensington Palace in soft florals to match the scenery.

As you will see throughout our timeline, any variant of blue is a maternity favourite for Catherine. This powder-blue-hued frock? Case in point.

In October 2017, two months after she was last photographed due to her morning sickness, Catherine showed off her growing pump to support mental health campaigners at Buckingham Palace.

Just a week or so later, Duchess Catherine stepped out in this delightfully apricot and black-trimmed dress for an impromptu dance with Paddington Bear.

You’d have know idea from her immaculate make-up and outfit that she’s suffered from extreme morning sickness just weeks earlier!

A visit to Kings College’s Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute won’t do unless you do so wearing blue! A look made famous during her pregnancy with Princess Charlotte, we love the Duchess’ thrifty approach to maternitywear.

Pumping around in blue!

February 1 and the Duchess is having FUN! The Duchess has played to her love of prints in this blue velvet, flared-sleeved frock at the Fotografiska Gallery in Stockholm.

And Prince William suited up to match his expectant wife. Bless.

There’s more to this red-and-white houndstooth coat that meets the eye. While Catherine’s coat, which she wore during the royal tour of Sweden, certainly packs a fashionating punch, it also appears to be similar to that of her late-mother-in-law Princess Diana’s style.

Symbolic and stylish? This is a clear royal winner in our books…

What a vision… This royal turned to one of her favourite designers, Jenny Packham, when it came to frocking up for the 2018 BAFTAS in February. This unexpected, deep, forest-green-coloured gown is as refreshing as Catherine’s pregnancy glow.

Blue for days!

Duchess Catherine repped a modern version of Royal Blue in this fit-and-flare frock for the First Royal Foundation Forum on February 28.

And it appears sister-in-law-to-be Meghan Markle picked up the same blue-toned memo!

There’s she goes again… Beautiful in blue! One of Catherine’s favourite maternity coats (she wore this coat during her second pregnancy with Princess Charlotte), the Duchess stepped out in style we’d wear if we were pregnant or not for the Commonwealth Service on March 12.

Not long now! About-to-bust Catherine lent on Jenny Packham once more, going all-out in a mint-green ensemble made by the designer to attend a children’s health conference in London on March 21.

Her green coat is a nod to spring for this just-out-of-winter British royal.

And she goes out with a bumpy bang!On March 22, Duchess Catherine carried out one last day of royal engagements before going on maternity leave in London, and looks glowier than ever.

This day/outfit the pregnant royal’s very last string of engagements before going on maternity leave.
