Kate Middleton's First Public Appearance Since Pregnancy Announcement: What To Expect

Sain April 21, 2025

Hey there, royal watchers! So, here's the scoop: The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has been on a bit of a break since announcing her third pregnancy earlier this month. But guess what? She's ready to make her grand return to public life. Kensington Palace has confirmed that Kate will be attending an event at Buckingham Palace on World Mental Health Day, which falls on October 10. This will mark her first public appearance since the exciting news.

A Star-Studded Mental Health Celebration

Kate will be joined by her husband, Prince William, and her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, for this special occasion. In a statement from the palace, it was announced, “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will attend a reception at Buckingham Palace on World Mental Health Day.” Now, this event isn’t just any gathering—it's a celebration of the incredible work being done in the mental health sector across the UK. The guest list is nothing short of impressive, featuring leaders from top mental health organizations. It’s clear that mental health is a cause close to the royal family’s heart, and they’re excited to honor those making a difference.

Kate's Health Journey

Now, let’s talk about Kate’s health for a moment. The 35-year-old duchess has had to miss a few events recently, including her son Prince George’s first day at school. Why? Well, she’s been dealing with a severe form of morning sickness known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum. This is the same condition she faced during her pregnancies with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. It's tough, but she's handling it with her usual grace and determination.

Prince William Speaks Out

Recently, Prince William opened up about the happy baby news and gave us a little update on his wife’s health. At the National Mental Health and Policing Conference in Oxford, England, he said, “It’s very good news. We need Catherine to get over this first bit, and then we can start celebrating. It’s always a bit anxious to start with, but she’s well.” He also added, “There’s not much sleep going on at the moment.” Sounds like the royal household is just as excited and a little sleep-deprived as any expectant family!

On September 4, Kensington Palace officially announced the happy news about the royal couple expecting their third child. The statement read, “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child.” And guess what? “The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.” It's a joyous time for the royal family, and everyone is thrilled about the newest addition on the way.

However, as with her previous pregnancies, Kate is experiencing Hyperemesis Gravidarum, which has led her to cancel a few engagements, including a planned visit to the Hornsey Road Children’s Centre in London. The palace assured everyone that Kate is being well cared for at Kensington Palace. Congratulations once again to the soon-to-be family of five!
