Princess Eugenie is due to give birth to her second child any day now, but the royal is still fulfilling her royal duties, having visited a school to learn about their Voices of Welcome project just last week. 

In an Instagram post shared by The Anti Slavery Collective on Monday, the heavily pregnant royal looked radiant as ever as she smiled alongside students and teachers from The Archbishop's School in Canterbury.

Princess Eugenie stepped out in Canterbury for the poignant visit

The post read: "Our co-founder @princesseugenie visited @archbishops_school_canterbury alongside the Rt Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, the Bishop of Dover, to learn about the school’s Voices of Welcome project. 

"The project engages children from Afghanistan, Ukraine and Britain to work together to explore the value and challenges of cross-cultural exchange, and its enrichment to school communities."

Princess Eugenie looked lovely for the occasion, dressing her blossoming baby bump in a floral print maxi dress from Cefinn Studio. The elegant smocked 'Isla' gown featured a romantic ruffled bodice and frilled tiers on the skirt.

When is Princess Eugenie due to give birth?

Princess Eugenie is just weeks away from giving birth to her second child with her husband Jack Brooksbank

The couple's surprise pregnancy announcement on Instagram was shared earlier this year, and was swiftly met by flurries of well-wishes from royal fans. 

Buckingham Palace later confirmed the news, releasing in an official statement: "The family are delighted and August is very much looking forward to being a big brother."

The Princess, who is a proud advocator for sustainability and championing climate-positive charities, previously told HELLO! that it was becoming a mum that heightened her awareness of the need to protect the planet for future generations. 

"Since August came into my life, it's positively impacted my desire to do more. Priorities change when you have children; you want to do everything you can for them - and for your grandchildren. "August is only two, but I hope that what I'm doing will seep through to him and that one day he takes it on, too."
