Prince William recently revealed that his third child is due "any day now", and on Thursday, the Duke and his wife stepped out for what was Kate's last engagement before maternity leave. The couple spent the day in London celebrating the Commonwealth, ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in April.
Kate, who is due next month, was in high spirits as she arrived at Olympic Park. The Duchess sported a healthy pregnancy glow, showing off her baby bump in black trousers and a patterned Hobbs top. She beat the chill with a cream coat by one of her favourite brands, Goat. The royals' first engagement was attending a SportsAid event; SportsAid charity helps young British sportsmen and women who aspire to be the country's next Olympic, Paralympic, Commonwealth and world champions.
