Kate Middleton for the first time has spoken publicly about her second royal baby's due date. The Duchess of Cambridge reportedly told a charity volunteer at the Brookhill Children's Centre in Woolwich, which she visited Wednesday, March 18, that she is expecting to give birth "mid-to-end of April."
When asked when the sibling of Prince George would be born, Middleton replied, "I'm due mid-April, to the end of April. Not long to go now," volunteer Christine Osborne told reporters.
Osborne, who has worked for the family support charity Home-Start for seven years, said she could not resist asking the pregnant Duchess. "It's very exciting - and it was wonderful to have her here," Us Weekly quoted her as saying.
The 33-year old wife of Prince William visited an on-site nursery at the children's centre, meeting with staff members and families who rely on the charity's services. The children's centre is run by Home-Start, an organization that provides support to parents and young families struggling with mental health problems and disability. Home-Start operates with a wide network of 15,000 volunteers such as Osborne, according to Mirror.
The pregnant royal mother stepped out for her charity visit Wednesday morning in a $63 polka-dot maternity dress by ASOS. She accessorized the thrifty dress with silver jewelry, a small black clutch, and black pumps. According to reports, the dress quickly sold out on ASOS website less than an hour after the Duchess was photographed rocking it.
While Middleton may have shared her second child's due date during her appearance at the Brookhill Children's Centre, she has yet to reveal the baby's gender. The royal couple are still keeping mum about it, while several speculations have been swirling around the royal family for the past months since Kate announced her second pregnancy. It was reported earlier here that the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby girl, but no confirmation from the royals has been made.
