Kate Middleton to show off baby bump during visit to Grimsby next week

Pregnant Kate Middleton will show off her burgeoning baby bump during an official engagement on Tuesday

Kate Middleton will make her second official appearance since announcing her pregnancy back in December, it has been confirmed.

The pregnant Duchess of Cambridge will show off her burgeoning baby bump during a visit to the Linconshire seaside town of Grimsby.

The visit comes as Kate Middleton, thought to be about 22 or 23 weeks along, gets back to royal work after a luxurious holiday in Mustique.

She'll visit Grimsby on March 5, to look round the National Fishing Heritage Centre, before moving on to the Humberside Fire and Rescue Service and finally opening new comprehensive school Havelock Academy.

And it seems the Northern town is just a little bit excited about Kate Middleton's visit.

Local paper, the Grimsby Telegraph, is planning a 12-page souvenir pull-out documenting the Duchess's day, while organisers are collecting messages for Kate from people in the town, to be put into a presentation shown to Kate during her visit.

It's thought Kate will make the trip alone, as Prince William gets back to RAF duties.

After recovering from a severe bout of morning sickness, which forced her to reveal her baby news early, it's thought it'll be full steam ahead for Kate, who has decided to carry on her royal work during the early stages of her pregnancy.

According to the Mirror, royal aides have been 'working behind the scenes' with Kate's chosen charities, to make sure she can make as many visits as she able over the next few months.
