After giving birth to the new prince on July 22, and premiering her son to the world the following day, the Duchess of Cambridge has been tucked away at her parent's home in Bucklebury, Berkshire. When will Kate Middleton's next official outing be?
Hollywood Life reports that the Duchess will make her next public appearance on Sept. 12 at the Tusk Conservation Awards, where she will be a guest of honor. Tusk Trust, a charity based in the U.K. that focuses on African conservation efforts, will hold the big event, and as Prince William is a big supporter of the charity's work, it makes sense that his wife will be an honored guest.
Kate Middleton's first official appearance after premiering Prince George outside of the Lindo Wing comes two months are giving birth, as the Duchess has needed plenty of time to get to know her son and mother him, with the help of her own "baby whisperer" mother Carole Middleton, of course!
Reports suggest that since Prince William will be in North Wales on pilot duty most of the time, and the couple's Kensington Palace is still undergoing renovations, they may continue to stay in Bucklebury with Prince George for up to six months, Carole and Michael Middleton providing much-needed extra help.
"William and Kate's living arrangements are up in the air right now," a source told Gracia magazine. "The Middletons' home is such an oasis of calm for Kate, she is keen to stay as long as they can there, even up to six months. Kate feels so safe and secure with her family, as does William, and they want George's first six months to be as stable as possible."
Until we see the Duchess again, fans are surely eager to know what the style icon might wear to her first big appearance since giving birth. Did you know the polka-dotted dress she wore when she showed Prince George to the world was custom designed just for her by Jenny Packham, one of her favorites? She's also in love with maternity brand Seraphine, and as it takes time for a woman's body to return to its pre-pregnancy size, she may opt for chic maternity clothes for the event.
