The Duchess of Cambridge was forced to cancel a number of official engagements due to her severe morning sickness, a condition known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
But she put on a brave face this morning as she joined her husband Prince William to official greet the President of Singapore Tony Tan Keng Yam at London's Royal Garden Hotel.

Middleton was even all smiles as she had her own 'Marilyn moment' when a gust of wind caused her skirt to fly up.

The couple announced yesterday their new arrival is due next April, but they did not share the gender of their unborn child.
