But today, as she arrived at Westminster Abbey to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Queen's Coronation, the Duchess of Cambridge showed she has no intention of hiding away in the final stretch.
The Duchess unveiled yet another outstanding maternity look for the occasion: a bespoke Jenny Packham dress and coat.
Blooming: Kate arriving at Westminster Abbey today wearing Jenny Packham dress and coat, Jane Taylor hat and LK Bennett shoes
Nude: The Duchess of Cambridge arrives for a service of celebration to mark the 60th anniversary of the Coronation Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey in a nude ensemble
Kate accessorised the outfit with a pale peach pillbox hat by milliner Jane Taylor, worn last year for the Jubilee celebrations at St Paul's.
She also wore a dazzling pair of earrings, which are reported to have been a wedding gift from Prince Charles.
The Queen, arriving on the dot of 11 o'clock, wore a stunning pale gold dress with pleated bottom, thought to be made by her in-house dressmaking team, led by Angela Kelly.
Camilla too opted for a pale shade, wearing a nipped-in coat in the lightest shade of egg shell blue and a broad-brimmed lace-trimmed hat.
