The Princess of Wales has three gorgeous children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, with her husband Prince William. While Princess Kate's pregnancies weren't easy as she suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum during each one, she still managed to look utterly glowing during public engagements showing off her maternity wardrobe of dreams!

Kate's baby bump with Prince George

Prince George was born on 22 July 2013, but before welcoming her first child, the Princess (then Duchess) stepped out with her beautiful baby bump on show.

Just three months before giving birth, Kate was seen at the Naomi House Children's Hospice wearing a beautiful peach-coloured dress and coordinating coat.

In the same month, Kate paid a visit to the Warner Brothers' studio in Leavesden. This time she opted for a beautiful polka dot dress which highlighted her growing bump. She was pictured cradling her stomach as she met with employees.

Two months before George was born, Kate was pictured at one of the late Queen Elizabeth II's garden parties at Buckingham Palace. The Princess stood out in a canary yellow coat dress – and just look at her sweet bump!

Princess Kate revealed she suffered from morning sickness with all of her pregnancies, telling Giovanna Fletcher: " I got very bad morning sickness, so I’m not the happiest of pregnant people," on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast.  Despite her symptoms, the then-duchess was glowing when she left the King Edward VII hospital in 2012.

The Princess' baby bump with Princess Charlotte

The royal couple's only daughter, Princess Charlotte was born on 2 May 2015 and before her arrival, Kate was still working hard with many public engagements. Although, she did pair back some of them due to her extreme sickness.

During a day trip to Portsmouth, the royal styled out a white coat dress with a small bump visible underneath. This snap was taken three months before Charlotte was welcomed into the world.

Prince William was joined by his wife Princess Kate for a Service of Commemoration at St Paul's Cathedral to mark the end of combat operations in Afghanistan. While her husband looked dapper in his military dress, she went for matching navy and carefully clasped her hands around her sweet bump.

Blue certainly looked brilliant on the mother-of-two-to-be and royal fans saw her donning variations of the chic colour during her second pregnancy. In January 2015 Kate chose to wear a light blue shade when she visited the Kensington Leisure Centre and a more daring shade when she visited the Emma Bridgewater factory in the same year.

Baby bump number three

The royal couple's third child, Prince Louis, was born on 23 April 2018, and while Kate's engagements were once again stripped back due to her sickness, she did show off her bump in public on occasion.

Kate and William glammed up for a night at the BAFTAs in February 2018, with the Princess looking radiant in a gorgeous green gown which skimmed over her bump.

Princess Kate's pregnancy wardrobe was certainly not devoid of fabulous colours. This stunning green ensemble was worn by the then-Duchess of Cambridge when she spoke at a symposium she organised on early intervention for children and families with The Royal Foundation at the Royal Society of Medicine on March 21, 2018. Just beautiful!

During her tour of Sweden and Norway in February 2018, Kate couldn't have looked more regal. Heading to a dinner at the Royal Palace in Oslow, the Princess opted for the most resplendent pink long-sleeved gown that perfectly skimmed her bump. Across the top were dazzling silver embellishments adding an extra je ne sais quoi to the billowing gown.

Another beautiful blue number was worn by Kate in 2018 as she headed to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists just two months before giving birth to Prince Louis.

Royal blue! The Princess is a fan of blue as we have seen from her previous pregnancy looks and this deep, royal hue couldn't have looked more elegant.

A mere month before Louis was born, the then-Duchess was seen beaming at a SportsAid event at the Copper Box Arena in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The royal went for comfort with trousers and a ditsy patterned top, layered with a smart coat. They say your hair gets glossy during pregnancy, and judging by this photo, we agree!

Baby number four?

Whilst there have been no signs the Prince and Princess of Wales will soon be expecting their fourth child, it doesn't mean it's entirely off the cards as Kate has been caught in a number of "broody" moments over the last couple of years. 

Back in February 2022, the Princess admitted she felt "broody" as she chatted with parents and their babies at Copenhagen's Children's Museum and joked that husband William, worries about her working with under-one-year-olds because she returns home wanting "another one".

And in May 2022,  she was caught coo-ing over a baby crawling in front of her during a visit to a school in Glasgow, William quipped: "Can you get my wife out of here before she gets broody?" The Princess is passionate about early years and gets to interact with lots of children through her impactful Shaping Us campaign which was launched last year.
