Kate Middleton showed off her growing baby bump during a public appearance at a residential treatment center run by Action on Addiction, a charity organization she supports, on Tuesday morning.

This was the first public appearance the Duchess of Cambridge has made since returning from a “babymoon” in the Caribbean with her husband Prince William.

“It’s nice to be back,” Middleton was heard telling Action on Addiction’s chief executive, Nick Barton. “It’s a lovely day for it.”

A member of the center told reporters Middleton chatted with her about expecting her first child.  ”I asked her if she was nervous about having a child, and she said it would unnatural if she wasn’t. It’s just human, isn’t it?”

Middleton, who has been hiding her baby bump up until now, wore a black and white MaxMara Studio wrap dress.

“She looked really relaxed and rested after her break. She could have worn a coat, but she looked happy to show off her bump,” Judy Wade, the royals writer for the Observer, said.
