Princess of Wales Shares Pregnancy Update During Grimsby Visit

The Princess of Wales, known for her discretion, may have let slip a little secret during her walkabout in Grimsby.

The locals had gone all out to welcome her, chanting “We want Kate!”

as she arrived.

Clearly feeling a connection to the people of Grimsby, she shared an update on her pregnancy.

Despite the freezing fog that delayed her arrival by an hour and a quarter, the streets of the coastal town were filled with excited well-wishers who warmly greeted the princess and her growing baby bump.

Despite the delayed start, Princess Kate managed to make time for everyone and even left her last stop 15 minutes later than expected.

Among the 2,000 well-wishers was Sandra Cook, who revealed, “The lady next to me gave her a teddy bear and I distinctly heard her say, ‘Thank you, I will take that for my D.' Then she stopped herself.”

Curious, Mrs. Cook asked, “You were going to say daughter, weren't you?”

To which the princess replied, “No, we don't know.

We're not telling.”

Diana Burton, who had given Kate the teddy bear, was too overwhelmed to recall the conversation.

However, Mrs. Cook, who works in a local charity shop and lives in Grimsby, was certain about what she heard.

She expressed her hope that she hadn't upset the princess, stating, “I was so thrilled to have met her and just recalled what I heard.

She was absolutely lovely, and I never expected for a second that what I said would cause so much debate.”

Mrs. Cook also added, “I have been here since 10 a.m., and it was worth every cold minute of the wait to see her.

She is just beautiful and so lovely and friendly.”

During the walkabout outside the National Fishing Heritage Center, there was more baby talk and plenty of gifts for Catherine.

Little girl Lucy Bell presented the princess with a posy of flowers, and as Kate accepted the gift, she held Lucy's tiny hand in hers.

Local fisherman John Vincent had the honor of guiding the royal visitor around the heritage center.

He shared his disbelief, saying, “Never in my life did I think I would get to talk to the future queen.

I wish my parents were alive to see it.”

Peter Foot, a 76-year-old, rose from his wheelchair to give the princess a bow, but Kate kindly told him to sit down.

He explained that he couldn't stand for long, which is why he used the chair.

He continued, “I was always taught to be a gentleman by my mother because that's the thing to do.”

Joan Riley, an 82-year-old, also expressed her excitement, stating, “Meeting the princess was worth the hour's wait in the cold.

I said it's a wonderful thing to be able to tell our grandchildren that we met the future queen.”

At Havelock Academy, all 1,000 pupils lined the approach to give Catherine a rapturous welcome.

She took the time to talk to several of them as she walked from her car.

Twelve-year-old George Shingleton presented her with a crown-shaped biscuit with “Kate” written in icing, and she commented on the delicious cooking aromas in the classroom.

As always, Prince William's wife looked stunning during the visit.

She wore a chestnut brown celeste wool coat from Hobbs, a staple in her wardrobe and part of her maternity wear.

The coat was paired with a pretty patterned dress from London high street label Great Plains.

Completing her look were her trademark black suede court shoes and a matching clutch bag.

Her makeup was flawless, and her hair was styled in her signature bouncy curls.

She also wore the discreet 18-karat Anushka gold and pearl drop earrings, which she has been seen wearing on various occasions.

In conclusion, Princess Kate's visit to Grimsby was a memorable one, with the locals showing their excitement and warmth.
