KATE MIDDLETON has had her busiest start to a year in completing 38 official engagements during the first two months - despite expecting her third child at the end of next month. HRH Duchess Kate attended the Irish Guards St Patrick's Day Parade at Cavalry Barracks on Saturday.
Royal expert Grant Harold, who runs the website The Royal Butler, told the MailOnline: “If one year has a higher number of engagements compared to another, this will be down to what the royal has agreed to do and is happy to carry out.
“The Duchess will of course be having some family time once she has a third child and it is unlikely that she will be seen for a few months after the birth of the next royal baby.
“It is most likely that she will be trying to fit in as many engagements as possible before the due date, and make up for the time she was unwell and unable to attend some of her previous events.”
Mr Harold said the Duchess’s increased workload might be a show of support for Meghan Markle on how to carry out royal duties.
