Kate Middleton showed off her burgeoning baby bump during a date with Cheltenham races this afternoon

Kate Middleton showed off her burgeoning baby bump on a trip to the Cheltenham Festival this afternoon, braving the wet weather for some race-day fun.

The pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was all smiles as she arrived at the event, shielded from the rain by royal protection officers wielding huge umbrellas.

Getting her pregnancy styling spot on once again, Kate Middleton was the epitome of elegance in a cosy camel coat and £488 Aquatalia by Marvin K brown boots, teamed with the jaunty matching £240 Lock & Co Betty Boop hat she's worn twice of late.

Her burgeoning baby bump was just visible underneath.

Seemingly in high spirits, beaming Kate showed off a pregnancy glow, looking happy and healthy as she made her way to the royal box to watch proceedings.

The Duchess was joined by Prince William, Peter Phillips' wife Autumn Kelly, and Princess Anne at the event.

Kate follows in the footsteps of sister Pippa, who attended the races yesterday.

Earlier this week, it was revealed Kate Middleton is feeling 'much better' after a fragile start to her pregnancy.

According to reports, Kate has been indulging in her favourite sweet pregnancy treats of ‘chocolate, cake and biscuits' and keeping her pregnancy weight at bay with private yoga sessions at Kensington Palace.

We're glad to hear it!
