The Duchess of Cambridge is at her busiest - navigating a calendar of official royal engagements and helping Meghan and Prince Harry plan their Windsor Castle wedding. Not to mention balancing motherhood duties, looking after Prince George, Princess Charlotte and preparing for baby number three.

This week looks like one of her busiest yet, with the 36-year-old royal even going to consecutive events on Wednesday - something she has been heavily praised for.

Kate Middleton came under fire however, for her wardrobe choices, with fans and followers deeming that her outfit on Wednesday wasn’t weather appropriate.

Braving the freezing temperatures, Kate walked to the National Portrait Gallery from her taxi without a coat - and while it was a short walk, fans were worried for the pregnant mother’s wellbeing.

It has been thought however that it could have been down to royal protocol with it recently announced that we would never see Kate Middleton remove her coat.
