Kate Middleton has wrapped up her baby bump in a maroon dress as she braves the icy weather in London.

The Duchess of Cambridge kept her little black clutch bag in front of her growing stomach, managing to hide her barely-visible bump for the majority of her introductions.

She teamed her cosy outfit, thought to be the £480 Eloise Tunic Dress from Goat, with a pair of black tights and suede court shoes as she prepared to open a mental health conference.

The Duchess of Cambridge is in the capital to attend a forum on how schools can tackle mental health problems.

At the Place2Be school leaders forum, expert speakers will consider how schools can provide practical support to children, young people and their families.

Pupils from the Bridge Academy, a school in London, handed the Duchess a bouquet of flowers as she was introduced to a small group of students.

Kate appeared to be chatting with the children about what they got up to during half term as she worked her way along the line.

Kate, who is a royal patron of Place2Be, has attended the past two conferences hosted by the charity.

This year’s conference, entitled ‘I’m Fine!’, includes presentations from experts in child psychiatry and psychology, as well as headteachers working in some of the most disadvantaged parts of the UK.

Kate, who is pregnant with her third child, has previously spoken out about supporting children and parents with their mental health.
