Pregnant Kate Middleton takes on more parental duties, takes Prince George to see Santa

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, officially has put her severe morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum that nailed her to her home to rest) behind her as she fashionably returned to her royal duties. This also gave her much more time to take care of her and Prince William's 17-month-old royal son Prince George.

The Duchess, who is expecting her second child in April, is hands-on in styling their adorable toddler. This was made evident with the tasteful attire (a navy corduroy and socks) the little prince donned in his 2014 Christmas card. Hello Magazine discovered that Kate personally picked out the outfit from Amaia Kids.

"She is really lovely and a pleasure to help. She knows exactly what she likes and wants for her son and tends to pick out the items herself. Amaia is thrilled and 'truly honored' that Kate picked items from her store," shop co-owner Amaia Perso told Hello! Fashion as quoted by Classical Lite.

Kate and Prince William also took their little one to Santa's Magical Journey in Norfolk to meet Santa Claus. Prince George seemed to have enjoyed the wintery spectacle and loved all the vibrant Christmas creatures like reindeer, polar bears and even some Santa elves during their visit on Dec. 20.

According to the report by Mirror, as cited by IB Times, the llittle prince walked through a magical forest in order to personally meet jolly old Saint Nick.  The royal couple then witnessed a little chitchat between their son and Santa, who eventually gave the royal youngster a gift-wrapped wood train. The happy family then went on to trudge Santa's grotto at the Thursford Event Centre, paid the standard entrance fee, and conversed with other parents in the holiday-themed attraction. 

Kate has been attending to events and other royal affairs after recovering from the sickness that ailed her during the first stage of her pregnancy. This includes her participation in a charity work for Beavers.
