New mother Kate Middleton joined husband Prince William in a surprise public appearance at an agricultural show in Wales today.
Kate, who was to resume her royal duties since the birth of Prince George only by September 12, decided last minute to join William to launch the Ring O' Fire Coastal Ultra Marathon at the show in Anglesey, the island where the prince has been based as a Royal Air Force (RAF) search and rescue pilot.
Slim and relaxed, 31-year-old Kate, was dubbed a "yummy mummy" by the British press as she met some of the event's participants, as well as race volunteers, before getting proceedings underway.
Five-week old George, who was born on July 22, did not attend the event and when asked by the pregnant wife of the annual marathon organiser how the little prince was doing, Kate replied: "He's really well; he's with his grandma".
According to local Welsh media reports, the event today was one of the final public engagements made by Prince William on Anglesey before his time their comes to an end.
The event, a 135-mile gruelling foot race around the rugged coast of Anglesey, is staged over three days and includes 13,695 feet of ascent.
