Wearing an unseasonally summery dress, the Duchess of Cambridge, who is halfway through her pregnancy, made no attempt to disguise her swelling tummy.

As she arrived at an addiction recovery centre in Clapham, south London, she stood with her hands clasped under her bump as she chatted to dignitaries, The Telegraph reported.

The Duchess looked tanned after her recent holiday in Mustique, when pictures of her wearing a bikini were taken and published in some foreign magazines.

She is visiting Hope House, a residential centre for women run by Action on Addiction, of which she is Patron.

As she chatted to women in an art therapy class, she told one of them: "Well done for getting sober."
