The Duchess had to pull out of another official engagement due to her still suffering from acute morning sickness. The Duchess of Cambridge is thought to be around 11 weeks pregnant, with the couples second child reportedly due in April 2015.
Although the engagement had not been announced, the Duchess was meant to be visiting Sir Ben Ainslie's America's Cup team at it's new £12million headquarters at Camber Docks in Old Portsmouth. Back in June the Duchess attended a breakfast reception in honour of Britain's attempt to win the America's Cup with Ben Ainslie.

The Express reported that a royal source had confirmed the Duchess's trip to Portsmouth had been cancelled and that she had no plans to undertake any other official engagements before next week.
Kensington Palace said:
"Her engagements are being reviewed on a case by case basis. Any future engagements will be announced in due course."

There are also rumours circulating that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are planning an official trip to New York before the end of the year. However, it is thought that the Duchess will only attend if her severe morning sickness has subsided.
According to the Mirror Online:
"Kate is now planning a show-stopping visit to the Big Apple at either the end of November or the beginning of December and will stay in the world famous city for several days."
A royal source revealed:
"This trip is in the early planning phase but it’s a clear sign that she is on the mend. However, if there is any suggestion that the duchess isn’t well, it will be cancelled immediately."
If any other news comes to light on the New York trip or any upcoming engagements I will update this post as quickly as I can.
Hopefully we will see the Duchess out and about soon.
