Kate Middleton won’t be accompanying her husband Prince William on his next series of royal engagements in Africa
The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to the couple's third child, Prince Louis, in April this year and has made a number of appearances during her maternity leave for special occasions, such as Trooping The Colour
