Having kept her bump under wrap coats and dresses — as well as hidden under purses and demurely clasped hands — for a solid six months, the Duchess of Cambridge enjoyed that moment yesterday.
She attended a big party for Scouts at Windsor Castle yesterday.
In the castle's grounds, Kate met members of the Queen's Scouts — it's a special award — in place of the Queen herself, who was maybe nursing a hangover after a wild Saturday night's worth of celebrating her 87th birthday. (The palace's official line on Her Majesty's festivities: "a quiet day in private.")

She did a good job playing hostess.
None of the Scouts look nearly as terrified as they would be if Prince Philip was doing the rounds.
