Duchess Kate meets One Direction at Royal Variety Performance, shows off small baby bump

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, and her husband, Prince William, attended the Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium today. Kate, who wore a black lace gown that showed off her baby bump, got a chance to meet One Direction.

The members of the boy band were in the lobby to meet the Duke and Duchess, shaking hands. Harry Styles later told the Daily Mail that she didn’t look pregnant, but he made sure to congratulate her. She is 16 weeks pregnant.

“I said congratulations on the bump,” Styles said, adding that she “didn't look bumpy.”

“It's the most nervous I think I've ever been in my life,” Liam Payne said.

One Direction was just one of many major stars set to take the stage for the charity event. Other artists who performed included Bette Midler, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding and Simply Red.

The beautiful black lace dress Kate wore was a Diane von Furstenberg gown, notes E! News.

It’s obvious that Kate is feeling much better, as brother James Middleton confirmed earlier this week. “She’s better,” he told ABC News. “I mean it’s not unknown that she suffered from this acute morning sickness and fortunately she is, I think, on the mend.”

Kate and William are already parents to one-year-old Prince George.
