Style up your baby bump in a boucle coat by Seraphine

No doubt the Duchess of Cambridge is already planning her wardrobe for the official visit to Bhutan and India in April.

We can't wait to see what Kate chooses to wear, but until then, let's look back at one of the highlights of her whirlwind three day tour of New York back in December 2014, when she was pregnant with Princess Charlotte.

Here at Fashion Finder, we just love how down to earth the Duchess is. This time Kate wore an amethyst colored coat by high street store Seraphine, her go-to maternity label. And she's not alone! Kim Murray, Gwen Stefani and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden are all fans too.

Check out the rich jewel tone of this coat, as well as the black velvet ribbon trim and boucle-tweed texture. But the best news is that it's available to buy! Click the link (right) now.

Prince William and Kate, who was wearing laidback skinny jeans and a navy jumper, apparently wanted a quiet table out of the way.

'They both looked a little tired but seemed to have a lovely time and left at about 10.30pm,' said the source.

Clearly making the most of his night off his East Anglian Air Ambulance duties, Prince William opted for a glass of white wine, whilst Kate had a sparkling water. 

And it seems that the romance is still very much alive for the pair, who were reportedly 'leaning into one another chatting away, laughing and joking.'

On the pub's website, the haunt is described as an 'outstanding Norfolk Country pub/restaurant that combines traditional period features with stunning modern-day comfort and luxury hotel accommodation.'

A spokesperson for Kensington Palace declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline. The Crown Inn was contacted by MailOnline for comment and is awaiting response. 

The Duchess of Cambridge this weekend suggested she and the Duke of Cambridge, a helicopter pilot, could have another flier in her family as their two-and-a-half-year-old son is 'obsessed' with the air cadets.

Kate was speaking as she stepped out in her first engagement as Honorary Air Commandant of the Air Cadets to mark the 75th anniversary year of the Air Training Corps.

Kate attended a thanksgiving service at the RAF church of St Clement Danes in central London and a special reception where she told Cadet Warrant Officer Lucinda Conder that she has shown George pictures of Spitfires.

In April, the royal couple will visit India, which will be the first time Kate or William have journeyed to the country before. Despite no official itinerary, it's reported they will travel round the Asian subcontinent between April 10 and 17 without, George, two, and Charlotte, nine months

Ms Conder, 19, the top female cadet, said: 'He is now obsessed with the air cadets and wants to join. We are going to have to push that one when he gets to 12.'

Kate assumed her new role with the Air Cadets in December, taking on the post from the Duke of Edinburgh who had been involved in the organisation for more than 60 years.
