Duchess Kate talks baby during visit to Grimsby

Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, was met by cheering crowds in the seaside town of Grimsby, England, on Tuesday, where she is spending the day on a series of public engagements.

The pregnant 31-year-old's arrival by helicopter was delayed by more than an hour due to weather, the BBC reports. When she arrived, wearing a brown Hobbs coat over a Great Plains dress, flag-waving crowds chanted "We want Kate!"

Kate, who is due to welcome her first child in July, talked about her pregnancy with one well-wisher.

According to People, Bobbie Brown, 42, asked the duchess if the baby had been moving. She replied, "Yes, it is. Very much so."

Kate's first stop was the National Fishing Heritage Centre, where she was given a guided tour and learned about the environmental sustainability of fishing in the North Sea, the BBC said. She also visited the Peaks Lane Fire Station, met patients from a nearby hospice and is due to tour Havelock Academy, where she will officially open a new building at the school.
