Two months after she was forced to cancel a visit to support young moms due to severe morning sickness (opens in new tab), Kate Middleton rescheduled her visit to Hornsey Road Children's Centre in north London to see the family and parental support services provided.

This afternoon, the pregnant duchess was spotted arriving at the family support center—which provides a place for expectant and new mothers to bond with each other, receive antenatal and postnatal services and find mental health support—dressed in a dusty pink coat, black knee-high boots, and tights.

Kensington Palace posted several pictures of the 36-year-old meeting with employees of the center, before chatting with families in the nursery who have found help and support from several of the center's charities.

While at the Hornsey Road Children's Centre, Kate told a single dad that William didn't know what exactly to do when he first became a father after the lone parent explained his early struggles with bringing up his child.

Speaking after meeting Kate, the father said: "She was saying William was sort of similar and I just wanted to let her know how Family Action have been there for me and I think they need more support."
