This will affect all the activities the Duchess of Cambridge is involved in, including charitable projects. Until 2014, Kate Middleton will not be visiting other countries. Until the summer this is connected with pregnancy, and after the summer and till the beginning of 2014 it is assumed that Kate will be completely absorbed by the baby. Full maternity leave for over a year!
