Video: Kate Middleton pregnant: Duchess of Cambridge feeling 'very well' as she presents Bradley Wiggins with Sports Personality of the Year award The Duchess, who also honoured Lord Coe with a lifetime achievement award, had not been seen in public since leaving the King Edward VII hospital on December 6. Wearing a green Alexander McQueen gown, she appeared on stage to present the awards before heading backstage to greet athletes including runner-up Jessica Ennis. The Duchess told presenter Gary Linker she was "very well" following her illness and told Paralympic athlete Martine Wright her time on stage had been "well scary." Earlier this month the Duchess received three days' treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition which leaves expectant mothers so ill they cannot keep food or liquids down.
