The Duke of Cambridge is to make his first appearance since it was revealed he would become a dad for the third time.
William will attend a policing conference in Oxford focusing on mental health, the day after Kensington Palace announced the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby.

Kate, who is less than 12 weeks pregnant, was forced to pull out of a public engagement on Monday due to severe morning sickness.
The Duchess is suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, as she did in her previous pregnancies, and is being cared for at Kensington Palace.
