Though she had two rough weeks at hospital after getting diagnosed from severe morning sickness, pregnant Kate Middleton was back to her duty. She was found to be enjoying sumptuous lunch with her husband William and 27 members of staff.

Kate was looking in a better condition and was wearing a blue and white floral print dress with a dinner jacket. The lunch was organized at Bumpkin in Notting Hill for St James's Palace staff. They had their lunch in the Queen's Room and were there for three to four hours.

All had turkey except Kate, as she only had drinks. It was found that the party had different drinks for one and all. "It seems even the Royals attend office Christmas parties - although it was a much more sophisticated affair, without all the usual drunken antics and revelry", said people known to the matter.

When being confirmed from a St James Palace spokesman, he said that Kate and William did come for the celebrations. Lunch was said to be the second public outing of Kate after getting discharged from the hospital after suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum. The condition causes severe vomiting and weakness to expecting mothers and even leads to dehydration.
