Do you see the pregnancy glow yet?

Kate Middleton made her first public appearance since announcing that she and Prince William will be expecting a little royal baby, attending the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year Awards in London on Sunday.

In a statement, the Palace told E! News that the duchess graced the event "in response to a long-standing invitation from the BBC.‪‪"

Dressed in a long, dark-green Alexander McQueen gown with bell sleeves and a deep V-neck, Middleton stood beside soccer champ David Beckham to present British professional road- and track-racing cyclist Bradley Wiggins with the Sports Personality of the Year Award, although the duchess kept quiet while Beckham did all the talking.

She also presented British politician and former athlete Seb Coe with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
