Pregnant Kate Middleton isn't slowing down.

Prince William's wife is adding more promo trips to her schedule, even with a royal baby on board.

The St. James's Palace has just announced that the Duchess of Cambridge will visit Wythenshawe in Manchester on April 23 for the launch of the Willows Primary School, a new school counseling program working to reduce the effects of addiction on children and families.

"Her Royal Highness will meet staff and volunteers from Place2Be, teachers and parents from The Willows and, privately, with children who have used the services of the charity," the palace said in a release.

"The program is a partnership between the Royal Foundation, Comic Relief, Place2Be and Action on Addiction."

Earlier today, Princess Cruises announced that Kate, 31, will be the godmother of Royal Princess, the newest addition to the line's fleet. The mom to be will have the honor of naming the ship at its June 13 launch in Southampton, England.

Kate and Will also recently visited Scotland for a two-day charity tour.
