The Duchess of Cambridge will show off her baby bump at her own free will for first time when she visits a charity in London on Feb. 19.

Kate Middleton is scheduled to make a solo visit to Hope House, a 23-bed treatment center that houses women recovering from addictions in south west London. The stop is on behalf of Action on Addiction, a charity Middleton chose to use her celebrity to help bring attention to their cause.

Middleton's schedule was unveiled on Mail Online. According to the report, Middleton is expected to make a series of visits on March 5 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. The city, well-known for its fishing ports, has experienced such a decline in the fishing business that it now has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. The Duchess will get a guided tour by fishermen at the National Fishing Heritage Center, then stop by the Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. There she will speak to a group of young people who have been taking courses from her father-in-law Prince Charles' charity, The Prince's Trust. The Prince's Trust offers job training and resume-building skills to young men and women increase their chances for employment there.

Middleton will officially open the Havelock Academy, a school that will provide education to 1,000 underprivileged students between ages 11 and 18. It is her last stop on March 5.

Middleton's husband Prince William will not attend any of the visits with his wife. He is busy focusing on his flying training at RAF Valley.

Middleton will likely face a lot of media scrutiny on her growing baby bump tomorrow. Last week, she made global headlines when it was exposed for the first time in published pictures in several magazines. The images printed were of Middelton wearing a blue bikini while on holiday in Mustique.

Enstars reported that Star magazine became the first American publication to run the controversial photos of a pregnant Kate Middleton in a bikini, revealing her growing baby bump.

Star offers a five-page photo spread with the headline "Exclusive Royal Photos: Kate Shows Off Baby Bump!"

The weekly tabloid made the bold move of putting the magazine out on newsstands on Wednesday, a day after St. James Palace released a statement that they were "disappointed" that the same images were printed in Italian weekly Chi. Chi released the issue featuring the same pictures of Middleton on Feb. 13 with the headline "La Pancia Cresce," which when translated means "Your Belly Grows."

St. Palace wrote that the images in Chi were "a clear breach of the couple's right to privacy."
