Kate Middleton and Prince William are expecting their third child, Kensington Palace announced in a statement released on Monday, and the queen is delighted by the news.
The look on William's face in the photo above from two years ago still says it all, here we go again on royal baby No. 3 and all the hoopla that goes with one.
Officials said the Duchess of Windsor is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a form of severe morning sickness, and will not carry out her engagements on Monday, The Associated Press reported.
William and Kate already have two children, Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2.
When Kate was eight weeks pregnant with Prince George she was hospitalized for several days. There had been speculation for weeks that Middleton was pregnant and her hospitalization forced the British royal family into making the early announcement.
“This is a condition that we do take very seriously because this is a condition that can potentially cause a miscarriage, as well as harm to the mother,” Robert Atlas, M.D., chief of the obstetrics and gynecology department at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, told Newsmax Health at the time.
“Although 70 percent of women have some form of nausea and vomiting, the severity associated with this condition occurs in less than 1 percent of pregnancies, said Dr. Atlas. “At Mercy, of the 3,000 deliveries we perform a year, we see this perhaps 15 to 20 times.”
