The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are having a baby, it was announced today.
Catherine, 30, was this afternoon taken to King Edward VII Hospital in central London with acute morning sickness and is expected to be kept in for several days.
In a statement on their website, the couple said they are 'delighted with the news'.
Royal sources stressed that the pregnancy is in its very early stages and would not have been announced at this time had it not been for the fact that she had been taken to hospital.
The baby will be born third in line to the throne. The Queen, Prince Philip and other members of the royal family are also ‘delighted’.
Kate was driven to hospital by her husband, Prince William, earlier today after feeling ill at her parents' home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, over the weekend.
