St. James Palace made the most-awaited announcement on behalf of Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William: Kate Middleton is pregnant with the heir to the Royal throne, after Kate Middleton was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital yesterday in central London with an acute morning sickness which requires supplementary hydration and nutrients.

A pregnant Kate Middleton was admitted to the hospital with hyperemesis gravidarum, an acute morning sickness condition. Prince William was by her side at the hospital, according to Britain’s Press Association. Royal sources said that Kate Middleton is not yet 12 weeks into pregnancy.

Kate Middleton was taken ill over the weekend while she was staying with her parents in Bucklebury, Berks. Prince William was not with her at the time, as he was spending a weekend privately with friends, but rushed to be by her side when on knowing of her sickness.

St. James Palace issued a statement regarding Kate Middleton’s condition, “As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter.”

The news of Kate Middleton’s pregnancy brought joy to the Royal family. In another statement issued by the Palace, this was made clear. “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby. “The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news.”

PM David Cameron also reacted to Kate Middleton’s pregnancy news, and was quoted as saying to the BBC, “It’s absolutely wonderful news and I’m sure everyone around the country will be celebrating with them tonight.”
