Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton are expecting their first child, the palace announced today.
"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby," the palace said in a statement today. "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."
The duchess was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital today in central London with hyperemesis gravidarum, an acute morning sickness which requires supplementary hydration and nutrients, the palace said.
"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 statement said.
The baby will be the queen's third great-grandchild.

“Didn’t we fight a war to not hear about this crap?”
IIRC, the war had to do with taxation and not being ruled by a king. Many Americans still have ties to Merry Old England and this kind of information is interesting to them.
Are you kidding? Americans are more fascinated with the British Royal Family than the British themselves are.
I hope it’s a boy, otherwise they will be saddled with another Queen because they changed the succession law.
Henry VIII is spinning in his grave.
