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.

OR Queen in this instance...
My bet..girl, and then boy.
That should put the cat among the pigeons.
Anyway...
RULE BRITANNIA!
Their child will automatically be in line for the throne since Parliament passed an amendment to the successor act against males have first dibs.
Hopefully we can get rid of that pesky bald gene
I don’t think that change is official yet.
Good thing they changed the law. The public would be very upset if Will dumped her for not producing a male heir, or worse, had her beheaded.
LOLOL!!!!
These people are such useless trash.
Where is the Guillotine when you REALLY need one?
Right now I’d much rather have their trash than ours!!!...and, theirs is much less expensive than ours...
I agree
Here’s to Kate’s genes dominating Grampy Chuck’s.
I can see the name now..
George Carl Peter Arthur Edward Henry Albert William Phillip Greg Bobby Michael Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
But they made it two whole generations without inbreeding again! That has to count for something?
LOL. Yes, you’ve got that about right - every name but Adolf. ;-)
WONDERFUL!
I wish Liz would pass the throne to charles so he can pass it on to William & Kate. truly...charles was divorced and shouldn’t have the throne.
You forgot “Mohammed”. Isn’t “Grandpa Prince Charles” Muslim leaning? Better stick that name in there as well.
It's good to be King....It's not bad being Prince either.....
Didn’t we fight a war to not hear about this crap?
Obviously I was in the wrong place at the right time.
