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.

Their child will automatically be in line for the throne since Parliament passed an amendment to the successor act against males have first dibs.

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.

You forgot “Mohammed”. Isn’t “Grandpa Prince Charles” Muslim leaning? Better stick that name in there as well.
