Make room, Prince George! Prince William and Duchess Kate are expecting again!
How exciting! After welcoming Prince George into the world last summer, Prince William and Duchess Kate are expecting another bundle of joy! The BIG news has been confirmed by royal officials and Duchess Kate is still within her first trimester. So, less than 12 weeks along. Kind of surprised that they would announce this early, but given Kate’s visits to the hospital during her first pregnancy due to hyperemesis gravidarum (an extreme form of “morning sickness”), they probably thought it best just to make it public. According to sources, Kate is experiencing HG again with this pregnancy and had to skip out on a visit to Oxford with Prince William. Poor thing. Fortunately, she hasn’t been hospitalized yet.
The royal baby is due in the spring and is fourth in line for the throne. It will be interesting to see if Kate is able to make any official appearances. She is supposed to travel to Malta later this month. The pregnancy announcement explains why the Duchess has been low key the last few weeks.
Congrats William, Kate, and baby George!
