Aww, we’ve got a reason to celebrate today because it has been revealed that Kate Middleton is pregnant with baby number three!
Kensington Palace has confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are giving 3-year-old Prince George and 2-year-old Princess Charlotte a new baby brother or sister. The statement read: The news was revealed in a statement from Kensington Palace which read: “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child.
“The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.”
During her first two pregnancies, Kate, 34, battled acute morning sickness, also known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum. It’s believed she is suffering with it for her third pregnancy and is not carrying her royal duties.
Earlier this year, Kate hinted that a third child could be on the way. Responding to a cuddly gift given to her, Kate laughed and boldly stated: “We will just have to have more babies.”
