Prince William and Princess Catherine 'delighted' to be expecting third child
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced that they are expecting a third child.


The new was confirmed in a press release sent out by Kensington Palace on Monday morning.
"The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news," the statement continued.
Princess Catherine is, as with her first two pregnancies, suffering from a condition known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum – an acute version of morning sickness. She cancelled an engagement originally planned for the day of the announcement.
The Duke and Duchess had their first child, Prince George, on 22 July 2013. The four-year-old prince has just started school.
The couple's second child, Princess Charlotte, was born on 2 May 2015.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
