St. James Palace has confirmed that Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton to you and me) are expecting their first child, and that the royal family is ‘delighted.’
The couple married in April 2011 and have been dogged by pregnancy rumors since the first. The news comes as Middleton, in the very early stages of pregnancy, was admitted to a private hospital on Monday with acute morning sickness, requiring supplemental hydration and nutrition. She is expected to be released in a few days and rest afterwards. Regardless of sex, the couple's first-born will inherit the throne after changes in the rules of succession earlier this year.
