The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their third child in April. | |
Kensington Palace said the couple were “delighted” to confirm the month their baby was due to be born. | |
The child will be born fifth in line to the throne, pushing uncle Prince Harry into sixth place. | |
The duchess has been suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness, but made a surprise appearance at a royal engagement on Monday when she danced with Paddington Bear at Paddington Station for a charity event, watched by William and Harry. | |
She is also due to make an official visit Norway and Sweden with her husband early in 2018. | |
Soon after the news of the pregnancy was revealed in September, the duke said “not much sleep” was being had at the main family home of Kensington Palace as she fought her morning sickness. | |
“We need Catherine to get over this first bit and then we can start celebrating,” he said at the time. “It’s always a bit anxious to start with, but she’s well.” | |
The official visit to Norway and Sweden was originally scheduled for next month, but has been delayed because of the duchess’s sickness. |
