Kate Middleton, Prince William Baby Due Date Announced
Kensington Palace released a statement this week confirming that the Duchess of Cambridge's due date is set for next April.
The palace also confirmed the health of the royal, saying that her condition is "steadily improving," although she reportedly continues to suffer from acute morning sickness.
"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in April 2015," Kensington Palace said in a statement posted online.
"The Duchess of Cambridge continues to be affected by Hyperemisis Gravidarum, but her condition is steadily improving," the statement added.
Middleton was forced to cancel several royal engagements in September due to her ongoing sickness, and she is reportedly continuing to seek treatment at Kensington Palace by doctors.
Kensington Palace previously announced the royals' second pregnancy earlier this fall. Middleton reportedly suffered acute morning sickness with her first son, George, who turned age one back in July.
"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their second child," the palace said in a statement in September. "The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news."
Prince Harry, brother to Prince William, has also publicly offered his congratulations on his relatives' new pregnancy. "I can't wait to see my brother suffer more and, with any luck, if it's a girl he'll suffer even greater," Harry previously told BBC. "I'd love to see him try and cope with that."
