| HAPPY COUPLE: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge |
The Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge's baby
is due in July, St James's Palace announced today [Jan. 14].
Kate's
condition is also continuing to improve following her stay in hospital last
month for severe pregnancy-related sickness, a spokesman for the couple said. The
Duchess is believed to be around 13 to 14 weeks pregnant and confirmation of
the birth month means it is likely she has now had her 12-week scan.
“Their Royal
Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are
expecting a baby in July’’,
a St James's Palace spokesman said.
“The Duchess's
condition continues to improve since her stay in hospital last month”.

The
Duchess was less than eight weeks pregnant and staying with her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, at their £4.85million country mansion in
Berkshire when she fell ill at the beginning of December.
As
her condition worsened and she began to become severely dehydrated, the
decision was made to admit her to the King Edward VII Hospital in London for
treatment on December 3. Doctors diagnosed her with hyperemesis gravidarum, an
acute form of pregnancy-related sickness.
It
is likely that Kate’s pregnancy will be monitored by the Queen’s current
surgeon-gynaecologist, Alan Farthing,
the former fiancée of murdered television presenter Jill Dando.
