Prince William spoke openly yesterday of his concern for his poorly wife – just hours after royal officials were forced to announce that the couple are expecting their second child in the spring.
The Duchess of Cambridge is today being cared for by doctors at the couple’s Kensington Palace apartment after suffering from a debilitating bout of hyperemesis gravidarum.
It is the same extreme sickness that blighted the early weeks of her pregnancy with Prince George, now 13 months old.
After an engagement at Oxford University, William said: ‘‘She’s feeling okay. It’s been a tricky few days – [well] week or so – but obviously we are basically thrilled. It’s great news [but] early days. We’re hoping things settle down and she feels a bit better.’
He added: ‘I’m going to go and look after her now.’
Kate (32) was last pictured in public little more than a week ago, arriving at King’s Cross Station with William and their dog Lupo after a break in Norfolk. The duchess, by then in the early stages of pregnancy, was laden down with bags.
She is now little more than six to eight weeks into her second pregnancy – well below the 12-week ‘‘safe’’ point at which mothers-to-be traditionally announce that they are expecting. The new baby is due in the spring, around April.
Only a handful of the couple’s closest family and aides – including the Queen and the Middletons – had been told of the news, and only then because her sickness came on again so quickly. — Dailymail.
