The Duchess Of Cambridge is pregnant!

London Paralympic Games - Day 1St James’s Palace have just announced that the Duchess Of Cambridge is indeed pregnant, ending months of speculation.

The Royal Family are said to be delighted.

The significance of this child is that one day, it will grow up to be our King or Queen, regardless of gender due to the change in the law for succession in 2011.

The new baby will push HRH Prince Henry of Wales (Prince Harry) down to fourth in the line of succession and push everyone below him down even further.

Catherine is said to currently be in hospital suffering with nausea (morning sickness), this was the only reason the Duke and Duchess decided to announce this now, rather than waiting a little longer.
