So one of THE most anticipated celebrity pregnancies to date in modern times has been confirmed!

Duchess Kate Middleton has announced that she is indeed pregnant! 

The official announcement from St James’ Palace  read: 

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby, St James’s Palace announced today.” 

Their royal highnesses and families are “delighted” with the news, the announcement continued.

And  sadly, Middleton is suffering much from extreme morning sickness. She was admitted this afternoon to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with “Hyperemesis Gravidarum,” the statement read, explaining that it is “very acute morning sickness, which requires supplementary hydration and nutrients.”

The palace confirmed that “the pregnancy is in its very early stages” and her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter.

That’s tough. Maybe it will be twins! Extreme morning sickness is a sign of twins, you know?

Wow! This will definitely outdo Victoria Beckham‘s fourth and may be bigger than Beyonce‘s. In the UK, for certain this is much anticipated and the biggest pregnancy announcement for decades!
