St James’ Palace says Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, is "continuing to feel better" after she was admitted to a private hospital in London yesterday suffering from acute morning sickness.
Her husband, Prince William, spent much of the day at her bedside.
The palace announced the couple’s pregnancy after Kate was admitted to hospital and says she is not yet at the 12-week mark.
The announcement of the impending birth of the third in line to the throne sparked a media frenzy and drew congratulations from world leaders.
St James’ Palace says the couple is “immensely grateful” for all the good wishes they have received.
