Prince William and Kate Middleton confirm the third royal baby is due in April
THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are "delighted" to be expecting their third child in April, Kensington Palace has said.
The date appears to confirm that Prince William and Kate conceived on their trip to Poland in July — where she was seen avoiding alcohol.
Kate had hinted she wanted more kids during the Royal visit to Warsaw with Wills, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Announcing the pregnancy last month, Kensington Palace said: “The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.”
And Clarence House said of grandparents Charles and Camilla: “They are delighted.”
Prince Harry said he was “very, very happy” at the prospect of becoming an uncle for the third time.
The announcement was made after Kate cancelled a planned visit to a children’s centre because she was suffering a crippling morning sickness known as hyperemesis gravidarum.
She had it during her previous pregnancies carrying Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
During the visit Kate had given the first inkling that another Royal baby might be on the cards — after she was handed a toy in Warsaw that was intended for newborns.
She laughed and said to William: “We will just have to have more babies.”
While on the trip Kate also avoided alcohol, in line with medical advice for women hoping to conceive.
On the first day, she barely touched a glass of wine at a reception in honour of the Queen.
The exact due date was not revealed.
The baby – their third after George, four, and Charlotte, two, will be fifth in line to the throne, pushing uncle Prince Harry into sixth place.
This week Kate, 35, made a rare public appearance and appeared to be on fine form, dancing with an actor in a Paddington Bear suit.
