The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced they're expecting their third child.

Kensington Palace made the announcement saying that the Queen and Royal Family are “delighted” with the news.

Officials said the Duchess of Cambridge was suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a form of severe morning sickness, and would not carry out her engagements on Monday.

The Duchess suffered from the sickness in her previous pregnancies and she is being cared for at Kensington Palace, the statement said.

Prince William and Kate Middleton already have two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who are aged four and two.

Their third child would be fifth in line to the British throne.
