Prince William and his wife Kate are expecting their third baby in April, Kensington Palace announced on Tuesday.

The couple — the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — were “delighted” to confirm the month their child is due to be born, a brief statement said.

Kensington Palace announced Kate’s pregnancy last month, after she was forced to cancel an engagement because of extreme morning sickness.

The duchess has continued to suffer from the condition, but made a surprise appearance at a royal engagement on Monday.

She is due to visit Norway and Sweden with William on an official visit early in 2018.
