Prince William comments on wife Kate Middleton’s pregnancy

Prince William has spoken out, following the news that his wife, Kate Middleton is expecting their third child.

Yesterday, Kensington Palace confirmed that the third royal baby is on the way after Kate was forced to cancel a public appearance at a children's centre in London. As with her previous two pregnancies, the Duchess is again suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness which is characterised by incessant nausea and vomiting. According to E! News, Prince William spoke at a Mental Health and Policing Conference in Oxford today where he was congratulated by the officers in attendance.

Commenting on the "very good news", his first thought was of his wife and he updated well-wishers on her health.

"We need Catherine to get over this first bit and then we can start celebrating. It's always a bit anxious to start with, but she's well".

In a nod to the fact that Kate has been ill in the early stages of her pregnancy, he continued:

"There's not much sleep going on at the moment".

Here's hoping the expectant mum feels better soon and in the meantime, people have already begun speculating about what the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge couple will name their third child.
