Britain's Duchess of Cambridge and her husband, Prince William, have announced they are expecting a third child, according to a statement from Kensington Palace on Monday.
"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child," the statement read.
"The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news," it added.
The announcement was made as the duchess was forced to cancel an engagement on Monday because of extreme morning sickness, hyperemesis gravidarum.

The announcement comes in the same week as the couple’s eldest child, four-year-old Prince George is to start school at Thomas’s Battersea, south London. His sister, Princess Charlotte, is two.Â
