Photos: Kate Middleton & Prince William today announce when their 3rd baby is due

Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth to her third child in April, Kensington Palace has confirmed.

In a statement released today via their Twitter page, the Palace revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are 'delighted' to be expecting their third child in April 2018.

Kensington Palace was forced to announce Kate’s third pregnancy on September 4 because – as when she was expecting Prince George and Princess Charlotte – Kate, who is now three months along, was suffering with severe morning sickness. 

In a short statement, the royals' office Kensington Palace said the baby, who will be fifth-in-line to the British throne, was due in April - but the exact date of the baby's expected arrival was not disclosed.
