The Palace announced earlier today that the royal seed had officially taken root in the Duchess of Cambridge’s womb — Kate Middleton is pregnant! The NY Daily News says:

The royal couple had to spill the beans that Kate was preggers after she became violently ill and Prince William accompanied her… to a London hospital.

There Kate was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness. Kate, 30, will be hospitalized for several days “and will require a period of rest thereafter,” the statement from St. James’s Palace read.

The pregnancy is in its “very early stages,” the palace said. British media is reporting that Kate is between six and 12 weeks along.

While this is very exciting news, no one from the Palace had a wingspan of twelve feet or a bedazzled face. Advantage: Heidi Klum.
