— Clarence House (@ClarenceHouse) September 8, 2014As with her pregnancy with Prince George, the Duchess is suffering from acute morning sickness - hyperemesis gravidarum. She is being treated inside Kensington Palace this time, rather than a private hospital where press had previously waited outside for updates.
Kensington Palace said the Duchess's attendance at forthcoming events would be decided on a "case-by-case" basis.
Rumors that Kate was pregnant with royal baby #2 began buzzing in late December, prompted by a Star Magazine cover story declaring the royal was already three months pregnant and hoping for a girl.
If this go around is anything like her pregnancy with Prince George, we can expect an exorbitant amount of media coverage and of course, some amazing maternity style.
