    In a statement, Kensington Palace said: "The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news."

    The statement also said the duchess had to cancel planned engagements on Monday because – as with her previous pregnancies – she is suffering from severe morning sickness, or hyperemesis gravidarum.

    She is receiving treatment at home, the palace added.

    PM Theresa May has said it is "fantastic news".

    PM – This is fantastic news. Many congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

    No doubt Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2, are both delighted they'll be getting a younger sibling. 👶👑
