Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton and her husband, Prince William, are expecting another child two years after the birth of their second child, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.
The news broke after a press release on the official Twitter account of Kensington Palace, which also stated that the Duchess would cancel all her royal appointments in order to focus on the birth of the child.

The statement read:
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 Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.
As with her previous two pregnancies, The Duchess is suffering from Hyperemisis Gravidarum. Her Royal Highness will no longer carry out her planned engagement at the Hornsey Road Children’s Centre in London today. The Duchess is being cared for at Kensington Palace.
This sent social media into a frenzy as social media users were shocked by the news, especially as it would make it three babies in five years for the royal couple.
Wow. These two aren’t playing. 😅

And just how much would their newborn cost Brits?
Not as much as Brexit.
