It's not a rumor this time: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting. Buckingham Palace and Clarence House announced Kate Middleton's pregnancy, which is in its "very early stages," today, MSNBC reports. In addition to being Prince William's heir and third in line to the throne, the little one will be the first grandchild for both his family and the Middleton family. But it hasn't been an easy pregnancy so far: Kate was admitted to the hospital today with severe morning sickness, and will be there for several days. (More Kate Middleton stories.)
