Kate & Wills are having a baby.

'Every class in society save royalty, and especially British royalty, has through some of its members contributed something to the elevation of the race. But
neither in science, nor in art, nor in literature, nor in exploration, nor in mechanical invention, nor in humanising of laws, nor in any sphere of human activity has a representative of British royalty helped forward the moral, intellectual or material improvement of mankind. But that royal family has opposed every forward move, fought every reform, persecuted every patriot, and intrigued against every good cause. Slandering every friend of the people, it has befriended every oppressor. Eulogised today by misguided clerics, it has been notorious in history for the revolting nature of its crimes. Murder, treachery, adultery, incest, theft, perjury – every crime known to man has been committed by some one or other of the race of monarchs from whom King George is proud to trace his descent.' James Connolly.
 
Grumpy cats are out already

The fact Kate is really skinny (which is of course nothing to do with the pressure of being a famous female in the public eye) can't really be helping with regards to her hyperemsis gravidarum :(

Apparently the HG makes it more likely she will have a girl than a boy
 
Yeah. I think the announcement was kind of forced on them because of her being taken to hospital.
I'mpleased she's having a baby, because I'm pleased pretty much anyone is. And I'm sorry she's ill, as I am sorry if anyone is.

I'm off to file my nails, I have used up all my interest in this story
 
Pretty much.
Enough for some women to require bed-rest, and needing an IV drip because they can't tolerate any food or fluid.
Enough for some women to terminate their pregnancies because they were too ill to cope with their older children.

:( Unfortunately, yes.

Some women with HG are dangerously ill, and because it can continue for the entire pregnancy it can have a devastating effect on the whole family

Sadly that's bollocks. George III was a huge supporter of science and scientific research, he was famous for it at the time. Prince Albert was President and a very active supporter of the Royal Society of Arts too. There are many instances of royals putting up the financial backing for arts, science, literature and all sorts, not to mention the usefulness to a project of being seen to have royal backing.

Ah well, fuck 'em anyway.
 
Another Royal mouth for us plebs to feed. Congratulations ;)

Not sure if she's a high earner or whether the millions we give her are classed as a gift? Could be important when it comes to getting Child Benefit. :hmm:
