Kate, 32, whose son, Prince George is just a year old, is expecting her second baby with husband Prince William next year.
The Duchess is once again suffering from the debilitating condition hyperemesis gravidarum, which causes extreme sickness in pregnant women.
Sources have told Mail Online that the Duchess has not yet even reached her crucial 12-week stage and were once again forced to reveal details of the new baby because of her condition.
A senior royal source said: ‘The couple only found out very recently. The Duchess has not even reached the crucial 12-week stage.
'But when it became apparent that she was no well enough to join the Duke on a joint engagement in Oxford today and that the number of forthcoming engagements could be affected, the Duke and Duchess have taken the difficult decision to be fully open about the pregnancy.’
In a
statement the palace said: ‘Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is
expecting their second child.
‘Her Royal Highness will no
longer accompany The Duke of Cambridge on their planned engagement in Oxford
today. The Duchess is being treated by doctors at Kensington Palace. ‘
But the Duchess does plan to support her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, at the opening ceremony of his Invictus Games in London on Wednesday.
The following day she is due to attend a solemn Drumhead service at Lee Valley Athletics Centre with the Duke and Harry, and later with William to watch Invictus competitors taking part in matches and heats.
