The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first baby, it was announced on Monday.

St James's Palace confirmed the news and said the Duchess had been admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in central London with acute morning sickness and is expected to stay in hospital for several days.

The royal couple sparked baby rumours last week during a tour in Cambridge, after William accepted a romper suit from a well-wisher, telling her "I'll keep that."
