and Duchess say they are ‘immensely grateful’ for good
wishes

treatment
Kate and William issue statement thanking public for all their support

doctors
Alan Farthing and Marcus Setchell are helping Kate through
pregnancy
Prince William visits wife in King Edward VII Hospital for second time
Royal couple 'reassured condition not dangerous for mother or baby'
Clarence House: 'Catherine needs rest and will stay in for several
days'
The Duchess of Cambridge is 'feeling better' after spending a second day in hospital
with acute morning sickness, St James's Palace said tonight.
Prince William smiled with relief as he left his pregnant wife in the care of two top
royal doctors and issued a statement saying Kate is 'continuing to feel better'.
Sources said the Duchess, 30, is responding well to treatment.
The couple also said they are 'immensely grateful for the good wishes they have
received' as the Duke left the King Edward VII hospital in clear good spirits after
spending hours at his wife's bedside.
A St. James's Palace spokesman said tonight: 'The Duchess of Cambridge is
continuing to feel better.
'She and the Duke are immensely grateful for the good wishes they have received.
'She will remain in hospital at present and will continue to be treated for Hyperemesis
Gravidarum.'
Kate, 30, who is less than 12 weeks pregnant, has been on a drip to restore lost
nutrients since being driven to the King Edward VII Hospital in central London by her
husband yesterday.
MailOnline sources today confirmed the Duchess is bearing up well - but her
symptoms of severe vomiting may last for much of her pregnancy.
She is likely to be taking anti-sickness tablets after developing the rare
illness hyperemesis gravidarum that affects one in 50 women.
Earlier today the Duke had arrived looking hunched and tense with his head bowed
as his wife spent a second day in hospital.
Clarence House told MailOnline that Kate is still expected to spend the next few days
in hospital, and requires a 'period of rest' to recover from the rare illness that has left
her weak and tired.
Today the two royal gynaecologists treating Kate were seen going to the hospital
where she is being cared for.
Consultant Alan Farthing, who was Jill Dando’s fiancé, is overseeing the birth and
Marcus Setchell, who spent two decades as the Queen’s surgeon, is also helping
Kate through her illness.

Kate's mother Carole Middleton is also planning to visit and smiled as she left the
family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, earlier today.
Mrs Middleton drove a black Range Rover away from the manor house, leaving at
around 5.20pm.
The duchess, who is less than 12 weeks pregnant, fell ill with hyperemesis
gravidarum, which makes it almost impossible to eat or drink, at her parents' home
this weekend.
The Duke and Duchess did not want to make the pregnancy announcement until
Christmas but were forced to make a statement because of Kate's hospital
admission. The Queen had not been told until yesterday.
Despite the concerns over Kate's health, her mother and father appeared relaxed
and happy today as they drove to and from the family’s £4.85million country
mansion.
Her father Michael, in a dark hunting jacket, smiled as he drove onto the family
estate in his dark Range Rover at around 10.20am.
Soon after at 10.40am, a smiling Carole Middleton, dressed in a brown jacket and
furry scarf, drove away in another dark Range Rover. She returned home at 4.15pm
but made no comment on either occasion.
Less than an hour later, at 11.30am, Prince William pulled up outside the private
hospital in central London in a green Land Rover and walked quickly inside to Kate's
bedside.
Mr and Mrs Middleton are said to be 'elated' at pregnancy - and Kate's sister Pippa,
who lives not far from the hospital in Fulham, south-west London, is due to visit soon.
A Clarence House spokesman said today: ‘The situation is the same as yesterday -
we said she would stay in for several days and that is still the case.
'It’s a period of rest that she needs, so she will stay in for several days.’
He would not comment on Kate’s condition this morning.
She is likely to be taking anti-sickness tablets and to have a drip in her arm so she
can receive fluids intravenously. But her symptoms of severe vomiting may last for
much of her pregnancy.
The pregnancy marked a day of intense joy for the nation, although the excitement
was tinged with anxiety.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had been hoping to keep the news they were
expecting a baby to themselves until Christmas Day.
But with Kate admitted to King Edward VII Hospital yesterday with the illness, they
had little choice but to make the announcement.
A royal source said the couple and their families are concerned about Kate's illness,
but have been 'reassured' it is not a dangerous condition for either the the Duchess
or her baby.
The couple delighted millions around the world – including their own families – with
the happy news.
However, doctors at the King Edward VII Hospital have taken the precautionary step
of keeping her in for the next few days.
It had been a nerve-racking day for Prince William. Last night, wearing a grey jumper
and blue shirt, he left the hospital in Marylebone but said nothing to the dozens of
camera crews and photographers outside.
He was then taken back to Kensington Palace by three royal protection officers in a
green Land Rover.

Birth
Daily Mail, 22nd July, 2013
The world awaits a future king: Early morning visit from the
Queen's doctor and the royal HAIRDRESSER as Kate
prepares to leave hospital.
Birth announced by a press release sent out from the palace at
8.30pm GMT but baby was born at 4.24pm
Official announcement then placed on easel outside Buckingham
Palace for the waiting crowds to see
Duchess of Cambridge and her son are both doing well and remained
with William in hospital overnight
The Queen’s Surgeon-Gynaecologist Marcus Setchell came to see
Kate this morning to assess her condition
Queen and Duke of Edinburgh said to be 'delighted' at news of their
great grandson's birth
The Prime Minister, Archbishop of Canterbury and Leader of the
Opposition all express their congratulations
David Cameron says 'the whole country will celebrate' the birth of the
new Royal baby
Future king was born at the same hospital in Paddington where
Princess Diana had Princes William and Harry
Prince William was by his wife's side at the Lindo Wing at St Mary's
Hospital in London
He will now take two weeks' paternity leave and accept the full
entitlement of £136.78 per week
The world is impatiently waiting for a first glimpse of the future king as the Duchess
of Cambridge prepares to leave hospital today.
An overjoyed Kate and her husband Prince William have started their first full day as
proud parents of a ‘beautiful’ baby boy, as Britain continues to celebrate the prince's
birth.
The couple’s son was delivered at 4.24pm yesterday in the private Lindo Wing of St
Mary’s Hospital in Paddington weighing a bouncing 8lbs 6oz and with his proud
father looking on.
Last night William slept there in a separate room to his wife and their little boy, and
there is speculation that the family will leave for Kensington Palace together this
afternoon.
The Queen’s Surgeon-Gynaecologist Marcus Setchell came to assess her at 8.30am
this morning and will decide if the Duchess and baby can be discharged.
It has also been reported that the royal hairdresser followed the doctor into St Mary's
via its rear entrance, raising hopes that Kate could leave within hours.
Their prince could also be named today, with the bookies' favourite currently being
James, followed by George and Henry, but he has already been given the title His
Royal Highness and will be known as Prince (Name) of Cambridge.
Last night great-grandmother the Queen said she was 'delighted' at the news while
an overwhelmed Prince Charles exclaimed he was 'overjoyed' and 'enormously
proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time'.
Prime Minister David Cameron said it was 'a historic moment in the life of our nation'
but 'above all, it's a wonderful moment for a warm and loving couple who have got a
brand new baby boy'. U.S. President Barack Obama led tributes from world leaders

and said that the new baby's birth was a 'joyous occasion'.
The young prince's first night in the world was an eventful one, because London was
hit with a number of violent thunderstorms after what had been the hottest day of the
year so far.
Meanwhile well-wishers partied late into the night outside Buckingham Palace, even
in the thunder, lightening and torrential rain.
The child is now third in the line of succession, displacing Prince Harry to fourth and
the Duke of York to fifth, although he may not become sovereign for half a century or
more.
Recent legislation allowing female heirs to automatically accede to the throne if they
are first born will clearly not affect the Cambridge’s son, but will have a bearing on
any of his children.
At 2pm today The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery will fire a 41 Gun Royal Salute
to celebrate the birth of the royal baby, and at the same time at the Tower of London,
the Honourable Artillery Company will fire 62 rounds.
News of the royal birth - which came after an 11 hour labour - was not made public
by Kensington Palace until 8.29pm last night, four hours after the baby was born.
Sources said the couple ‘just wanted to spend a little time together to bond as a
family’ and inform members of both families privately before the news was
disseminated to the world. William made those calls personally.
The Queen, who arrived back at Buckingham Palace just after 3pm yesterday,
declared herself ‘delighted’ - as did all.
Kate, 31, may be discharged as early as lunchtime after being assessed by doctors
this morning.
Surprisingly, no family visitors were expected last night - not even the Middleton
family - as the couple want to spend some time alone together, sources told the Mail.
In its official statement Kensington Palace said : ‘Her Royal Highness The Duchess
of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 4.24pm.
‘The baby weighs 8lbs 6oz.
‘The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth.
‘The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall,
Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted
with the news.
‘Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital
overnight.
Last night Charles, who cleverly pretended he had no news of the baby when
questioned by well-wishers in Yorkshire yesterday afternoon, said he was ‘thrilled’
and eagerly looking forward to seeing his first grand-child.
‘Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild. It is an
incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we are so thrilled for them
on the birth of their baby boy,’ he said.
The clearly overwhelmed prince added: ‘Grandparenthood is a unique moment in
anyone’s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am
enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly
looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future.’

Baptism
Daily Mail, October 24
th
2013
HRH Grumps - but by George, he's gorgeous! Not a tear, not a
peep from our future king as prince is christened at St
James's Palace
The world able to see Prince George in public for the first time in
three months as he arrived to be christened
Royal fans braved the wind and rain and slept on street in London to
be outside St James's Palace yesterday
George was baptised by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the historic
Chapel Royal yesterday afternoon
Guest list secret until yesterday morning and in break from tradition
most uncles, aunts and cousins not invited
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh celebrated with the Prince of
Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry
Kate's family also there along with Her Majesty and three future
monarchs - Charles, William and George
George was baptised using water from the River Jordan in a replica
of royal christening robe first made in 1841
Christening followed by tea at Clarence House served with slices of
Kate and William's wedding cake from 2011
He was on his best behaviour. With the eyes of the world on him, His Royal
Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge put on a perfect display of
royal etiquette.
In an historic ceremony which brought together four generations of the Royal Family,
the three-month-old future king was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury in
the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace yesterday.
Dressed in a handmade replica of Queen Victoria’s daughter’s christening robe,
George bore a striking resemblance to his father at a similar age.
According to aides, there wasn’t ‘even a peep’ out of the three-month-old future king as he was baptised
by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace.
According to aides, there wasn’t ‘even a peep’ out of the three-month-old future king as he was baptised
by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace.
‘He went in smiling, came out smiling and, as far as we are aware, smiled
throughout,’ said one.
William, however, could not resist confiding: ‘It’s the first time he’s been quiet all day.’
The Archbishop of Canterbury told the congregation in the Holbein-painted chapel
that George’s parents and godparents had a ‘simple task’ – to ‘make sure he knows
who this Jesus is’.
The simplicity of the half-hour ceremony contrasted with the historic grandeur of the
surroundings.
The heart of Mary I is buried beneath the choir-stalls and Elizabeth I prayed there for
the defence of the realm against the Spanish armada in 1588.
George’s life too, is already steeped in history. The Archbishop made the sign of the
cross on his head with water taken from the River Jordan, in a royal tradition that
dates back to the 12th century.
The water was poured into the silver Lily Baptismal Font which was commissioned by
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1840 and has been used at every royal
christening since.

His parents’ guest list for the christening – which left out senior members of the
family including Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne – was a surprise
to some. It did, however, result in the ‘intimacy’ the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
craved.
Indeed, there were just 23 guests present, giving the christening a feel of a family
gathering rather than the moment a future Supreme Governor was presented to his
Church.
For the Queen it was very much business as usual. She broke away from her
schedule for only an hour – and was last night busy hosting a charity reception at the
Palace.
Earlier, Kensington Palace unveiled the long awaited list of godparents. Among the
seven, there was no royalty, just a smattering of close friends, relatives and advisers.
They are Oliver Baker, Kate and William’s flatmate at St Andrew’s, interior decorator
Emilia Jardine-Paterson, William’s cousin Zara Tindall and his childhood friend
William van Cutsem, one of William’s most trusted confidantes.
At just 22, Hugh, Earl Grosvenor, was the youngest. He is the son of one of the
country’s richest men, the Duke of Westminster, whose wife, Natalia, is one of
William’s godmothers.
Adding some gravitas to the group is Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, one of William’s
longest serving, loyal and most trusted aides, who now works for the royal household
on a part-time basis.
And then there is the Hon Mrs Michael Samuel – Julia Samuel – a close friend and
confidante of William’s mother, Diana.
It was in the Chapel Royal that Diana’s body lay before her funeral in Westminster
Abbey in 1997. Kate also chose the chapel to be confirmed into the Church of
England before her marriage to Prince William in April 2011.
Shortly before 3pm yesterday, the family gathered at St James’s Palace to await the
Queen.
The guests filed in, including Carole and Pippa Middleton, Kate’s heavily bearded
brother James and William and Kate followed with baby George Alexander Louis.
The prince bounced his baby son up and down as Kate, radiant in a cream
Alexander McQueen ruffled outfit with a jaunty Jane Taylor hat, beamed proudly.
The Queen was the last to walk in, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh. She
wore a diamond, ruby and sapphire floral brooch that her own parents had given her
on the birth of Prince Charles in 1948.
Two hymns were chosen by the couple – Breathe on Me, Breath of God and be Thou
My Vision – while lessons were read by Pippa Middleton (St Luke ch 18, verses 15-
17) and Prince Harry (St John ch 15, verses 1-5).

First official photo
Daily Mail, 29thMarch 2014
Oh George, haven't you grown! In personalised jumper and
smiling delightedly at Lupo the cocker spaniel, a beautiful
Mother's Day portrait of Prince George and his two VERY
proud parents
Image was taken by award-winning photographer Jason Bell at a
window of Apartment 1A of Kensington Palace
The relaxed photo, which lets the public gaze in, depicts the eight-
month-old as a curious, affectionate toddler
Kate looks radiant in the sunshine of spring while William seems to
have replaced his boyish looks with a new heft
The last time George was officially pictured he was wearing the
historic Honiton lace gown worn by all Royal babies – at his
christening last October
It is a tender, natural and intimate portrait which shows, for the first time, something
of the personality of young Prince George.
Released on his first Mothering Sunday, this official portrait – in a relaxed style
perfectly reflecting the Duke and Duchess’s very modern approach to Royalty –
depicts the eight-month-old as a curious, affectionate toddler, gazing into the eyes of
the family’s beloved Lupo.
George seems devoted to the cocker spaniel and, judging by the adoration on Lupo’s
face, the sentiments are returned.
Meanwhile, his parents look naturally and happily into the camera’s lens. What
matters more, however, is that they are letting the public gaze in.
Never before has a Royal portrait beckoned to an audience with quite the same
promise of effortless informality.
In the shot, taken by award-winning photographer Jason Bell at a window of the
Cambridges’ home, Apartment 1A of Kensington Palace, Kate looks radiant in the
fresh sunshine of spring.
William appears more mature, his boyish looks replaced by a new heft, reflecting
perhaps both fatherhood and his growing stature in the Royal tableau.
The last time George was officially pictured, also by Bell, he was asleep in a bouffant of creamy ruffles –
the historic Honiton lace gown worn by all Royal babies – at his christening last October.
Here, he is a proper little boy with a fluff of brown hair, his mother’s dark eyebrows
and a very cool jumper which could make him a junior style icon.
Think back to Prince William at that age, clad in pastel romper suits and lace-
trimmed tops.
Back then, William was dressed as a Royal baby, a little Prince. George, as his cute
pale blue woolly clearly says, is just George.
Cool modernity with an undertow of nostalgia is the spirit of the picture. But it is its
unusual and rather daring technical details which make it the most defining image of
the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge since their wedding three years ago.
The washed-out tones seem designed to appeal simultaneously to two very different
generations. There’s probably not a family in the land which does not have a similarly
faded shot curling in the back of an old photograph album, a picture of Mum and Dad
back at the start of married life.
And there will not be a hipster twenty or thirty-something couple who haven’t

attempted to recreate that very shot for themselves using a carefully chosen filter on
Instagram.
But the message of the image itself is that the Cambridges are one happy, confident
family, keen to stay connected to the nation, while belonging more than anything to
each other.
