The pregnancy was announced last month, but the due date has only just been released. However, it had been wildly speculated that the baby would be due in April 2015, shortly before the couple's fourth wedding anniversary.
The Duke and Duchess' baby will be fourth in line to the throne, behind one-year-old Prince George.
A source has told the Daily Mail:
'Don't be fooled by the fact that she hasn't been admitted to hospital this time. She is just as poorly. The difference is that her doctors have been able to diagnose and treat her quicker. She really hasn't been at all well, though.'
The Duchess was hospitalised with hyperemesis gravidarum and severe dehydration during her first pregnancy with George, however during her second pregnancy she has stayed at Kensington Palace under medical supervision. It has also been suggested that doctors have treated her with a drip at home.
Caitlin Dean, of the charity Pregnancy Sickness Support, told the Daily Mail:
'Hyperemesis gravidarum is not morning sickness. It is a chronic and debilitating condition that can cause sufferers to vomit up to 30 times a day.'
I cannot wait for the little bundle to arrive next April!

Today, the Palace also announced that the Duchess of Cambridge will attend the Wildlife Photographer of The Year Awards Ceremony at the National History Museum. Two engagements in one day shows that the Duchess's condition is definitely improving.

I will be back tomorrow with a post on both engagements, the Duchess's outfits and details about what each engagement entailed...
