ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Prince William left a central London hospital on Monday where his wife Kate was being treated for acute morning sickness after it was announced the royal couple were expecting a baby.
Kate, who grew up in Bucklebury where her parents Mike and Carole still live, was in the King Edward VII Hospital in central London, according to a statement from the Prince's office. She is likely to remain there for several days.
The Duchess' condition required supplementary hydration and nutrients, according to the statement.
There was no detail about when the baby was due, with the statement stating the pregnancy was in its early stages.
William, Queen Elizabeth's grandson, is second in line to the British throne, and their first child will become the third in succession when he or she is born.
