Duchess Catherine - née Kate Middleton - who also has a 14-month-old son, Prince George, with the third in line to the throne - has been suffering from severe morning sickness in recent weeks and is "hugely disappointed" to have dropped out of a number of royal commitments.

Kate, 32 - who also suffered from the condition known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum during her first pregnancy - recently sent a heartfelt note to a local primary school in West London, to personally apologise for missing the opening of their new art room and promised to visit the children soon.

She wrote: "I wanted to share my congratulations with you all for the launch of the new Clore Art Room. I was looking forward to joining you all for this particularly special day as part of The Clore Duffield Foundation's 50th Anniversary year.

"I am truly sorry that I cannot be with you all today as you celebrate this milestone. As Patron of The Art Room I feel great pride to see the work that the charity is doing...

"My sincere apologies for not being able to join you but I hope that I will have an opportunity to visit Barlby and see the Clore Art Room soon."
