Last weekend was supposed to be a huge event for Kate Middleton. Queen Elizabeth had asked her to make a solo trip to Malta in her place. The ailing queen finally believes that Middleton is up to the task of appearing along at royal appearances and this would have been her first opportunity to do so. Unfortunately Middleton's severe morning sickness caused her to have to sit out the trip and her husband, Prince William went in her place. When asked how his wife was feeling William proclaimed her to be "so-so", meaning the duchess is still too sick to function normally.
This situation is quite familiar to Middleton who was briefly hospitalized while pregnant with Prince George nearly two years ago. Normally the royals would hold off on announcing a pregnancy until the 12-week mark but in both instances they have confirmed Middleton's baby news earlier because of her sickness. It's obvious that something is wrong and they wisely realized that if they didn't confirm her sickness being connected to a happy occasion then the media would go crazy with negative speculation about Middleton's health.
The timing for baby number two couldn't be better for the young family as Middleton and Prince William are in the process of relocating to their country home just a year after having their apartment at Kensington Palace completely renovated. Apparently the couple quickly realized that they are better off raising their children in peace away from the city and the meddling members of the royal family that like to weigh in on everything they do. Middleton has been very vocal in wanting to raise her kids in a way similar to her upbringing and that means solitude and open space to play.
