Speaking to OK! after the announcement, Catherine said they were excited to be welcoming another baby.
“We're absolutely elated,” she said, adding: “We feel so lucky. When we found out, I just burst into tears”.
This comes after Catherine opened up about her pregnancy journey, saying she feels as though she’s been pregnant for ages.
Taking to Instagram with a picture of her growing bump, Catherine said: “Apparently an African bush elephant is pregnant for 22 months!
“I fear that my body may have me confused with an elephant! It feels like I’ve been pregnant since 1942… Cherishing pjs, a bump and copious amounts of pineapple while I can!”
