By William Booth September 4 at 8:12 AM
LONDON While the world woke with a case of the heebie-jeebies over North Korea and its possible H-bomb, the planet was quickly and pleasantly calmed by the news from Kensington Palace that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge William and Kate are expecting their third child.
The portents of such good royal baby tidings were instantly trending upon the social media and splashed globally. The BBC broke into its morning show to announce the news.
Mondays palace announcement, perhaps indecorously, but in keeping with the more open style of todays skinny-jeans royals, noted that the duchess, as with her previous two pregnancies, is suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, or severe morning sickness.
And so, the announcement continued, Kate would not be able to carry out her planned engagement at the Hornsey Road Childrens Centre in London on Monday.
