Duchess of Cambridge pregnant!

St James's Palace has announced that HRH the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby! Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as Britain and the Commonwealth Realms, blessed with the most fully human and beautiful method of selecting heads of state there is, await their future sovereign!  I hope HRH will recover soon from the acute morning sickness that caused her to be hospitalised and the pregnancy publicly confirmed sooner than would be customary.  But truly this joyous news is the perfect end to a jubilee year.
