After months of speculation and rumors and pointing out a “baby bump” that no one could really see, fans of the Duchess of Cambridge can relax: she’s officially preggers, according to a statement released by the Palace.

“Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby. The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news.”

Kate and Will have been busy of late, with Will on duty for the military and Kate fulfilling her many obligations. The couple has also been forced to battle some controversy since the summer, when Kate was photographed sunbathing topless at a private residence in France. The editor of the tabloid which published the photos has since resigned amid a wave of backlash.

Twitter has only just begun to blow up at the news, so expect to hear/read a lot more about it as the day goes on.
