LONDON – Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge left a London hospital Thursday after being treated for acute morning sickness related to her pregnancy.
Clutching a small bouquet of yellow roses, the former Kate Middleton smiled and posed briefly for a photograph alongside her husband, William, the Duke of Cambridge, before leaving King Edward VII Hospital.
The couples office said she would head to Kensington Palace in London for a period of rest. She had been in the hospital since Monday. Officials from St. Jamess Palace have said the duchess is not yet 12 weeks pregnant.
William visited his wife at the hospital every day, while media from around the world camped outside, seeking any news on the royal pregnancy.
Royal officials announced Monday that the Duchess was pregnant.
But the stay of one of the worlds most recognized women was complicated by a breach of her privacy.
Two Australian radio disc jockeys impersonating Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles placed a prank call to the hospital early Tuesday, and persuaded an unwitting nurse to tell them all about the Duchess condition.
