LONDON – Fans of the Royal Family across the Commonwealth rejoiced this afternoon as Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, announced she was once again pregnant, just hours after the birth of her second child.
“Yes, it’s true,” said Middleton, who was admitted to St. Mary’s Hospital, London for acute morning sickness just hours after giving birth at St. Mary’s Hospital, London. “William is, uh, a very loving husband.”
The child, who will be fifth in line for the Royal throne, is expected to be born in late January of next year, around the same time as his younger sister is due to be conceived.
“She already has that rosy-cheeked glow,” said one friend of the proud yet again mother-to-be. “Or else she’s still flushed with the effort of forcing out a baby. Maybe it’s a bit of both.”
In celebration of the announcement, the Royal Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, and Royal Australian Mint have all released commemorative coins featuring an engorged Prince William shoving aside a terrified medical attendant in order to get at his wife, while a stork chain smokes cigarettes in the background.
