Isn't there enough stress on the economy at the moment without adding a royal celebration bank holiday for the third year in a row?

It is much too early, but as soon as she went to hospital the press swarmed and the couple don't really have much choice but to reveal it just to get them to lay off the intrusion and speculation.

No, it indicates that she needed treatment for morning sickness, and once she'd had that it become obvious the secret was going to get out, so they might as well announce anyway.

That's a bizarre line of thinking, it serves no purpose, I've not heard this 'common allegation'. They could have just announced it, in fact the queens speech on Christmas Day would have been ideal timing. The reason she went to hospital is that her morning sickness was so severe it could leads to dehydration, like any form of extreme sickness that prevents you keeping down fluids.

How do those support the claim that she was admitted to hospital because they wanted the news to get out? The Sun article says the couple wanted the exact opposite, like most couples would prefer.

I hear she has A disease with the pregnancy, one that has causes severe dehydration.
But also. Why does this matter? there is just one more human in the wworld. Really, I'm not sure why the Brits put up with this stuff. Doesnt it get annoying after awhile.

I find it interesting... Most of our leaders have kids who have kids by the time they reach office, and while the Queen has been ruling for a long time, it's kinda cool to see what is gonna happen with William's offspring. Hopefully Kate won't die in a car crash several years after the child's birth...

"Ohh, Someone famous is pregnant, this is totally worh obsessing over."
For a lot of the glossy mags and crappier papers, a famous person being pregnant is like Christmas. It gives them months of headlines and front pages that practically write themselves. Kerry Katona's latest food/drug binge can only fuel those things for a while.

If they really didn't they could of have a doctor go to their residence instead of publicly going to a hospital where they knew the media would flock,
