Prince William calls in the experts to help pregnant Catherine

A day after his wife was forced to pull out of ANOTHER royal engagement due to severe morning sickness, a devoted Prince William has called in the experts to lend a helping hand.

The 32-year-old future kind has apparently asked one of the UK’s best senior midwives to help the pregnant Duchess, who is currently suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum which can result in prolonged and severe nausea, vomiting, dehydration, weight loss and low blood pressure.

According to reports, the Duke has seeked help from Professor Lesley Page, who is president of the Royal College of Midwives and has over 30-years of experience.

“He actually said to me, ‘Would you like to come and help with us?” Lesley told reporters during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on Thursday.

To which the recent decorated recipient replied, “Yes, of course.”

The veteran midwife also spoke of how the dapper Prince had said “he was well looked after by midwives”.

Duchess Catherine has been laying low since the Palace announced in September that the royal couple are expecting their second child.

As with her first pregnancy, Catherine has spent the first few weeks of her pregnancy unwell which has meant that she’s had to miss out on some recent royal engagements, including the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games which was organised by her brother-in-law Prince Harry.

She also had to cancel her first solo trip to Malta, where she was due to represent the Queen. Luckily though, her devoted husband Prince William went in her place.

Meanwhile, betting on the increasing likelihood of Catherine and William welcoming twins has suddenly been suspended, and it’s sent the rumour mill into overdrive.
