KATE MIDDLETON WAS this morning discharged from hospital in central London after suffering from a severe form of morning sickness.

Her husband, Prince William was by her side as they smiled for waiting press.

The royal couple are expecting their first child sometime next summer.

After three nights under observation in hospital she will now head to Kensington Palace for a period of rest.

The furore over the hoax call that fooled a nurse into revealing details about her health by two Australian DJs continues today.
