Although she and William had not wanted to make their happy news public at such an early stage, the couple felt they had no choice as her absence from public duties was likely to spark a flurry of speculation on social media and online.
Kate remained in hospital for three nights - leaving on December 6 - and cancelled all her forthcoming engagements, except for a surprise appearance at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards in London, shortly before Christmas.

A spokesman also confirmed that, contrary to speculation, it was not a multiple pregnancy.
