Kate Middleton leaves hospital

The Duchess of Cambridge has left hospital after several days of treatment for acute morning sickness.



According to the BBC News, Catherine, who was holding a bouquet of flowers, left King Edward VII hospital in central London this morning with her husband, Prince William.



Less than 12 weeks pregnant, she was admitted with acute morning sickness - hyperemesis gravidarum - on Monday.



St James's Palace said in a statement that she was now heading to Kensington Palace for a period of rest.



Her first child will be third in line to the throne, and will become monarch, whether a boy or a girl, after changes to the succession rules.



This week the Commonwealth governments agreed to press ahead with a bill ending discrimination against women in the succession to the British throne.



catherine smiled at the media, which have been assembled outside since her admission, when she emerged from the hospital.



She nodded when asked by reporters if she was feeling better.



BBC News said the duchess seemed tentative and less energetic than usual.



A public announcement of the duchess' pregnancy, before the usual three-month mark, was prompted by her medical condition.
