Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby due in July
announced today.
The 31-year-old Duchess is believed to be around 13 to 14 weeks pregnant and confirmation of the birth month means it is likely she has now had her 12-week scan.
‘Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in July,’ a St James's Palace spokesman said.
‘The Duchess's condition continues to improve since her stay in hospital last month.’
The announcement was made at 11am today by St James’s Palace, the traditional time of day for royal announcements.
The update is also further confirmation that Kate is expecting just one baby - after speculation that she might be carrying twins.

The Duchess was less than eight weeks pregnant and staying with her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, at their £4.85million country mansion in Berkshire when she fell ill at the beginning of December.
As her condition worsened and she began to become severely dehydrated, the decision was made to admit her to the King Edward VII Hospital in Marylebone, central London, for treatment on December 3.
Doctors diagnosed her with hyperemesis gravidarum, an acute form of pregnancy-related sickness.
NEW BABY ENTITLED TO BE 'PRINCESS' IF KATE AND WILLS HAVE DAUGHTER
Letters Patent: The Queen has already acted to ensure the new baby will be entitled to be a Princess
The Queen has already acted to ensure the new baby - a future King or Queen - will be entitled to be a Princess if William and Kate have a daughter.
Under past rules, a daughter would have been styled Lady instead and not known as Her Royal Highness - only a first-born boy born to the Cambridges would automatically have become a Prince.
The Queen has issued a Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm declaring: 'All the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales should have and enjoy the style, title and attribute of royal highness with the titular dignity of Prince or Princess prefixed to their Christian names or with such other titles of honour.'
A Letters Patent in 1917, issued by William's great great grandfather King George V, limited titles within the Royal Family.
It is believed Kate is up to 14 weeks pregnant. If this is true, the baby could have been conceived around the time of the week beginning October 8. So, what engagements did they have then?
