PRINCE William's pregnant wife Kate Middleton left King Edward VII hospital in London yesterday where she had spent four days being treated for acute morning sickness.
Accompanied by her husband, Middleton, 30, appeared at the steps of the hospital smiling and holding a bouquet of yellow flowers. Neither she nor William spoke to reporters before being driven way.
Middleton, who married the second-in-line to the throne in April 2011, has been suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, an acute morning sickness which causes severe nausea and vomiting and requires supplementary hydration and nutrients.
There has been no announcement about when the baby is due, although the prince's spokesman has said Middleton is less than 12 weeks pregnant.
Middleton, known formally as the Duchess of Cambridge, will now recuperate at Kensington Palace, a royal residence in west London, her husband's office said.
"She is feeling better but now requires a period of rest," a royal spokeswoman said. "Their royal highnesses would like to thank the staff at the hospital for the care and treatment the duchess has received," the spokeswoman added.
The onset of the severe sickness and the need for Middleton to go to hospital brought forward the announcement of her pregnancy, sparking a frenzy in the British media and even taking Queen Elizabeth by surprise, according to reports.
