Kate Middleton and Princess Eugenie are good friends

William and Kate’s three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis arrived in 2013, 2015 and 2018 respectively. While Eugenie appears to have been able to keep her pregnancy quiet well into her second trimester, Prince William and wife Kate were forced to announce all three of their pregnancies weeks early as the Duchess was suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (acute morning sickness).
