St James’s Palace said: ‘The Duchess of Cambridge is continuing to feel better. She and the duke are immensely grateful for the good wishes they have received.

‘She will remain in hospital at present and will continue to be treated for hyperemesis gravidarum.’

Prince William, who stayed by Kate's side for six hours yesterday, has been granted compassionate leave from his job to remain in London to be with his wife.

As yet Prince William has been Kate's only visitor, with her parents Carole and Michael Middleton, yet to make the trip up to London.

Kate, 30, is being well looked after with the Queen's personal surgeon-gynaecologist, Alan Farthing, and his predecessor taking care of her treatment.
