As with her first pregnancy, Kate Middleton is suffering from extreme morning sickness as the result of a condition known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
Kate has canceled several public appearances as a result of her illness and only just recently returned to public life.
Kate Middleton made her first public appearance in over two months today. The Duchess helped welcome the president of Singapore to Buckingham Palace.
Her recent appearance at an event to honor the President of Singapore was taken by many royal watchers as a sign that Kate's health is on the upswing.
Now it seems, however, that Kate may have simply caved in to pressure from the Queen to cease her bellyaching and get back to work.
Life & Style reports this week that Queen Elizabeth II "bullied" Kate into resuming her royal duties:
"The Queen has been unimpressed at the amount of official business Kate has missed out on," a source tells the tabloid. "She feels enough is enough, duty comes first, and it was time for Kate to step up to the plate."
We're assuming that last part is paraphrased and the Queen of England doesn't actually speak in baseball metaphors.
Of course, this isn't the first time Kate has clashed with the Queen, but insiders say tensions been higher than ever recently.
Apparently, part of the problem is that at 88 years old, the Queen still attends hundreds of official functions every year, and she's never suffered health problems of the type that have taken Kate out of commission:
"Elizabeth's pregnancies were easy compared to Kate's so she doesn't understand how badly Kate's been feeling," the source says. "She will always put work first and believes Kate should do the same."
As for the hopes that Kate is on the mend? "She has been feeling absolutely horrific," says the insider, adding that Prince William has been begging Kate to get more bed rest.
