Duchess of Cambridge could miss taking Prince George to his first day at school because of her severe morning sickness
KATE Middleton may not be well enough to accompany Prince George on his first day of school - because of her crippling morning sickness.
The Duchess of Cambridge had been expected to drop her first child off at Thomas's Battersea, on Thursday.
But it is not clear if Kate, who is less than 12 weeks pregnant, will be well enough to join the school run with Prince William.
Kate was forced to pull out of two public engagements on Monday and Tuesday after suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, as she did in her previous pregnancies.
A day after Kate's third pregnancy was announced, William said: "There's not much sleep going on at the moment."
He added: "We need Catherine to get over this first bit and then we can start celebrating. It's always a bit anxious to start with, but she's well."
It is understood a decision over whether she will be present will be made in the morning.
The four-year-old and his parents are due to be greeted by Helen Haslem, head of lower school, as they arrive at the school gates - before he will be escorted to his reception classroom.
Along with his classmates, he will spend the day getting to know teachers, adults and other children as well as completing the important task of finding his classroom peg.
George's new school, where fees cost from £17,604 a year, has been described by the Good Schools Guide as: "A big, busy, slightly chaotic school for cosmopolitan parents who want their children to have the best English education money can buy.
The young prince and his classmates will be taught a range of subjects and activities from ballet and art to drama, French, music and physical education.
