Although Prince William is “happy beyond belief” to be expecting his first child with Kate Middleton, the RAF pilot is not happy about the media frenzy surrounding the news. An insider tells RadarOnline.com William has vowed to protect Kate from the media at any cost. His first step in controlling the frenzy was allegedly issuing warnings to British media outlets.
"He has vowed to do everything in his power to protect Kate from the media frenzy surrounding her pregnancy and Heaven help anyone who crosses the line. At William's behest the Queen instructed Palace bigwigs to individually call all of the chiefs at the British newspapers immediately following the pregnancy announcement and warn them, in no uncertain terms, that if any lines are crossed, any intrusive paparazzi shots are purchased and published, or if Kate feels hounded in anyway there will be hell to pay,” the insider says.
William’s “distrust” of the media is the result of the constant attention his mother, Princess Diana, received when she was alive, according to the source. "It all stems from his childhood -- watching the way his mother was built up and then torn down by the media and ultimately, he strongly believes to this day, hounded to her death by over-zealous paparazzi,” explains the source.
St. James Palace announced Kate’s pregnancy Monday after she was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness. “As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter,” the palace said in a statement.
No other details, including the baby’s due date, were released.
