'I'm looking forward to being a grandfather'
Prince Charles today said he was 'thrilled' at Kate's pregnancy, after the beaming Duchess of Cambridge left hospital following four days of treatment for acute morning sickness.
The Prince of Wales expressed his delight at the 'marvellous' news and added: 'It's a very nice thought to become a grandfather in my old age.
I'm very glad my daughter-in-law is getting better, thank goodness.'
The Prince also alluded to a prank call to the hospital by two Australian DJs on Tuesday morning that duped a nurse into revealing details about Kate's health, joking to reporters: 'How do you know I'm not a radio station?'
Kate was discharged from the King Edward VII Hospital in central London - where she smiled and told reporters she was 'feeling much better' - and headed to Kensington Palace to rest.

The 30-year-old emerged from the private hospital looking relaxed, carrying a bouquet of yellow flowers and giving a brief smile to the waiting press before being driven away with her husband Prince William.
Kate, who is less than 12 weeks pregnant, was wrapped up against the cold in a coat and scarf, and the royal couple will now spend time at their London home to allow for her to recuperate.
She was admitted on Monday after developing the condition of hyperemesis gravidarum, and was suffering from the effects of dehydration.
For medical staff to allow Kate to go home, her severe vomiting must be under control and they are likely to have given her anti-sickness medication.
