This cartoon by Mac from The Daily Mail relates to news that the Duchess of Cambridge has returned home to Kensington Palace after spending three nights in hospital with an acute form of morning sickness.
Prince William brings his wife Kate a 'welcome home breakfast' consisting of champagne, porridge, bacon and eggs, and kippers, all served on a tray. However, Kate has already disappeared into the bathroom, undoubtedly feeling rather sick at the prospect of a 'full English breakfast'!
