Wills and Kate and George Plus One

That's right, everyone, the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant with her second child. Kensington Palace said the Queen and members of both families were delighted with the news. The palace said that - as when she was pregnant with Prince George - the duchess was suffering from very acute morning sickness and was being treated by doctors at Kensington Palace. The baby will become fourth in line to the throne, moving poor Prince Harry further down the line of succession. But enough about that because Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei underwent prostate surgery this morning at a Tehran hospital. Khamenei’s website characterized the procedure as “successful” without giving the underlying cause. The official Islamic Republic News Agency described it as an “ordinary operation.” And the 75-year-old Khamenei himself took an upbeat tone in a pre-surgery television interview. “God willing, things will go well,” he said in the interview. “There’s no need to be worried but it doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t pray.” And it doesn't mean his prostate won't give out eventually.
