Kate Middleton Pulls Out Of London Hobbit Premiere

Kate Middleton will not be attending the London premiere for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey this evening, because she is still feeling unwell.

The pregnant royal was admitted to hospital last week suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum - a severe form of morning sickness.

She was later released, but apparently got worse again on Sunday while recovering at Kensington Palace.

A spokesman for St James's Palace said yesterday: "The Duchess of Cambridge will not attend The Hobbit premiere tomorrow evening and will continue to rest privately."

Her husband Prince William still plans to attend the movie launch without her, according to the Daily Telegraph.

We told you yesterday how a Hobbit-related 'mockbuster' had been blocked in court.

Check out our review of the big movie - which goes on general release in the UK tomorrow.
