LONDON — Prince George is not going to be an only child for long — the toddler will soon have a baby sister or brother to share his fancy digs at Kensington Palace.

British royal officials said Monday that Prince William and the duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, are expecting their second child.

For the second time, Kate is being treated for acute morning sickness in the early phases of her pregnancy.

The first time she was so ill she required hospitalization. This time, she is being treated by doctors at her residence in Kensington Palace.

The new baby, boy or girl, will become fourth in line to the throne, pushing Prince Harry to fifth. George, who is 13 months old, is third. William is second in line, while his father, Prince Charles, is first.

Britain had changed its laws before George’s birth so that the couple’s first born would be in line for the throne regardless of its sex. Before the change, a girl would have lost her place in line if a boy was born later.

BURNET -- According to the Austin American Statesman, two former McNeil High School students were killed in a deadly accident in Burnet County Friday.

The brother and sister, Ryan and Kylie, both 20-years-old were enrolled at Texas Tech University.

Trooper Robbie Barrera says Kylie Murphy, who would have turned 21 next month, was driving during Friday night's wreck near Oakalla.

The siblings were driving back to Austin from Lubbock when they collided with another vehicle. Barrera says the car was southbound on U.S. 183 when the wheels left the road, Kylie Murphy overcorrected and the vehicle skidded into the path of an oncoming pickup truck. DPS says the truck driver suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

"It's been an unbelievable start to the year," Texas Tech spokesman Chris Cook said. "A somber start to the year."

At McNeil High School, Ryan played on the football team and Kylie performed on the school's drill team.

The University has made counseling services available to any student in need.
