Pregnant Kate Middleton Cancels Appearance at The Hobbit's London Royal Premiere

Prince William's expectant wife plans to rest, although her royal husband will still attend event Wednesday

Sorry, Bilbo Baggins, the Royal Fetus isn't coming to your premiere.

Kate Middleton has canceled her planned appearance at The Hobbit's London premiere Wednesday, a palace rep tells E! News. The pregnant royal will continue to rest privately, but hubby Prince William still plans to attend.

On Dec. 3, the 30-year-old still-hospitalized duchess canceled her next week of public engagements, but at that point it was unclear whether she'd be feeling better by The Hobbit's U.K. premiere. The palace said in a statement that following Kate's release last Thursday, she would need to rest at home.

While we're sad we won't get to see Kate work some Middle-earth magic on the red carpet, we're glad she's able to rest at the palace. Feel better soon, Miss Catherine!
