The Queen and members of both the Duke and Duchess's families are "delighted" with the news, Kensington Palace said.
David Cameron was among the first to congratulate the couple, saying: "Many congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. I'm delighted by the happy news that they're expecting another baby."
The Duchess is due to carry out her first solo foreign tour later this month, with a two-day visit to Malta, which may now be in doubt because of her sickness.
Rumours that a second royal baby might not be too far off surfaced during the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's overseas tour to New Zealand and Australia.
When the Duke was presented with a lace shawl for Prince George in Wellington in April, he told its creator Cynthia Read "You might have to make another one soon", prompting the suggestion that a little brother or sister for George was on the cards.
Mrs Read revealed: "The way William said it was like he was dropping a hint, letting me in on a secret."
The couple may be hoping the addition to their family is a girl, as the Duchess disclosed before Prince George was born that she was hoping for a son and the Duke wanted a daughter.
