LITTLE ROCK — The Duchess of Cambridge left a London hospital Thursday after being treated for acute morning sickness related to her pregnancy. Clutching a small bouquet of yellow roses, the former Kate Middleton smiled and posed briefly for a photograph alongside her husband, Prince William, before leaving King Edward VII Hospital. The couple’s office said she would head to Kensington Palace in London for a period of rest. She had been in the hospital since Monday. Officials from St. James’s Palace have said the duchess is not yet 12 weeks pregnant with the couple’s first child. William visited his wife at the hospital every day, while media from around the world camped outside, seeking any news on the royal pregnancy.

Dave Brubeck has received a posthumous Grammy Award nomination in the best instrumental composition category for a symphonic piece inspired by Ansel Adams’ iconic black-and-white photographs. Brubeck and his son, Chris, were nominated Wednesday for Music of Ansel Adams: America, performed by the Temple University Symphony Orchestra. The announcement came hours after the legendary jazz pianist and composer died at age 91 in Norwalk,Conn. Brubeck received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996 but has never won a Grammy in a regular category. The list of nominees in 81 categories was unveiled Wednesday night during a televised concert in Nashville, Tenn., hosted by Taylor Swift and LL Cool J.
