Britain's Duchess Catherine has become addicted to 'Homeland'.

The 31-year-old royal is currently expecting her first child with husband Prince William and has been relaxing by watching the hit hit US drama, which stars Damian Lewis and Claire Danes.

A source close to Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton prior to her April 2011 wedding - said: 'Kate's never been much of a telly person, but she's been absolutely gripped by 'Homeland' recently, as well as other boxsets.'

Catherine - who suffered from acute morning sickness at the start of her pregnancy - has also been relaxing by spending time with her and William's dog, Lupo.

The source added to LOOK magazine:'That little chap will have been amazing at lifting her spirits. Their walks are a great way for Kate to stay healthy, too.'

Although she is pregnant, the brunette beauty is determined to stay in shape and is carrying on with exercising.

The insider said: 'Obviously she won't be working out at the same level she was before. But she loves Pilates and I'm sure she'll be resuming that. It's the perfect pregnancy exercise, as it avoids high-impact movement, helps keep up your strength and is a great way to relax.

'It might be hard for her to accept, but Kate needs this time off.'
