While Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton looked stunning in her red dress and tiara at Buckingham Palace in London Tuesday evening, it's not the only thing people were talking about. Rumors swirled she was pregnant after Life & Style claimed that she was expecting baby No. 3 with Prince William.
Duchess Kate and Prince William have their hands full at home with 2-year-old Prince George and his infant sister, Princess Charlotte, but some sources close to the royal family indicate that Kate may have the baby bug already.
These reports have been circulating for the past few weeks, with indications that some family members may be pushing the idea of another baby.
An official announcement from William and Kate is reportedly coming any day now, according to Life & Style.
The new issue of of the magazine hit newsstands on Wednesday with a cover line reading, “Kate’s Official Announcement: Baby No. 3!”
According to their new report the couple is pregnant with baby number three. “They’re expecting.”
The publication credits a "royals insider" with saying: ““It happened far quicker than they expected — they’d just started trying for another child. But William and Kate are so excited.”
The mag wrote a baby bump wouldn’t be visible in the near future. “They say Kate is at the very beginning of her pregnancy and won’t show any sign of a bump until next year,” the quoted source said. “Friends are saying the baby will arrive around June.”
The tipster even reportedly claimed that Middleton is having “funny food cravings.” She likes “very spicy curries and pizza with piles of chili flakes,” the source said, according to Hollywood Life. “When she was expecting George and Charlotte, she developed the same taste for hot foods.”
There is some major doubt to the idea that Kate Middleton would already be pregnant again. There have been plenty of past rumors about Duchess Kate expecting, and most of the time they ended up being wrong.
While another prince or princess of England would be exciting, it could be just a hoax. There is one major reason that Kate Middleton is not pregnant: She drank wine with Chinese President Xi Jingping. Footage from ABC’s "Good Morning America" shows the Duchess clinking glasses and then sipping the alcoholic beverage.
But given the attention it garners whenever a new royal baby is on the way, it’s likely that the reports about Kate Middleton possibly being pregnant are going to continue.
Buckingham Palace has not issued a statement about the baby rumor.
