Kate Middleton Pregnant? Rumors Start After Duchess Pictured Covering Stomach, Image Of Her Receiving Flowers From 3-Year-Old Will Melt Your Heart
Further rumors speculating that the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is pregnant with her third child have emerged earlier this week. But they should be instantly dismissed as poppycock because all they were based on is where she placed her purse during recent royal engagements.
After Kate Middleton was photographed concealing her stomach with her clutch, OK! Magazine alleged that she’d done just that because she is actually pregnant with either a brother or sister for Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
The aforementioned publication uploaded a series of images that show Kate Middleton holding tightly onto her purse as she visited the Place2Be Headteacher conference, which took place on November 18 in London, England.
But it wasn’t just at this event where Kate Middleton was repeatedly pictured holding her purse close to her stomach. The day before, while attending an evening soiree in a Saloni blue dress, Middleton was seen doing the same with her clutch.
After amassing these images, OK! Magazine wrote, “Prince William’s wife also kept her black clutch against her stomach to possibly hide baby No. 3!”
However, rather than just being a one-off, anyone who has ever seen pictures of Kate Middleton holding a purse will have noticed that she regularly keeps it in close proximity to her belly. Which suggests that, rather than being a ploy to hide her burgeoning belly bump, is a position that Kate Middleton just casually reverts to without thinking.
Kate Middleton almost immediately quashed these rumors surrounding her potential pregnancy when she partook in an abseiling event at an activity center in north Wales.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the area to offer their support to young people tackling mental health issues. Images and videos of Kate Middleton partaking in some abseiling in conjunction with Mountain Rescue UK in Snowdonia were uploaded to Kensington Palace’s Twitter account.

During their antics in north Wales, Kate Middleton and Prince William sat down and chatted with youngsters who work in conjunction with Mind and from Coleg Menai, an organization that works alongside the mental health charity.
At one point, Kate Middleton sat down with 19-year-old James Cheffings, who hails from Bangor and had his leg in a cast, to discuss his injury. This encounter led Middleton to make a joke at Prince William’s expense.
Cheffings recalled, via the Daily Mail, “They were asking about how I ruined my knee cap. I was dancing in the pub and I dislocated my knee. Kate said it sounds like something William would do, so I was like, ‘Ah, something in common’.”
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton’s most adorable moment of the week occurred on Friday, when she attended a GISDA charity center in Caernarfon, Wales, and was handed a bunch of flowers by a 3-year-old boy. It really was just as sweet as it sounds.
The 3-year-old who decided to hand the heart-breaking gift to the Duchess of Cambridge was Theo Hayward.
And as you can see from above image, Kate Middleton immediately broke out into a huge and contagious smile when she saw it. After having a tour around the center, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made sure to spend a period time talking to the gathered throngs of people too.
