Is Kate Middleton Pregnant? Rumors Are Flying That She And Prince William Are Expecting Baby No. 3

Is the royal family preparing for another baby? Hollywood Life reports that Kate Middleton is pregnant again and plans on making the surprising announcement over the holidays. How did the rest of family react to the exciting news?

Middleton is reportedly over three months into the pregnancy and the family couldn’t be more excited about the news. In fact, sources claim that Prince William is thrilled at the chances of having a boy.

“William, in particular, is over the moon,” an insider revealed. “He and Kate went through all of the necessary tests to make sure that the baby is healthy, and then, once they were sure, they got everyone together to let them know.”

The announcement allegedly went down at Queen Elizabeth’s luxurious estate in London. The entire family was on hand for the announcement, including Prince Charles, Camilla, Pippa Middleton, and the expecting mother’s parents Michael and Carole.

“Shortly after everyone arrived there was a loud cheer and the sound of champagne corks popping,” an insider claims. “The staff had to keep quiet and carry on working even as the whole place filled with jubilation.”

Even if the reports are true, the pregnancy does not come as a surprise for the couple. The royal duo has always been open about their desire for a big family. They even skipped out on the 2016 Rio Olympics because of all the reports about the Zika virus, which is particularly dangerous for pregnant women.

Thankfully, the pregnancy is going along a lot better than Middleton’s first two. Most importantly, she hasn’t suffered bouts of morning sickness, which is one reason why they haven’t made an official announcement. While fans wait to learn more about the new baby, Middleton is already making room for her son’s arrival.

“Now Kate knows she needs to have the nursery at Kensington Palace repainted,” the insider explained. “It was all earthy tones for George [3] and a pink motif for Charlotte [19 months]. So she’ll do it all over again.”

According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Kate Middleton has not been spotted in public in weeks. The last time Middleton took a step back from the public eye was during her pregnancy with Princess Charlotte in 2015.

Indeed, Inquisitr reports that Middleton could also be going through another bout of hyperemesis gravidarum (morning sickness). The illness led to a hospitalization in the past and could be one reason why she is stepping away from public engagements.

“Although every pregnancy is different, having hyperemesis gravidarum during one pregnancy may make a woman more likely to have it in subsequent pregnancies,” Dr. Jennifer Aston explained. “Sometimes subsequent pregnancies have it starting sooner, lasting longer and being more severe.”

Of course, the idea that Middleton is pregnant with a third baby is creating a fan frenzy around the world. The couple generated intense interest over their wedding and first two pregnancies, so there’s no telling how people will react to the latest developments.

Kensington Palace has not released any word about the pregnancy rumors. However, during Middleton’s last public appearance, fans noted that she was carrying a fuller figure than earlier in the year, sparking even more speculation about another child.

Until the royal family releases an official statement, the rumors surrounding Middleton’s pregnancy will only gain momentum. Hopefully, the palace will make an announcement in the coming weeks and confirm that another royal baby is on the way. Until then, all fans can do is wait.

Prince William married Middleton back in 2011 in a massive ceremony at Westminster Abbey. The couple shares two children together – Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
