KEY POINTS

  • Kate Middleton is rumored to be pregnant
  • Kate Middleton is allegedly rushing to get pregnant
  • Kate Middleton's fourth pregnancy has yet to be announced 

Kate Middleton recently sparked rumors that she’s pregnant with her fourth child.

Following the release of the Cambridge family Christmas photo, some royal fans speculated on the possibility of Middleton being pregnant again. After all, the Duchess of Cambridge is not featured in the photograph.

“Am I the only one who thinks that #KateMiddleton is pregnant? That’s why she’s not in the photo,” Twitter user @noor009100 said.

“They’re making some sort of announcement over Christmas. I think you are right,” Twitter user @robbutler1984 said.

Some royal fans are convinced that Middleton is rushing to get pregnant to silence the ongoing rumors about Prince William’s infidelity.

“I’m convinced #KateMiddleton will get pregnant this year to hush the rumors of royal marital challenges and prove she and William are a #PigeonCouple,” Twitter user @bee_well_mn said.

“There’s no way Prince William is getting Kate Middleton pregnant. He’s wimpy, and he would have to work out,” Twitter user @GQSeanDrew said.

Earlier this month, bookmakers Betfair shared the latest odds for a royal pregnancy in 2020. They said that the Duchess of Cambridge is the least likely to get pregnant. Princess Eugenie and Meghan Markle may announce their pregnancies before the future Queen.

"While there has been plenty of speculation this year that Kate got very broody when Archie was born and that she was keen to add a fourth baby to her family, we make her 14/1 to be the next to announce she is expecting,” Betfair spokesperson Katie Baylis said.

Meanwhile, Twitter user @bee_well_mn talked about Middleton after seeing her at the recent royal family Christmas Day walkabout.

“This isn’t the look of a content woman. Some may not agree with this— she can put up a good front but I have a feeling she isn’t happy. And it’s not like those moments when Diana let her guard down and looked sad. #KateMiddleton looks bitter,” she tweeted.
