KEY POINTS

  • Kate Middleton is rumored to be pregnant with baby number four. 
  • Kate Middleton may have been dropping subtle pregnancy clues. 
  • Kensington Palace has not confirmed Kate Middleton's alleged fourth pregnancy. 

Kate Middleton may have dropped another pregnancy clue that not a lot of people noticed.

Earlier this month, the Duchess of Cambridge joined a group of children at the Elves’ Enchanted Forest. While there, they took part in an array of Christmas activities including making decorations and reindeer food.

A few photos of Prince William’s wife were shared online via Kensington Palace’s official Twitter account. The first three photos of the future queen only showed half of her body.

According to Express, this may be a way of trying to hide the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy. However, more photos that were uploaded online shortly after showed Middleton’s full body.

Her slender frame and flat stomach debunk the theory and suggest that she isn’t pregnant with baby number four just yet. However, this doesn’t mean that royal fans would have to wait very long for an announcement.

Just last week, bookmakers Ladbrokes claimed that Middleton will announce her fourth pregnancy sometime next year with the current odds of 2/1. Three other members of the royal family may also do the same in 2020 including Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Meghan Markle.

Meanwhile, there are also some speculations regarding the other subtle signs that Middleton has been dropping to hint at her fourth pregnancy. Earlier this month, the Duchess of Cambridge didn’t attend Prince William’s overseas tour of Oman and Kuwait.

Rumors swirled that this is because of the ongoing Malaria risk in Oman, which pregnant women should avoid.

And when she attended the Royal Variety Performance last month, rumors also swirled that Middleton could be pregnant. After all, she also attended the same event while she was pregnant with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in 2014 and 2017, respectively.

But until the announcement and updates come from Kensington Palace, all of the rumors regarding Middleton’s alleged pregnancy should be taken with a grain of salt.
