Is Kate Middleton Pregnant? Latest Odds Of 2020 Baby No. 4 Announcement

It has allegedly been no secret that Kate Middleton wants to be a mom again and wants another baby with husband Prince William, and the odds of that happening seem to be increasing as a result amongst eager fans placing their bets.

According to a recent report by Express UK, betting agency Ladbrokes has changed the odds of Middleton having a fourth child in 2020 to 1/5, and there’s been a lot of confidence behind bets as a result.

“Punters are convinced Kate is soon to be pregnant, and we’ve slashed odds on a 2020 royal baby as a result,” Alex Apati of the agency told the publication.

The increase in bets and change in odds likely comes following a report from Us Weekly, where a source claimed the Duchess “would love to have one more child” with her husband of eight years, and that watching her current three children—Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 4 and Prince Louis, 1—interact and play has a large role in her desire.

“They love playing together and being creative,” the source said of the royal children. “Painting, baking and building things are all activities they enjoy, and now that Louis’ a bit older, he gets involved too.”

This isn’t the first time news of Middleton’s reported desire to expand her family had affected betting odds, as a comment from the beginning of the year where she commented to a well-wisher that she was feeling “broody” has sparked rampant speculation all year long. The rumors even continued to run rampant as and Prince William weathered an untrue scandal that claimed he had cheated on her during her last pregnancy with her friend, Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.

The couple managed to emerge from the scandal seemingly stronger than ever because it forced them to reevaluate their relationship and get back on track, but it’s still unclear whether they actually do want to have another child or are even trying. Considering Middleton’s past experience with hyperemesis gravidarum during her other pregnancies, they have not yet outwardly addressed the rumors.
