Is Kate Middleton Pregnant? ‘Subtle Clue’ Duchess Is Expecting Baby No. 4

Royal fans are constantly hoping for news that Kate Middleton might be pregnant and expecting baby number four, and now, as she and Prince William embark on their controversial tour of Pakistan, some royal watchers think that an interesting part of the couple’s trip may be a subtle sign that she is already pregnant and taking extra care as a result.

According to Express UK, for the first time ever, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have brought a royal doctor with them among their entourage, which has some wondering if there is a particular reason why, as usually only Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles are accompanied by doctors when they travel.

Nothing has been officially revealed by the Palace or the couple as to why a doctor is with them and the rest of their staffers who came on the trip to Pakistan, but considering the desire fans have been expressing for the couple to have at least one more child, some are taking it as a sign that they will be granting wishes.

The speculation comes as Bookmakers Ladbrokes cut the odds on Middleton having another child in 2020 down to 1/5.

“Plenty are convinced Kate is either already or soon to be pregnant, and we’ve slashed odds on a 2020 royal baby as a result,” spokesperson Alex Apati told the publication.

However, while the couple bringing a doctor on their travels may seem unusual, it is also worth noting that this particular tour has been touted as one of the “most complex” ones embarked on by members of the royal family, and the couple could just have a doctor along as an extra precaution.

It’s also worth noting that rumors have been flying for months that Middleton could be pregnant with a fourth child, as she’s allegedly been “broody” ever since her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, gave birth to her first child in May. In addition, the fact that Middleton has changed her hair up has also led to conflicting reports in regards to her pregnancy potential. While some felt that her debut of more blonde highlights was an attempt to distract from a potential baby belly, the emergence of even more color has also led to the suggestion that she isn’t actually with child, since women are discouraged from coloring their hair during early pregnancies.

Regardless of whether the Duchess is pregnant or not though, fans will need to continue waiting. If she does happen to be carrying a fourth child, there is a certain protocol she must follow when it comes to announcing the news, and Middleton’s fans are the last ones on the list when it comes to the order people can learn of a new baby.
