Is Kate Middleton Pregnant? These Major Clues Suggest Fourth Baby Is Unlikely

Kate Middleton is not pregnant, according to some netizens.

There are rumors that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are already expecting their fourth baby. The speculations excite most royal fans. However, not everyone is convinced with the report.

According to netizens on Quora, it’s unlikely that Middleton is expecting. One of the major clues they were citing is the lack of announcement from the palace.

“There has been no official announcement, which always happens when a member of the Royal Family becomes pregnant so, no she isn’t,” one royal follower wrote.

“No. I had heard that from a friend so I asked the question here, but then heard the palace had not announced anything, so she is NOT,” another online user added.

In addition, Middleton is very active with her royal duties. In fact, she is in Pakistan for an official royal tour with Prince William.

Middleton suffered extreme morning sickness in her three pregnancies which forced her to cancel some of her engagements shortly after announcing her previous pregnancies. If the duchess is really pregnant, she would not be able to carry out her royal duties.

According to Jade Welch, Middleton had been hospitalized in her three pregnancies due to hyperemesis gravidarum. Also, this condition gets worse in each pregnancy, so it would be worst for her fourth child.

“Each pregnancy HRH The Duchess Of Cambridge has had to take time off of Royal duties in the first few months until she’s being less sick. So I don’t think Catherine will ever be able to keep a pregnancy secret!! Each pregnancy she’s had to announce before the 12 week stage (most couples announce around the 12 week stage as that’s deemed more safer) so I cannot see her all of a sudden being able to hide one!”

Meanwhile, many believe that Middleton is pregnant due to her new hairstyle. Some royal fans noticed her new hair color when she dropped Prince George and Princess Charlotte on their first day of school. According to sources, Middleton changes her look before making a pregnancy announcement, so her new hairstyle was the biggest pregnancy clue.

In related news, Middleton faced an awkward encounter during her Pakistan tour. The duchess was so amused with a soldier that she forgot the royal protocol and extended her hand for a handshake. But the solider continued to salute, so the duchess awkwardly waited until the solider realized his mistake and responded to Middleton.
