Is Kate Middleton Pregnant? Why This Comment Suggests Rumors Are True

Royal fans have been hopeful that Kate Middleton would announce a fourth pregnancy soon, and now, some experts say that there is a chance the rumors of another royal baby are actually founded in reality.

During an episode of the podcast “On Heir,” royal correspondents Emily Andrews and Omid Scobie revealed that Middleton’s comments during a visit to Northern Ireland in February about a young baby in the crowd making her “broody” were similar to ones she made in the past that indicate a fourth baby is on her mind.

In particular, her comment that Prince William might be “slightly worried” if she got pregnant a fourth time, had the commentators wondering if she was dropping a hint that she could be preparing to welcome a fourth child.

“I remember having a conversation with the Duchess a few months after Charlotte was born,” Scobie said. “She had just put Charlotte to sleep and said how lovely it was to have a baby around again.”

He then said he asked her if it made her want to have a third baby, to which she replied something similar to what she said during her recent visit.

“’Oh I would love to, but William would kill me if he hears me say that!’” Middleton reportedly said at the time.

“Then of course, lo and behold, we had Prince Louis some time later,” Scobie added. “I’m not ruling out number four.”

Andrews also commented on the matter, stating that she also thought a fourth baby was likely.

“I think she would like another baby. She clearly loves the small baby stage,” she said.

As for whether or not Middleton will announce a fourth pregnancy, betting odds have been in a frenzy and have been slashed significantly when it comes to whether or not the Duchess of Cambridge would announce a fourth pregnancy in 2019.

According to bookmakers Coral, odds are now at 4-1 that she will announce another pregnancy in 2019.

However, her St. Patrick’s Day visit to Ireland may have quelled bets she would welcome a child in 2019. Middleton was spotted drinking a pint of Guinness beer with Prince William during their visit, and alcohol is something pregnant women cannot indulge in. Considering the length of pregnancy, if Middleton was not already expecting at that point, and does not conceive within the next week or so, then the earliest she would be able to welcome a baby would be in January 2020.
