Meghan Markle's New Hairstyle Sparks Pregnancy Rumors Due To Kate Middleton's Similarities

Meghan Markle's new hairstyle has sparked pregnancy rumors.

On Monday, the Duchess of Sussex stepped out in a new hairstyle. Unlike her previous engagements, Markle didn't tie her locks in a bun or styled it with curls. She just let it flow down in fresh layers.

According to Nicholas Bieber, a journalist for Daily Star, Kate Middleton also dropped the "exact same hint weeks before all three of her pregnancy announcements." The Duchess of Cambridge sported new hairstyles before she confirmed that she was expecting.

Emma Baty of Cosmopolitan magazine noted that Middleton sported "totally normal hair" two months before she announced her second pregnancy. However, a month before the announcement, she was found "embracing her roots" more than ever.

Also, a month prior to announcing her first pregnancy, Middleton wore her brown curls "as per usual." However, the fortnight before her announcement she switched to "bangs."

"Because I am a journalist and I care about these things, I combed through 60+ pages of the latest pictures of Meghan and found she hasn't worn her hair like this since at least before her wedding to Prince Harry," Baty wrote. "Technically this is all just a fun internet theory and no one from the palace has confirmed this in regards to Kate or Meghan. It's possible it's a totally coincidental trend."

In the past weeks, rumors are rife that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first child already. There were photos of Markle where her breasts and stomach appeared to be bigger than usual. However, it turned out that it was just due to a gust of wind.

The pregnancy rumors intensified with the reports claiming that Markle's mom, Doria Ragland, is taking granny lessons. Markle reportedly wanted her mother to be around by the time she's pregnant instead of hiring new staff.

However, the odds of Prince Harry and Markle making pregnancy announcement this year slashed. Many believe that the couple will have to delay their pregnancy as they are bound to visit Fiji and Tonga, which are Zika-infected countries. Zika is not safe for pregnant women as it can cause birth defects. In fact, women who visit countries plagued with this highly infectious virus are advised to wait "at least six months" before trying to conceive.
