Reports claim Kate Middleton is expecting twins

The upcoming royal babies are giving Queen Elizabeth hope, reports claim

The Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant for the fourth time and it seems that she's in for a bumpy ride. Rumours have it that Kate Middleton is expecting twins, although a source had earlier told New Idea that the royal couple was done in the baby-making department. “But the fertility gods obviously had other ideas! Now they’re praying Kate won’t be stricken with debilitating morning sickness that plagued her other pregnancies and even landed her in hospital,” the source added.

The Insider also claimed that the upcoming arrival of Prince William and Kate’s twins is exactly what Queen Elizabeth needs at the moment. It appears that her Majesty’s newest and upcoming great-grandchildren are giving her hope that the royal family can survive the latest disasters plaguing them. 

However, this isn’t the first time Kate has been rumored to be pregnant with twins. Last month, bookmakers Ladbrokes claimed that the odds for the Duchess of Cambridge to give birth next year are at 1/5. And the odds for Prince William’s wife to give birth to twins are at 4/1.

“Punters are seemingly confident Kate is going to give birth next year, and plenty reckon we'll soon be welcoming royal twins into the world,” Alex Apati, Ladbrokes spokesperson, told Express UK.

According to Ibtimes, weeks before Ladbrokes made their predictions, OK! Magazine claimed that Middleton is pregnant with twin girls. The tabloid went as far as saying that one of the girls will be named after Prince William’s late mother, Princess Diana.



“Kate recently found out that she’s having twins – two girls!” the source said. The mom of three was reportedly delighted and speechless when she found out that she’s pregnant again. Prince William is also excited about the arrival of his babies.

However, since none of these claims have been confirmed by Prince William, Kate and the palace, it would be best to take them with a grain of salt.
