Kate Middleton pregnancy rumors intensify; Leading betting company is ‘confident’ an announcement is happening soon

Like many female celebrities, Kate Middleton has become a regular subject of pregnancy rumors on tabloids all around the world. Her motherhood has also become a common betting item in various parts of the world, especially in the United Kingdom. However, there are several reports recently that just intensified the speculations that the Duchess of Cambridge is about to announce her fourth pregnancy very soon.

Kate Middleton pregnancy rumors: Duchess of Cambridge to make an announcement soon?

The betting company Ladbrokes recently confirmed it has suspended taking bets on the odds of Kate being pregnant. The reason behind this move is related to the most recent pregnancy rumors published about Prince William’s wife.

“We're so confident the happy couple will add a fourth baby to their family we've now pulled the plug on all bets,” a representative of Ladbrokes said via The Sun. The betting company went further by saying it believes Kate and Prince William will have their fourth child by 2020. That means an announcement could be happening anytime soon.

Ladbrokes is not alone in thinking that Kate could be in the early stages of pregnancy with her fourth baby. In September, fans of the British royal family gushed over how cute Prince George and Princess Charlotte were on their first day to school. They were accompanied by their parents, and eagle-eyed fans noticed something else.

Many fans pointed out online – even magazines and royal commentators also chimed in – that Kate was sporting a new hairstyle on her children’s first day back to school. Avid followers pointed out that Kate tends to debut a new hairdo shortly before announcing she is expecting a baby. This is reportedly one huge factor why betting pools were temporarily stopped.

Kate Middleton was heartbroken a day before her wedding

Kate is also making headlines recently for something that happened eight years ago. Journalist and royal expert Katie Nicholl said in an interview for the “Secrets of the Royal Dressmakers” documentary some interesting stories about the day before Kate, and Prince William got married.

The bride’s dress is one of the most talked-about subjects in a royal wedding, so it is not surprising that the press would work very hard to get insider scoop about it. A few months before Kate and Prince William tied the knot, it was leaked that Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen was the chosen designer. Nicholl revealed, “Behind the scenes, I think that caused tears at the Palace because Kate had done everything she could to keep the wedding dress a secret."
