Royal Pregnancy Speculation

[Deleted]

Kate is only drinking water.....

If I were Kate I would start to totally fvck with the media. Randomly drink water, wear tight clothing when bloated, etc.

[eclaires]

I want her to be pregnant so badly, lol.

[Deleted]

Me too... and it is much more fun to speculate about whether the baby would be beautiful like kate or look imbred like William than to think the world is falling to pieces.

[eclaires]

Exactly! Plus, it's fun to watch how the Royals do things. It takes my mind off my rather mundane, suburban existence.

My 15 y.o. self is getting huffy about you calling his looks "imbred" lol. I had a huge crush on him in high school.

I could not imagine the world caring so much about the contents of my ute. Talk about overwhelming.

All of this. That's because he was hot back then. I'll be sad for Harry when he loses it again too.

I just cannot imagine the pressure of being Kate.

He was way more smoking hot at 16. I lurved him. Not gonna lie, I would still boing him any day. But Harry is now way hotter.

How much would you love a little baby girl princess??!?!? I melt just thinking about it.

How long as has it been since a princess has been born to the Royals? The Queen doesn't count since she was older when her dad became king, right?

[charminglife]

Ugh, I would not want the media all over me wondering if I was pregnant every time I ate too much. I hope the pressure isn't getting to her.

Well Eugenie and Beatrice are in their 20s, so not significantly long.


I want her to be pregnant but man do I feel bad for her sometimes. Not too bad, because, you know, diamonds and couture and fabulous shoes and exotic travel and that HAIR. But I would hate to be the focus of so much attention.

I would TOTALLY eff with the press!

And let's hope the child doesn't come out looking anything like Eugenie or Beatrice. Dear lord.

[GailGoldie]

The media would totally tell the world I was pg if they got pics on my bloated guy today. I can't imagine livin that life!!

Harry will be hot even if he loses his hair as long as he keeps that body... Naked pics yum!

You know, I was thinking something along the lines of "who really cares?" but you have a very good point here about everything else being too depressing.

The queen was young when her dad was crowned. There are cute photos of her and her sister wearing little crowns at the coronation.




The queen had Princess Anne before she became the queen (age 25). The next princesses were Beatrice and Eugenie. And Louise, I guess, although her parents opted to call her Lady rather than Princess to take some of the pressure off her.

Has Kate ever been seen drinking in public? I know there have been other times where she's opted for water over alcohol, so I wonder if she does it because of the pregnancy rumors ... like, if she always accepted a glass of wine and then suddenly didn't, the pregnancy rumors would be much more founded. But if she always asks for water then they don't have much to go on.

[marie427]

MBC - that's what I'm wondering too. If she regularly drinks water or something non-alcoholic in public, I don't see why this time is any more convincing than other times.

OP, is there a link for the speculation?

The cover of the Star at the grocery store last night said "It's Official! Kate is pregnant!"

I immediately checked Suri's Burn Book for confirmation. Nothing yet.

This comes out every time she refuses alcohol in public, so they just recycle the same ol' story.

There was also something last year about how she and William inspected care boxes going to a third-world country, and how William tasted a packet of high-protein peanut paste and she turned it down. Pregnancy rumors were flying because, apparently, pregnant women aren't supposed to consume peanuts out of fear of giving the fetus an allergy or something (which was the first time I'd ever heard something like that). (ETA for link: www.digitalspy.com/celebrity/news/a349364/kate-middleton-sparks-pregnancy-rumors-with-peanut-snub.html)

I'm interested to see if she'll wear a tiara to any of the state dinners. The history behind the tiaras is really cool, especially when they would switch between countries after foreign princes and princesses married each other. All the European royal families are related through each other through Queen Victoria and King Christian IX of Denmark, and the family connections between all of them are really interesting to me.

As far as I know, as an avid Kate watcher, she has only been seen drinking champagne in public a handful of times (the event she covered for Prince Charles last year, I think at one of the events for the Olympics, etc.) so drinking in water in public doesn't really mean anything in my opinion, especially in Singapore.

[ringstrue]

Beatrice and Eugenie don't count!

[Deleted]

She's so thin I'm sure she didn't want any extra calories at a 7 course dinner. William said he'd love to make an announcement around New Year's so my antennae won't be up until then.

[ringstrue]

She is so small, I'm guessing about 4oz of even caffeinated tea gives her quite a lift. I'm not saying that to make fun I'm saying that as a person who spent a few year at a buck o' five myself.

I saw that cover- I think it may have been the National Inquirer

eta: nope, it was Star. . . just as accurate

[mrshandy]

Hey, the timing is right. Didn't they hint about TTC a year or so after getting married? I wouldn't be surprised if she is.

And yes I agree this is a nice diversion from other sad news.

[mbcdefg]

Plus I'm sure she's very careful about the calories she consumes, so she might not want to waste her daily allotment on alcohol.

Because they're not the children of a soverign or the direct heir? In that case, going backward it was Princess Anne, then QE2 and her sister Princess Margaret, and then their aunt Princess Mary.

Side note - Princess Margaret was freaking gorgeous (here she's wearing the same tiara Kate wore at the wedding):

Let her be a girl child. And then Britain can come to the right of female primogeniture like, er, Sweden just did?

This, oh, this.

My bet is that they want to wait until the Jubilee events, including this trip, were over before they start TTC. I wouldn't want to be in my first trimester and hanging around on boats or trapsing through Singapore.

William told someone in the crowds during this trip that he wants two children. I agree that it's nice to hear fun, happy stories like this once in a while.

If you like these royal-related news stories, @britishroyals is a pretty good Twitter feed to follow. If you like the fashion and jewelry aspect, "Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor," "Cambridge Chic," and "Mad Hattery" are fun blogs.

(I like this topic, in case you can't tell ;D)

It's been stated a few times that neither of them are big drinkers, so her drinking water doesn't really mean anything to me!

I never noticed how much King George looks like Tim Curry

here they are drinking a toast to the queen at a reception today, although it doesn't specify what's in the glasses:

OMG, I want this so much. But if they steal my baby name, I won't be pleased.

Are you sharing it here or keeping it secret?

I'm betting they'll go with Victoria for a girl, and then Philip or maybe George for a boy.
