It’s Official: Kate Middleton Expecting Baby #2!

It has been reported that Prince William and wife Kate Middleton are expecting baby number 2.

The news was released via Twitter, by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s official account. The tweet stated specifically;

“The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news that Their Royal Highnesses are expecting their second child.”

The news has also been confirmed with a Kensington Palace official, though a due date has not been released as the couple is still in the first trimester. This puts an end to rampant speculation that occurred all summer, with many false starts to the news of Kate’s second baby. It’s also been reported that Kate is again suffering from the same morning sickness that plagued her during her first pregnancy.

To add a little fun to the game, bookmakers are already taking bets on the name of the baby, as well as the date of birth and weight. Alexander is considered the most likely choice for the name.

The news of their second baby has come just 14 months after the birth of Prince George. The new royal baby will be forth in line to the throne.
