KEY POINTS

  • Kate Middleton sweetly cuddled with Prince William in Dublin, Ireland
  • The royal couple has upped their PDA ever since Megxit
  • Kate Middleton sparked rumors she's pregnant again 

Kate Middleton and Prince William engaged in a rare public display of affection during their trip to Dublin, Ireland. While there, the Duchess of Cambridge also sparked speculations that she could be pregnant with her fourth child.

During their trip to Howth Cliff, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were briefly spotted cuddling with each other. They also walked while holding each other’s arms during their romantic stroll.

Prince William also wrapped his arm around his wife’s shoulder, while Middleton held on to her husband’s waist. They were photographed from the back, which made them look even more loved-up.

It has been quite rare to see Prince William and Middleton engaging in PDA. But their affection towards each other in public seems to have improved ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit the royal family.

While speaking with The Sun, body language expert Judi James claimed that Prince William and Middleton seem to have relaxed their royal rules following Megxit. Prior to Prince Harry and Markle’s bombshell exit, James said that the Cambridges’ body language has veered on the side of bland. However, it is also pitch-perfect for their royal role.

“William and Kate do seem to be bringing more non-verbal signals and touches into their ‘routine’ post-Megxit though, apparently understanding that they can push the boundaries a little without suffering from obsessive interest and criticism. As a result, we’re seeing an increase of rituals that are showing the fun and the love but without compromising royal tradition,” she said.

Meanwhile, Middleton was photographed sipping a Guinness during her trip to an Irish pub. But eagle-eyed royal fans accused the future queen of faking her sip. The gesture has led them to think that Prince William’s wife is pregnant with their fourth child.

“I’d bet she didn't even take a mouthful. Each time a pregnancy has been announced it was a few weeks after a change in her hairstyle... just saying,” one royal fan said.
