  • Kate Middleton is rumored to be pregnant with her fourth child
  • The Duchess of Cambridge sparked rumors that she was sporting a growing baby bump
  • Kate Middleton could drop secret clues about her fourth pregnancy

Kate Middleton just sparked speculations that she could be pregnant with baby number four.

Last week, the Duchess of Cambridge attended a royal engagement, where she was photographed wearing an all-green ensemble. Even though Prince William’s wife seemed to have maintained a slender figure, some eagle-eyed netizens were convinced that she was sporting a growing baby bump.

Prince William and Middleton’s supporters are convinced that it’s only a matter of time before the Duchess of Cambridge’s fourth pregnancy announcement will be made. After all, the royal couple is predicted to follow in Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth’s footsteps of having four children.

Meanwhile, body language expert Judi James also told Express that Prince William’s wife has been dropping secret signals that suggest she could be pregnant with her fourth child.

James said that one of the ways to determine if Middleton is expecting is not by looking at how often she touches her stomach. After all, the gesture of touching one’s stomach could be a sign of awareness.

“With Kate, the problem is she does it all the time anyway, that’s how she stands, and I think that’s why there’ll always be some speculation that she might be pregnant and she is the hardest person to spot. Her body language even when she’s got a bump there doesn’t really change, she will often leave her coat hanging open she won't use the rubbing gestures that Meghan was so famous for. For a lot of royal women traditionally, it is business as usual,” she said.

James said that the best way to know if Middleton is pregnant is if she suddenly vanishes off the royal circular because of her extreme morning sickness. During her first three pregnancies, Middleton became visibly absent from her royal duties because she had to recover from hyperemesis gravidarum at home.

“With the thought of the morning sickness in the early days, she has a degree of weariness because that’s not what you want to be doing as a royal. So, I think that type of inhibited body language is what you might see. I think through this pregnancy, if there is one, I think she’s enjoyed Louis so much he’ll glide through this one,” she said.
