Kate Middleton and Prince William will have their fourth baby next year, according to betting odds.

The royal fans have been waiting for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s fourth baby announcement after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that they were expecting their first baby. The speculations about Middleton’s fourth pregnancy continues.

According to Ladbrokes, it’s highly likely that the Cambridges will have a new member in 2019. The odds of Prince William and Middleton having a fourth child soon have been slashed from 7/2 to 3/1.

"It's looking increasingly likely Wills and Kate will welcome another family member in the near future," Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Apati said.

Several weeks ago, Apati also commented on the rumors. According to him, the baby fever in the royal family is in full swing. So, he was not surprised to see the odds of Prince William and Middleton’s fourth baby.

Just last April, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their youngest child, Prince Louis. Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s sibling just turned eight months last Sunday.

Apati is not the only one who believes that Prince William and Middleton will have another baby. Bookies Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead shares the same opinion.

“Our odds show that there's every chance that Kate and Wills might add to their growing family, and a fourth baby is certainly a possibility,” Aitkenhead said in November after the odds of the couple’s fourth baby announcement slashed from 2-1 to 1-2.

Meanwhile, according to previous reports, Middleton herself is open to the possibility of adding a new baby to their brood. According to Ciaran McGrath, the Duchess of Cambridge has told friends that when it comes to the possibility of having more children it’s a case of “never say never.”

However, not everyone is convinced about Prince William and Middleton having another baby. An insider told People that she couldn’t imagine Middleton getting pregnant again after the ordeal she went through in her first three pregnancies.

The Duchess of Cambridge suffered severe morning sickness and she was forced to leave from her royal duties after her baby announcement because she was strictly ordered to stay in bed. She also missed escorting Prince George in his first day of school at Thomas’s Battersea in London.
