“The Duchess is being cared for at Kensington Palace.”

The couple already have two children, George, four, and Charlotte, two.

During a recent royal tour of Poland in July, Kate sparked pregnancy speculation when she was handed a toy for a newborn, designed to soothe babies.

While she said thank you for the gift, she turned to her husband and said: “We’ll just have to have more babies.”

It was always believed Kate and William would have three children, as Kate is one of three herself.

Betting begun on the royals having a third child when Charlotte was just nine weeks old!
