William & Kate Baby #3! 
Star|April 03 2017

Prince William and Duchess Kate Have Some Royally Good News: the Couple Are Expecting Their Third Child.

William & Kate Baby #3! 

MAKE way for more royals! All eyes may have been glued to Prince William during his recent rowdy ski weekend, but it turns out Kate Middleton was happy for the distraction. The couple, along with their children, 3-year-old George and Charlotte, who turns 2 in May, had been sitting on a huge family secret for weeks, and while her husband was away, the mother of two was excitedly gearing up for their big reveal. The joyous announcement? She’s pregnant again! “It’s the most wonderful news,” shares a palace insider. “Kate is starting to show, and she’s absolutely glowing. And as for William — he’s simply ecstatic.”

A SLIPPERY SLOPE

After false pregnancy hopes toward the end of last year, Kate, 35, and William, 34, are on cloud nine right now. The gorgeous queen-in-waiting is estimated to be about three months along, so they decided it was time to let their inner circle in on the news — the only hitch in the plan being the reports of the prince’s partying during his vacation in Switzerland. “It was actually Kate who insisted he go on one last boys’ vacation before focusing on the new baby,” dishes the royal confidante. “It’s just a shame it looked like he was having too much fun and absconding from his duties. Who could have known he may have simply been celebrating his wife’s third pregnancy?”
