Rumors that royal sisters-in-law Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are pregnant at the same time have been buzzing since the summer. Royal fans continue to speculate on these two duchesses' delicate condition based on the subtle clues they allegedly give away.
Apparently, both duchesses have this habit of clutching or touching their belly area during public engagements. Fans believe that this is one clue of a growing baby inside their wombs.
When Duchess Kate changed up her hairstyle in recent weeks, the buzz on her pregnancy grew even louder. Royal observers noted that she did the same hair makeover before announcing she was pregnant with Princess Charlotte in 2014 and Prince Louis in 2017.
Duchess Meghan, on the other hand, keeps wearing the same clothes she had on while in the first term of her pregnancy last year. Royal fans think that this is her way of telling the public that baby number two could be in the way.
Recent photos of Duchess Kate and Duchess Meghan have been carefully scrutinized by royal watchers. They think that these women have growing baby bumps and that a pregnancy announcement could be in the offing.
Body language expert Judi James, however, said that while Kate might be often seen touching her stomach area, it's a "less reliable" gesture to tell if she's pregnant with baby number four. James said that Duchess Kate might just be mirroring Prince William's poses while facing the public.
She conceded that it is a suggestive gesture of pregnancy but it will be surprising if Duchess Kate was truly with child. The expert said that Prince William's wife is known to suffer from a bout of extreme morning sickness during all of her pregnancies. Yet, she is currently with her husband in their Pakistan tour, which means she's not experiencing morning sickness.
Duchess Meghan's manner of recycling her shirt dresses, on the other hand, doesn't immediately indicate that she's expecting her second baby. According to a wardrobe expert, her dresses of choice are pretty convenient for breastfeeding Archie while still looking smart, feminine and put together with style.
It also means that the duchess is feeling more confident about her post-baby body. The shirt dresses emphasize her long and lean limbs while the belt highlights her figure without revealing too much.
To this date, the palace has not made any confirmation about the pregnancies of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle despite months of rumors.
