Prince Louis will be turning two years old this year, so a lot of royal fans are hoping that the little prince will have a new sibling soon. The latest outing of his mother, Kate Middleton, made everyone believe that she is already expecting by not seeing her wearing this important piece. Is the Duchess of Cambridge really pregnant or it is just one of the many rumors about her alleged pregnancy?
As the Cambridges have yet to rule out the possibility of having another child publicly, fans remain hopeful that they will have a fourth baby. When Kate Middleton recently graced Evelina children's hospital, everyone was stunned by her beautiful appearance, wearing a black boucle Dolce and Gabanna skirt.
However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that there was one important accessory that she was not wearing: her sapphire and diamond engagement ring, per Express. The band's disappearance sent fans into a frenzy, believing Kate Middleton might be experiencing swollen fingers, a common symptom in pregnancy, that's why she was not wearing her ring.
The NHA revealed that swelling is quite common in pregnant women because their body is retaining "more water than usual." However, Kensington Palace quickly denied the claims, explaining that Kate Middleton was not wearing her ring due to health and safety concerns.
It told Hello! Magazine that Kate Middleton had to remove her ring because she would be entering the children's wards to avoid any potential hygiene hazards. However, this statement didn't stop the rumors from spreading. Even the bookies are convinced that she is indeed expecting baby number four.
Ladbrokes noted that the future queen consort is odds-on at 8/11 to announce she is pregnant before the year ends. Although everyone's attention is on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle right now, all eyes will return on Kate Middleton with her possible baby announcement soon.
It is not the first time that Kate Middleton has to remove her jewels for a hospital visit. According to New Idea, the mother of three also wore off her jewelry when she visited the children at Great Osmond Street in 2018. At the time, she also suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction moment when her Dolce and Gabbana skirt got caught by a gust of wind and blown into the air as she got out of her car.
Everyone thought Queen Elizabeth II would be mad of the mishap as Kate Middleton struggled to hold down her skirt. Allegedly, Her Majesty asked her granddaughter-in-law to put weights in her skirt so it would never be blown up. The Queen never had the same experience as she had $2 curtain weights inside the lining of her outfits.
