Kate Middleton is now celebrating baby news, but it's not her much-awaited fourth baby. Despite the odds that are expecting the Duchess of Cambridge to have a baby number four, the new baby is from her inner circle. Her best friend and Prince George's godmother, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, and husband David just welcomed their third child.
Kate Middleton's pal finally has a baby daughter, named Lucia Beatrice India. The kid was born on March 20, and, yes, she kept it a secret for a little while, Hello! Magazine noted.
Emilia and David's new kid joined their first two sons, Leo and Alexander. Her birth was announced in The Times newspaper's birth announcements section.
Prince William's wife has been close to Emilia since they were only 13. They attended Marlborough College together. From here, a sweet friendship began.
When the Duke of Cambridge and Kate Middleton parted ways in 2007, Emilia was the one who accompanied her to go on a holiday in Ibiza. She, too, reportedly, helped the future queen consort to redecorate Kensington Palace and Anmer Hall. She's now running an interior design company.
David, on the other hand, also went to Eton College with Prince William. Emilia is just one of the six godparents of Prince George. It's mostly composed of the Cambridges' close friends, like the future king's childhood friend, William van Cutsem.
Fans might have expected that it was Kate Middleton who had baby news. As Prince Louis recently celebrated his second birthday, the rumors are strong that a fourth Cambridge baby is coming on the way.
In fact, according to Her, bookies have been slashing the odds on her pregnancy announcement. There are also beliefs that Princess Eugenie is about to make a baby announcement soon after being married to Jack Brooksbank for a year.
Anyhow, to shut down these rumors, Kate Middleton finally breaks her silence and addresses the issue. When the crowd at St Patrick's Day Parade in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, asked if the couple had plans to add another member of the family, she said her husband would be "little worried."
"I think William would be little worried!" she revealed. Although she didn't explain her answer, with three kids around, she surely already has a handful.
But, aside from Kate Middleton, the public seems to be confident that Princess Eugenie is about to make a pregnancy announcement soon. She and her husband just celebrated their first anniversary, and it might be the right time to have their first baby.
