No wonder people don’t envy Kate Middleton. First came reports that she’s become too thin ahead of her wedding day. Now, the tabloid press have revived rumours that she’s pregnant.
The cover of this week’s Star celebrity gossip magazine bears the headline “Pregnant Bride!” (It’s not the first time the magazine’s been onbaby alert.) According to iVillage.com , the story cites an unnamed palace source who says Ms. Middleton and Prince William will announce they’re expecting a baby soon after their honeymoon. Rival Us Weekly, however, reports that royal officials say the pregnancy rumours are completely untrue.
Thank goodness no one is yet pointing out phantom baby bumps – although the way her every move is scrutinized, it’s a safe bet that a pregnancy belly-watch will begin the minute she’s photographed in a bulky sweater or indulging in a jelly doughnut.
