Odds on Kate Middleton’s fourth pregnancy have been slashed but could the Duchess really be expecting?

Some people are convinced Kate is pregnant

Kate Middleton

The odds on Kate Middleton’s fourth pregnancy have been slashed by bookies leaving many people to speculate that another Cambridge baby is on the way.

Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed their third child together on St George’s Day last year but could the couple be expecting a fourth baby?

William’s brother Prince Harry welcomed his first child with his wife Meghan Markle in May, but now royal fans are in a next level state of hysteria over the idea that Kate Middleton could announce a fourth pregnancy this year.

Coral bookmakers have slashed the odds of Kate and William announcing a fourth pregnancy before the end of 2019, with Harry Aitkenhead, a rep for the company, saying: 'We think that Will and Kate will add to their family in the next 18 months or so.

'So much so that we now make a pregnancy announcement during 2019 odds on.'

Back in January, betting intelligence site bookmakers.tv also revealed that odds on Kate and William having a fourth baby are at an all time low, which suggests a lot of people think another little Cambridge is on the way...

Odds in the UK on a fourth Cambridge baby had dropped to as low as 2/1 as a result of so many new bets being placed on this happening.

Ladbrokes had odds of 8/1 on Kate having a baby in 2019.

Speaking about the odds Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: ‘2019 may be Harry and Meghan’s year on the baby front but the latest odds suggest Kate isn’t far behind with baby number four possibly on the way.’

However, given that Kate has suffered from severe hyperemesis gravidarum for her previous three pregnancies, we think it’s highly unlikely she’s currently pregnant.

Kate has attended little Archie's christening over the weekend, which suggests she is not pregnant. The Duchess of Cambridge has previously had to pull out of her royal duties due to the severity of her hyperemesis gravidarum and this was usually followed by big royal announcement to confirm the baby news.

If Kate suddenly pulls out of next week’s events, our ears will certainly be pricked but, until then, it’s pretty safe to assume Kate and William are content with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
