Royal watchers are willing to bet that the Duchess is expecting twins and is happy to hint it to everyone.
A very interesting fact: out of all the variety of colors that the Duchess of Cambridge could choose for her first and then second appearance in public after announcing her pregnancy, Kate settled on two: blue and pink. Why not lavender? Or your favorite milky white? Not creamy? Not red polka dots, finally. Two absolutely classic shades - powdery blue - first, and pink - now. Do you believe this is an accident? There is an opinion that all this is not without reason.
And now the Duchess has completely confused everyone by choosing for her second public appearance a very similar Orla Kiely dress, only pink, and again with black trim. Particularly impressionable royal observers saw this as a sign: “I’m expecting twins, a girl and a boy.” Actually, why not? Royal family insiders claimed that the Cambridges want to follow the example of Elizabeth II and are targeting a larger family. Moreover, at the beginning of this year, strange, as it seemed then, rumors appeared that some time ago Kate was thinking about IVF, because she wanted to quickly close the topic of pregnancy (they certainly do not improve her health, but time is ticking).
Her colleague, Princess Charlene of Monaco, actually did just that, giving birth to opposite-sex twins to Prince Albert (and although no one officially announced IVF, most agree that it could not have happened without him). And finally, the most interesting argument: Kate’s “astral sister”, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, gave birth to first a boy, then a girl, and then immediately twins, and of opposite sexes. Once again, this gave rise to rumors about IVF, which the Royal House of Denmark chose not to comment on. So, the Duchess of Cambridge has someone to look up to (read: Swedish family: who is to blame for the royal baby boom). And observers claim that the shades of Kate’s dresses indicate that she knows for sure that she will have opposite-sex twins.
Kate Middleton and Prince William already have two children - one-year-old Princess Charlotte and two-year-old Prince George. The latter, by the way, recently went to the kindergarten.
Kate Middleton and Prince William already have two children - one-year-old Princess Charlotte and two-year-old Prince George. The latter, by the way, recently went to kindergarten for the first time. At the same time, the British media confidently report that the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant again!
A new issue of Life&Style reports that Middleton made a “Christmas announcement.” The publication cites an insider close to the royal family, who said that holidays During a "regular dinner" with Prince Harry and the Middleton family, as the whole family relaxed in front of the TV, the couple announced that Kate was pregnant again. Everyone was shocked, but happy about the event!
Media reports that the Duchess of Cambridge is still in her early stages (about two months), so obvious signs of pregnancy are not yet visible to the public. Following this message, a number of media outlets hastened to refute this information, citing their sources. There have been no official comments from the royal family yet.
The fact that lately Kate often looks very tired in public also provokes additional discussions. So, during Christmas shopping, Middleton was exhausted. Fans immediately began to say that this appearance was a consequence of toxicosis, which was previously characteristic of the duchess. After all, when she was pregnant with Prince George, and then with Princess Charlotte, she experienced similar symptoms. She even refused to perform her royal duties for some time and did not appear at social functions.

Since 2012, Kate Middleton has been a patron of the Action on Addiction foundation, which provides assistance to women suffering from alcohol addiction. The pregnant duchess arrived at the event in a short dark blue coat from Goat, which showed off her charming legs. Both journalists and the men present drew attention to this.
Netizens praised the Duchess's legs, but spoke negatively about this - they believe that in her position one should not wear such a mini. And the fans didn’t like the heels of the shoes either - after all, Kate is already six or seven months pregnant.

"Extreme for the second half of pregnancy"
“Despite Kate’s persistent predilection for short coats, they don’t suit her at all. She’s become square. Although her legs are good,”
"In this situation, it rather spoils it than decorates it, and the shoes high heels- a pregnant woman wouldn't need it. This exit is not at all presentable."
“The fabric is like from the 50s of the last century. The length does not stand up to criticism at all. Even Macron’s wife, a big fan of minis, began to wear things of a decent length,”
"Strange length of the coat, as if she grew out of it"

The most attentive noticed that the heel of the shoes was scratched, but there is an explanation for this - it got stuck in one of the grates on the asphalt.
In general, Kate’s images are liked by network subscribers, but sometimes they are criticized.

January 17, 2018How Kate Middleton prepares for childbirth. The Duchess survived a terrible toxicosis and is now afraid of only one thing: the hype around her interesting position.
Photo: Tim ROOKE/REX/FOTODOM.ru“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in April 2018” - after this message from the official representative of the family, the already close attention to Kate Middleton became simply unbearable. A discussion over breakfast in almost every British family begins with a discussion of her toxicosis, the shape of her stomach and bets on the gender of the future heir to the throne. What about in England! All over the world people are wondering: who will be born?
Moreover, Kate and William already have a son and daughter - 4-year-old George and 2-year-old Charlotte. The Little Prince is the third in line to the British throne, and the princess is fourth (as you know, the first in this line is Elizabeth II’s son Prince Charles, and the second is his son Prince William, that is, Kate’s husband. The upcoming newborn will be fifth in this line). The TV program found out how real duchesses give birth.
Women's happiness: if only William were nearby...
Five months before Kate's third pregnancy, a scandal erupted: the paparazzi photographed Prince William on vacation in the Swiss Alps - he was skiing, drinking beer, talking with blonde beauties. True, in the evenings the prince danced solo in a bar and was not caught in adultery, but the very fact of a vacation without his wife and children was enough to make me wonder: is the life of the duchess such a fairy tale? After this, Kate and William rehabilitated themselves in front of the public in every possible way, making many protocol visits. And then, very opportunely, they announced the upcoming addition to the family. The prince began to leave the palace less often and practically canceled visits to friends. During meetings with journalists, he is terse: “This is good news, we are very happy. My wife’s health is not in danger.”
Where and how will she give birth?
Kate recently admitted to her loved ones that she remembers the excitement during her birth, not without horror. The hospital where George and Charlotte were born was surrounded by crowds of people all day long: tourists and compatriots of the couple broadcast live from the scene on social networks, and journalists went on air to the whole world. To avoid the fuss this time, the Duchess suggested that her husband think about giving birth at home, which is quite in the traditions of the royal family - Elizabeth II herself and her ancestors gave birth in Buckingham Palace. Monarchs began giving birth in hospitals only in the 70s of the 20th century, new tradition secured by Princess Diana, after which none of the royal family gave birth at home.
Over the course of a year, Kate spent 9 million rubles on outfits. The most expensive way out is in the photo. Visit to Paris, March 2017. Photo: REX/FOTODOM.ru In Kensington Palace (this is the official residence of the couple), Kate and William have 22 rooms, so one of them can be used as a delivery room without any problems. However, after much debate, the couple finally decided to give birth in a hospital.
So the next heir will most likely be born at the private Lindo Wing clinic at St. Mary's Hospital. It was there that Princess Diana gave birth to William and Harry, and Kate to George and Charlotte. The hospital is less than two miles from Kensington Palace. The duchess will most likely be accompanied to the hospital by her husband, who intends to take a small maternity leave. A two-room suite in this clinic costs 6.6 thousand pounds per day (507 thousand rubles). Consultations with specialists - another 6 thousand pounds (461 thousand rubles). By the way, in Moscow childbirth of a similar level costs about the same - about 1 million rubles.
Both previous times, the duchess spent only a day in the hospital. By the way, the royal family was given a 10 percent discount on services. The wing of the clinic where the birth will take place will be closed, security will be strengthened there, and parking will be prohibited. By April, markings for the press will be made at the entrance to the building - all places for journalists will be allocated in advance, accreditation will be issued now. In addition, just in case there is a firefighter, two more hospitals are preparing to admit Kate Middleton - Royal Berkshire and Queen Elizabeth.
Royal court obstetrician-gynecologist Guy Thorpe-Beeston and the Queen's personal gynecologist Alan Farthing will deliver the birth of Prince William's wife. Sir Marcus Satchel, who attended the Duchess's first birth, has retired.

By the way, previously, according to tradition, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was always in the next room with a woman in labor. He made sure that the heir to the British court was not replaced. In the 21st century, the prince himself controls the birth of the heir, in addition, video surveillance is carried out.

In accordance with royal traditions, Kate and William do not reveal who exactly will be born to them. By the way, in the matter of succession to the throne, gender does not matter. There was information that, moreover, girls. There is no confirmation of this data.
But it is known for sure that the birth of a new heir, like the previous two, will bring good income to the treasury. And the taxpayers' money spent on paying for the Duchess's birth will be repaid with interest. The birth of Prince George in 2013 attracted almost 30 million tourists to London; two years later, on the birthday of Princess Charlotte, 32 million people wanted to be in London. The PR campaign at London City Hall was then in charge of Iness Gordon, who called the number a record in an interview with The Telegraph: “It is impossible to quantify the impact of the birth of a royal child on the number of tourists visiting London, but it is clear that what happens in the royal family is becoming a key factor that attracts people to the capital."

Photo: Geoffrey SWAINE/REX/FOTODOM.ru According to tradition, bookmakers make money on the name of the future heir - they accept bets on the names, gender, and future godparents of the prince or princess. According to The Independent, those who guessed the princess's name - Charlotte Elizabeth Diana - were paid about a million pounds, and the bookmakers themselves earned even more on bets. Sellers of souvenirs, children's clothing, owners of restaurants, hotels and other entrepreneurs received millions in income. And with them the treasury of London.
By March, London hotels will create special offers for April: for example, they will offer visitors rooms with a view of Kensington Palace at a special price. The cost of a 5-star hotel will start from 600 pounds per day (46 thousand rubles).
Kate and William's residence in London is Kensington Palace. Their apartment consists of 22 rooms, in which they have made luxurious renovations. Photo: © Historic Royal Palaces/Robin FORSTER Immediately after the announcement of the gender and name of the new heir to the throne, many pens, caps, mugs, and clothes with his name will appear on sale. For example, after Charlotte was born, a personalized Coca-Cola and a collectible tea, Charlotte’s Tea, were released in her honor. In the first days after the birth of George and Charlotte, people spent over 320 million pounds on buying souvenirs in honor of the newborns alone. Marketing experts estimate that Princess Charlotte will bring more income to the English economy in the future than Prince George, as the girls' fashion industry is more developed. In the long term, the princess will bring 150 million pounds per year to the British economy.
How are the older ones doing?
Despite the fact that a nanny helps Kate and William with raising their children, they decided to send 2-year-old Charlotte to Willcocks Nursery School (a kindergarten with an enhanced education system). On January 8, Kate Middleton herself brought the princess to her first lesson. From Kensington Palace to a prestigious educational institution (children from respected British families receive their first education here), the driver took mother and daughter in 10 minutes. At the children's school, children from 2 to 5 years old are taught to write, read, count, speak foreign languages. Kids study music, painting, history, and play sports. A year of training costs 14.5 thousand pounds (more than 1 million rubles).

In addition to school, children study with tutors at home. In addition, William and Kate read to their children and speak foreign languages to them - whenever they have time, because the couple attends more than 200 mandatory events per year. Prince William completed a two-year stint as a rescue pilot with the Helicopter Ambulance Service last fall. Now he is engaged in solving government problems - problems of homeless people, adolescents with mental illness and cultural heritage issues. The heir to the throne says he has even less free time, but still finds time for his wife and children.
AdvertisingBritish heir to the throne Prince William and his wife, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, are expecting the birth of their third child.
Kensington Palace made an official announcement on Twitter that Prince William and his wife will become parents for the third time. “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very happy to announce that they are expecting their third child,” the statement said.
It is also clarified that Kate, as during her previous two pregnancies, suffers from toxicosis, and therefore will not be able to appear at social events in the near future.
No sooner had the world heard the news about Middleton’s next pregnancy than bookmakers began accepting bets on the name of the future prince or princess.
There were some oddities here too. Someone decided to make fun of the royal couple and created a petition so that the royal heir who is about to be born would be named Brexit - in honor of the historic referendum, during which the British voted to leave the European Union. But it is unlikely that William and Catherine will name their baby that way.
The Duchess of Cambridge has always had a very difficult time with pregnancy. The third exhausted her completely. Kate Middleton is literally on the verge of life and death, with the birth of her third child under threat.
Prince William's wife has severe intoxication, accompanied by weight loss and dehydration. Attacks of vomiting are sometimes repeated up to 25 times a day. Kate can't eat or even drink. The consequences could be very dire if the duchess is not hospitalized. Complications can lead to changes in blood composition and metabolic disorders, EG emphasizes, citing the Western press. Intoxication in the body expectant mother could lead to her own death or the loss of a child. Medical observation and intravenous feeding will help monitor the duchess's condition, then she will be able to bear another heir.
On September 4, it became known that 35-year-old Kate Middleton was pregnant again. Prince Harry has already shared his thoughts on this matter, and a little later the future father commented on the interesting situation of his wife. According to 35-year-old William, he and his wife are very happy, but now it’s a difficult time at Kensington Palace.
The news of Kate Middleton's third pregnancy instantly spread throughout the world's media. It is not surprising that since then members of the British royal family have been forced to constantly answer questions about the interesting situation of the Duchess of Cambridge. So, one of the first to comment was Prince Harry, who, although he had not seen his daughter-in-law for a long time, admitted that he was very happy for his brother and his wife.
The son of the British Duke of Cambridge William and Kate Middleton, four-year-old Prince George, went to school for the first time. The Guardian writes about this.
The prince began studying at one of the elite schools in the British capital - Thomas's Battersea. Tuition costs £18,000 a year. In total, 560 boys and girls from 4 to 13 years old study at the educational institution. According to BFM.RU, school director Ben Thomas promised to treat the young prince the same as all other students. It is noted that Prince George will be present only for part of the classes in order to get used to the educational process.
