Kate Middleton with twins on the way

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton to announce her pregnancy soon on Christmas Eve, according to reports floating on the internet.

According to reports, Kate Middleton and Prince William will soon announce Kate’s pregnancy as a Christmas gift to the Queen of United Kingdom (UK).

A royal insider told that the couple is expecting twins – a baby girl and a baby boy.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got married in 2011 and they have three children – Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge and Prince Louis of Cambridge.

The couple last visited Pakistan in October and the reports suggest that Kate won’t be joining William on a four-day royal trip to Oman and Kuwait.

This news has added fuel to pregnancy speculations as the Duchess of Cambridge had only missed overseas royal trip during pregnancy or maternity leave in the past.

Just last month, Kate pulled out of an event alongside husband Prince William at the last minute. It came as a surprise to many as the Duchess had attended a tea party at Kensington Palace with William earlier in the day.

Palace sources did not offer much explanation and said Kate’s decision to not attend the Tusk Conservation Awards gala was “due to the children.”

The Duchess has rarely cancelled royal engagements  and the last time she did it was because of morning sickness.
