Kate Middleton’s pregnant! O Really? Those have been the rumors buzzing around the newest Royal, the Duchess of Cambridge having only married to Prince William for just short of 7 months. American magazine claimed it could 'confirm' Kate is 'around six weeks pregnant.'

US In Touch Magazine definitely appear to feel they've got a dig, a Buckingham Palace insider saying "Since before they even got married, it's been made clear to William and Kate that having children should be their number-one priority".

But yesterday a Buckingham Palace spokesman refused to be drawn on the rumors, simply saying: ‘We do not comment on speculation. If there would be something positive, the world will hear from us not from US. ’

Last week officials issued a similar statement, which read: ‘This is not something we would confirm or deny.’

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton’s wearing loose outfits and denying to eat peanut paste in a recent trip to Denmark sparked the pregnancy rumours once again.

And now US publication In Touch has claimed it can ‘confirm’ the Duchess is expecting, adding the couple had already chosen potential name: 'Edward, Philip and Michael are likely choices for a boy, Alice or Rose for a girl.'

The magazine speculated the couple have even gone as far as deciding on nurseries, ‘one in Nottingham Cottage, where Kate and William have been staying, another near their home in Wales and yet another at Kensington Palace’.

Tom Sykes on The Daily Beast quoted the Buckingham Palace denial statement, “We never confirm or deny these rumors. This is about the millionth [pregnancy] report we’ve had. If it were true, you’d hear the announcement from us and not a gossip magazine in the U.S.”
