Is Kate Middleton Pregnant with Third Baby? Duchess of Cambridge Debuts New Hairstyle

Even though the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton has recently given birth to Princess Charlotte, there have been rumors that she is on her third pregnancy already.   Here is what is known about the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton possible Third baby, as well as updates on Princess Charlotte and Prince George. 

According to the International Business Times, Kate Middleton is already ready to have her third child, and this is just four months after giving birth to Princess Charlotte.  This is what a close source to the British royal family has told Hollywood Life, in order to dispel rumors that that Kate Middleton is already in the early stages of her third pregnancy. 

This same source has said that Kate wishes to have a baby by the time that she is 35, so she can have even more before she's 40.  In fact, it sounds like Kate has been talking about having 4 children before she's all done. 

William is with Kate on this one, but he has said a few months ago that "we've only just had the second one.  You never know what is going to happen in the future".   William has also spoken about Kate's "amazing" mothering skills and described Princess Charlotte as "a little joy from heaven". 

There are reports that Kate is suffering from postpartum depression after giving birth to Princess Charlotte in May, as she has been skipping certain royal duties. 

For example, there was an event that Kate and William were supposed to attend at the All Saints Church in Thurlestone, South Devon, with the wedding of socialite Daisy Dickson and estate agent Bear Maclean.  William, who is an old friend of the groom, ended up going with sister-in-law Pippa Middleton.  Apparently, William had decided that Kate's health not be put at risk, and Kate rested at home relaxing and playing with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. 

A recent report from Woman's Day states that Kate Middleton did make a rare public appearance on Sunday, debuting a new haircut.  She was attending morning mass with Prince William at the Crathie Kirk church in Scotland. 

This new haircut has oddly enough sent pregnancy rumors ablaze.  Apparently, the last time that the future Queen had this type of haircut, or fringe look, it was during her first pregnancy with Prince George in 2012.  This type of haircut "frames Catherine's fuller cheeks" as some sort of distraction from her rounder face. 

So, given that Kate Middleton is skipping out on events, is it possible that she is preparing for a third child?  One has to admit that she has the motivation, and the opportunity for her to skip events is being taken, something that Kate usually does not do.

Considering that she has had problems with her pregnancies in the past, it is possible that she is going to take more precautions with the third, and that is probably a wise decision.  Perhaps she will take the time to step out and make a formal declaration when she is ready.
