New Report Claims Britain’s Kate Middleton Is Pregnant

It’s great news if the newly minted princess is actually pregnant, but come on this is getting ridiculous. For months now magazine after magazine claimed that each has ‘inside source’ or ‘royal source’ that end up being proven wrong again and again. This is another tabloid story in the hope to sell more magazines.

I have three legal last names on my passport and a stage name list. I was required by my ultra rich father to be used in films + from when I was a child. Natali Wood was not murdered, she was me. There were and still are too many news sources to attempt to be honest. I have been a blond and have had hair close to black. Dolly Parton + can identify me as the Sally Field. Strangers in Nashville and more would identify me as the singer Shenia Twain. Just wanted too thank ABC for taking care of the real Royals. They are potential peace keepers. The British have no estate tax as a % of the net estate or land and building tax. Only the French did those greedy tax things. Think trade deficate.

lol. she’s not kate middleton anymore.

Egads. When will ABC get her name and style right? Let me help you, ABC, since you’re too lazy to do the work yourself. Her name is now Princess William Arthur Philip Louis, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus. The lesser titles can be left off for a shortened version of HRH Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, but it is absolutely incorrect, disrespectful, and a violation of protocol to still be referring to her as ‘Kate Middleton’. Good luck as always to the royal couple.

“For a U.S. audience, it makes sense to still refer to her as Kate Middleton.” ~~~~~~~ Yeah, about as much sense as it would make to still be referring to Michelle Obama as Michelle LaVaughn Robinson constantly in news pieces. No matter where she lives or whether she’s royalty, the news should refer to a married woman by the name the married woman uses, not by her maiden name when she’s chosen a different name.

HRH Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge happens to be the style of a widowed or divorced duchess, so that doesn’t fly either.

Rumors may or may not be true, but the source is suspect. No way would they consider Edward for a name after Edward VIII. Queen granny would not be amused. Michael, Alice, and Rose may be traditional in the wider world of names, but not for British royalty.

Seriously? When did abc start using in touch magazine as a source? Good grief!

@M “HRH Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge happens to be the style of a widowed or divorced duchess, so that doesn’t fly either.” ~~~~~~~~ True. Technically, she’d be HRH Princess William, Duchess of Cambridge, because she’s commoner by birth and can’t take a title in her own name/right, but many news sites use the HRH Catherine despite this. Totally agree with you on your comments re the names and the source being suspect.

Many many many Blessings and Congrats to the Princess. I hope she has a safe and wonferful pregnancy. But more so I hope that the news agencies and nosy people allow Her and Prince William privacy. I wish you a safe, happy, easy pregnancy and a Happy Healthy baby(ies?).

How rude of ABC to speculate before the royal annoucement is made. Uncouth, to the limit, ABC.

When William’s mother married his father, the press did not continue to call her “Diana Spencer”. Why do the media persist in calling the Duchess “Kate Middleton”? Someone claimed that Prince Charles’s wife is still called Camilla Parker Bowles, but I don’t call her that, nor does anyone of any intelligence. Better to use the lone name “Camilla” than the name of her first husband. It doesn’t matter that the US threw off the monarchy. It’s not some great betrayal of our republic to stop using these women’s maiden and first-marriage names if they themselves no longer use them. As for a pregnancy, I’ll wait for the official announcement, but I really doubt that a baby would be given the first names of living people in the royal family, with the possible exception of “Elizabeth” for a girl. That means Edward, Philip, and Michael would be out.

Mimi, I said “people of intelligence”. By that I don’t mean people who write for the Daily Mail or other trashy papers. I also don’t mean people who read them.

really who cares?

I do not remember when Princess Di and Prince Charles got married. I was alive, but only 2yrs old. However, we’ve ALWAYS called her Princess Di, not Diana, Diana Spencer, or any other name/style. Just because Kate was born a commoner does not mean we cannot call her ‘Princess.’ Furthermore, just because she married royalty does not mean we have to start calling her ‘Catherine’ as opposed to the name ‘Kate’ we’ve grown accustomed to. Really, who cares what we call her? Saying ‘Kate’ or ‘Princess Kate’ is NOT an insult by any means. No, I’m not uneducated. I realize there is some awkward sentencing; however, one should always write at an 8th grade level as to convey their message effectively to a wide audience. Anyone with at least an English 101 education would know that (obviously, I took great offense to the ‘uneducated’ comment ;-)) In Touch Magazine has had a good source in the past on royal gossip, but remember it IS just gossip. I say wait until the happy couple do an official announcement. As a newlywed, I’d be MORTIFIED if people were constantly speculating on my marriage and procreation. Just remember, folks, these two are still just people like you and I.

Jenny Bruckner, dear, it was NEVER correct to call Diana, the Princess of Wales, “Princess Diana”. Didn’t anyone ever tell you that? She was not entitled to use “Princess” before her given name, because she was not born a princess. As for the Duchess of Cambridge, while she, too, is a princess by marriage, she is NOT “Princess Catherine” or “Princess Kate”. Moreover, she has not been “Kate Middleton” since April 29th. She is “the Duchess of Cambridge,” or “Catherine,” period. Nothing else.
