In just a few days, a notable anniversary will approach for Kate Middleton relating to her struggles with severe morning sickness years ago. According to a royal commentator, the timing of this milestone coupled with other recent events have ignited speculation that the Duchess of Cambridge could be pregnant with baby number four.
Back in 2012, Kate was hospitalized for hyperemesis gravidarum, a rare form of acute morning sickness, during the early stages of her first pregnancy with Prince George. This caused huge concern for her health and well-being. Now, in only a matter of days, it will be a decade since this debilitating episode occurred. With the anniversary so close, many are calling to mind Kate’s history with the condition and wondering if she could potentially be going through it once more.
Adding to the fervor is the fact that in recent months, the Duchess appeared to take on a lower profile with fewer public appearances. She also opted not to join her husband Prince William on a major Caribbean tour back in March. For an intensely dedicated royal like Kate, this change in engagement has fueled chatter that she may be aiming to rest up if pregnancy symptoms have arisen. Though Kensington Palace is yet to confirm or deny any rumors, the timing of the significant anniversary has royal watchers buzzing with anticipation.
It remains to be seen if an announcement will be made. However, the close approach of the hyperemesis gravidarum anniversary along with Kate’s pulled-back schedule this year have provided ample conversation fodder for those speculating on the possible addition of another little Cambridge to the royal family. Only days remain until we find out if their deducing comes to fruition or if the Duchess will continue to keep everyone guessing for now.
