OMG, CUTENESS OVERLOAD.
Get in the festive spirit everyone - Kate Middleton, Prince William, George and Charlotte have all posed for the camera for a festive photo and it's adorable.
Kensington Palace tweeted the picture, and captioned it: "A new family photo - Merry Christmas from The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and Princess Charlotte".
We might print it out and frame it (um, is that weird?)
Can you imagine how gorgeous this picture would be with the addition of snow or if they were wearing Christmas jumpers? Actually scrap that, we love it just the way it is.
New photographs of Princess Charlotte have been released by Kensington Palace to mark her six month milestone.
Oh how time flies!
Kensington Royal released the two pics on Twitter, and our heart instantly melted.
The two pictures were taken by the Duchess of Cambridge at their family home, Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
The last time we saw Princess Charlotte was in the summer, at her christening - scroll down to see the pics!
In a statement the palace said: "The Duke and Duchess continue to receive warm messages about Princess Charlotte from all around the world and they hope that everyone enjoys these lovely photos as much as they do."
Who needs Mario Testino when you're as good as K-Middy with the camera shutter.
Official pictures from Princess Charlotte's christening have been released and they've made us feel all warm inside.
The photos, taken by Mario Testino, show a big family photo which will no doubt have pride of place on Queenie's fireplace.
Right, as you were...
Today is a very special day - it's Princess Charlotte's Christening.
Here is a picture of Prince William, Kate Middleton, little Prince George and Princess Charlotte entering St Mary Magdalene, Sandringham, Norfolk, for the christening of Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
The ceremony, which started at 4:30pm today, was an intimate event with guests including the Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. grandparents Charles, the Prince of Wales and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall and Michael and Carole Middleton.
Also present were the Duchess of Cambridge's brother and sister, James and Pippa Middleton. Prince Harry was absent from the ceremony because he's in Africa working with rhino and elephant conservation charities.
Charlotte's five chosen godparents; a mix of Prince William and Kate Middleton's closest confidants, also attended: Sophie Carter (Kate's friend), James Meade (William's friend), Adam Middleton (Kate's first cousin), The Hon. Laura Fellowes (Princess Diana's niece), and Thomas van Straubenzee (an old classmate of William's).
The Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning in an ivory Alexander McQueen ensemble, teamed with a Jane Taylor hat.
Our favourite thing about today? The fact that Prince George wore a very similar outfit to his dad Prince William back in 1984. Check it out.
Who wore it best? LOL.
Kate Middleton and Prince William have revealed who Princess Charlotte's godparents are.
Kensington Palace announced that Princess Charlotte will have five guardians, all of whom are "friends or family". None of them are official royals.
Among the much-awaited list is the Duchess of Cambridge's cousin Adam Middleton as well as the Duke's cousin Laura Fellowes.
Sophie Carter, James Meadem and Thomas van Straubenzee have also been confirmed.
The Christening will take place today at St Mary Magdalene, Sandringham, Norfolk, where the Duke and Duchess have welcomed everyone to come and send their well-wishes.
The service will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
The 2-month-old little Charlotte will recycle the family's christening gown - which has been used since 2008 - which her older brother Prince George also wore.
Mario Testino has also been hired as the official photographer for the occasion.
Is this what Princess Charlotte will look like when she's all grown-up? Apparently so.
In 2013 (before even Prince George was born!), a graduate student from the Broad Institute of Harvard-MIT got together with MyVoucherCodes to use digital technology to create what a future royal princess will look like - as an adult.
Now, we've only had a glimpse at the Royal Princess so far so it's difficult to know how accurate this is, but, according to the prediction, when Charlotte grows up, she'll have Kate Middleton's thick, dark hair and William's eyes.

Kensington Palace has announced that the christening of Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana will take place on Sunday 5 July at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.
As with Prince George, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will christen the royal baby but, unlike her brother, Charlotte will not be christened in London.
Prince George's private christening took place in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace in London.
It is thought that Charlotte's service will be a similar small affair: only 22 guests attended George's christening in 2013. No details of who will be godparents have been revealed yet.
Princess Charlotte's birth certificate has been released. The document states the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's occupation as "Prince and Princess of the United Kingdom".
It also includes where both William and Kate were born (Paddington and Reading respectively).
The certificate includes the princess's full name - Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge and is signed by Alison Cathcart, the Deputy Registrar of Westminster Register Office, who also registered Prince George's birth.
Today, the Queen got to meet her new, three-day-old great-grand-daughter for the first time.
The couple's "usual address" is stated as Kensington Palace, London, and the Duke signed the certificate as "William".
Kensington Palace released a statement saying: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have formally registered the birth of Princess Charlotte. The Duke of Cambridge signed the birth register at Kensington Palace this afternoon witnessed by a registrar from Westminster Register Office."
Princess Charlotte's birth register document will be kept at the Westminster Registration Office.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have named the new royal princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, Kensington Palace has confirmed.
Her official title will be 'Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge'.
Charlotte was born at 8.34am on Saturday morning and weighed 8lbs 3oz. Her name is a nod to her family on both sides - Charlotte is the feminine of William's father, Charles and it's also Pippa Middleton's middle name, while Elizabeth and Diana are obviously William's grandmother and late mother's names.
Charlotte means "free man" traditionally and was the 17th most popular girl's name last year, according to BabyCentre.
Princess Charlotte isn't the first royal with the name; England's Queen Charlotte was the wife of George III. The couple also had a daughter they named Charlotte.
But don't expect there to be a rush of Charlottes anytime soon.
"It's a lovely name but we're expecting to see fewer babies being called Charlotte in the coming months," said Sasha Miller, International Managing Editor of BabyCentre.
"Parents don't want to be labelled as having been influenced by others in their baby name choice, particularly by such a high-profile family. That was a pattern we saw very clearly after the birth of Charlotte's older brother in 2013; the name George quickly dipped in popularity in BabyCentre's naming charts. New parents who had been thinking of naming their baby Charlotte, may well now be thinking again."

Wow! The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth at 8.34am and 10 hours later, she's carrying her newborn princess and taking her home. Yep, they'll be home in time for Britain's Got Talent. Good work!
Kate looked gorgeous as she stepped out of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in West London wearing a yellow Jenny Packham dress.
Earlier today, Prince William arrived at the hospital with Prince George - who looked as adorable as ever.
Prince William looked incredibly excited about the arrival of he and the Duchess of Cambridge's baby daughter. The Duke of Cambridge told the waiting paparazzi and fans that the couple were "very happy" with the new arrival before driving away in a Range Rover. The as-yet unnamed baby girl will be fourth in line to the throne, behind her grandfather Prince Charles, who is "absolutely delighted" by the news, her father Prince William and brother Prince George.
Rejoice! Kate <span class="highlight">Middleton has given birth to a baby girl.
It's time to get your royal bunting out because little baby George has himself a little sister today.
The Duchess of Cambridge and her husband Prince William welcomed their second (royal) baby on 2 May 2015.
Kensington Palace revealed the news on Twitter...

An email went out to members of the media...
"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a daughter at 8.34am.
The baby weighs 8lbs 3oz.
The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth.
The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news.
Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."
Kate Middleton is in the early stages of labour and was admitted to hospital around 6am this morning. The next official announcement is likely to be that of the birth.
Prince William is by his wife's side at the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in West London, where he himself was born in 1982, and where the couple's son, George, was born in July 2013. [#twitter:https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/594375675089395713] The couple's nanny Maria Borrallo, is looking after their eldest son, Prince George. The Duchess of Cambridge is thought to be over a week overdue and there is talk that she may have to be induced.
<p id="ext-gen134" class="mol-para-with-font">A spokesman for
the couple said in a statement: "The Duchess of Cambridge has been
admitted to St Mary's Hospital in the early stages of
labour."
"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted at 06.00hrs to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London and is in the early stages of labour."
"The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge."
Prince Harry is set to miss the birth of his new niece or nephew as he flew out of London last night to return to his army job in Australia.
Kate Middleton and Prince William's second child is thought to be five days overdue and it now seems that Harry won't meet the newest member of his family until mid-May when he returns to the UK.
Harry's weekend whistle-stop tour included a visit to his brother and sister-in-law in Kensington Palace and an appearance at the London marathon on Sunday. The young prince joked that he'd like to see the couple welcome a girl.
"I can't wait to see my brother suffer more," the cheeky Prince revealed back in September when news of a second royal baby became public. "And with any luck, if it's a girl, then he'll suffer even greater. I'd love to see him try and cope with that!" he said.
Like Prince George, it seems that the second royal baby will be late.
Check back to GLAMOUR for updates on the royal baby.
Kate Middleton and Prince William are well and truly down with the kids - the pair will be informing the world of the royal baby's arrival by sending out the news electronically. Yep, on Twitter.
#Modern.
According to reports, an email will go out to members of the media and then, "a couple of minutes later," an aide explains, the news will be announced on the palace's social media feeds, including the @KensingtonRoyal Twitter and Instagram accounts.
The information will be the sex of the baby, the time of birth and the weight.
The next piece of information will tell us when the couple and their son or daughter are leaving the hospital. And then after, once they've faced the dreaded camera, the family is expected to stay at their London home Kensington Palace for a couple of days before heading to their country residence, Anmer Hall, around 150 miles north, where they will spend much of the summer.
William is set to have two weeks' paternity leave from his new job as an air ambulance pilot, for which he re-starts training on 1 June.
As the Kate Wait rumbles on, the bookies are being inundated with bets.
A Manchester man has put £10,000 on the new royal baby being a girl - and he stands to win £15,000 if he's right.
Currently, Ladbrokes' odds are 8/15 for a girl and 11/8 for a boy.
The man, who usually bets on horse racing and football, said: "I'm not really bothered by the royals, but I'd just had a big win and my missus reckons it's a girl, so that's a good enough reason for me."
Alice is the favourite name for a new princess at 5/4 - but a poll carried out for The Sunday Times found the public's top pick to be Diana.
Other bookies' favourites are Charlotte, at 5/1 and James or Arthur if it's a boy (20/1 and 12/1).
The due date of new baby Cambridge is not known; but odds are in that it could be April 29 (the couple's fourth wedding anniversary).
This is lovely news - Kate Middleton has someone to keep her company as she waits for baby number two to arrive. Her husband, Prince William, has started his paternity leave early after completing the first phase of his air ambulance training ahead of time, meaning he can be by his wife's side as she scolds him for putting him in this damn situation.
The Prince, who is training to become an air ambulance helicopter pilot with Bond Air Services in Norfolk, was due to remain at his and the Duchess of Cambridge's country residence, Amner Hall, in the run up to the birth of their second child.
The distance apart meant that if the Duchess went into labour while William was at work, he faced a two hour drive to London.
"The Duke of Cambridge has completed the first phase of his in-work air ambulance helicopter pilot training with Bond Air Services earlier than anticipated," a Kensington Palace spokesperson has said. "This is due to a combination of The Duke performing well in the various modules and having very good flying conditions that allowed flight training and assessment to progress more quickly than had been planned," they added.
The Duchess is currently chilling out with her feet up at Kensington Palace - which is close to St Mary's Hospital, where she is due to give birth.
We don't know whether Prince George will be getting a brother or a sister, but we DO know that the Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth at some point in April.
As Kate Middleton's due date nears, there are lots of people placing bets on the name, hoping to cash in.
Punters in a Kent area have caused a surge in bets on the name of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby.
Bookmaker William Hill has slashed the odds on the royal baby being called Alice from 14-1 to 4-1.
William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said there had been a "large volume of bets" from that area.
He told Mailonline: "Alice is the new favourite and we have seen a significant number of bets. You have to think there is good reason for the gamble."
If the baby does prove to be a girl called Alice it would not be a huge break with tradition.
Since the mid 19th century a number of royal women have been called Alice, with Queen Victoria calling her second daughter Princess Alice and the wife of the late Duke of Gloucester - the Queen's uncle - having the same name.
At Ladbrokes the name Elizabeth leads the way as the 5/1 favourite for the name of choice. This royal name is followed closely by Charlotte, Alexandra and James.
The Metro combined Ladbrokes, Paddy Power and Coral's odds for their calculations, giving Elizabeth 7/2 odds, followed by James 8/1, Charlotte 9/2 and Victoria 10/1. Five names were tied with 12/1 odds: Philip, Alice, Mary, Arthur and Diana.
The site shared some unusual bets as well, like Tyrone (100/1), Macbeth (500/1), Ringo (5001/1) and Chardonnay (500/1).
Oh, please name her Chardonnay, M-Middy...

We're not sure who was more starstruck, Kate Middleton or Harry Styles, when they met last night - but we reckon it was probably Harry, who, rather than sticking to a traditional royal greeting, couldn't help congratulating Kate on her bump!
The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William met the One Direction boys at the Royal Variety Performance in support of the Entertainment Artists' Benevolent Fund at the Palladium Theatre in London, and the boys admitted they were really nervous for the meeting.
"It's the most nervous I think I've ever been in my life," Liam said, while Louis admitted: "I didn't say 'ma'am. I said, 'Hi, How are you? I'm Louis.'"
Don't worry, Louis, we'd have done the same.
However the most down-to-earth chat was heard from Harry, who congratulated Kate on her bump.
"I said congratulations on the bump," Harry said. "(Though) she didn't look bumpy."
We guess Kate should take that as a compliment?
The boys also became pally with Prince William, who told them he'd been "keeping a close eye" on their career. It must be nice to have a royal fan!
How lovely! Kate Middleton looked gorgeous as she arrived at the Wildlife Photography of the Year awards last night.
It was a big day for the Duchess yesterday - it was her first public appearance since her pregnancy was revealed. Kate remarked that she was pleased to be "out of the house" after suffering with Hyperemisis Gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness.
Last night she arrived at the awards, which were held at the Natural History Museum, of which Kate is a patron. She looked beautiful in a bespoke Jenny Packham pale jade crepe full-length gown, which she teamed with nude stilettos, and Monica Vinader jewellery.
On Tuesday morning her radiant smile spoke volumes about how the Duchess felt about getting back to work this week.
Kate told guests: "I've been looking forward to getting out of the house, that's for sure."
Aww, some royal baby news for you! Kensington Palace has confirmed that Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William are due in April 2015, and they are "delighted".
Will Royal Baby #2 be a headstrong Aries or a stubborn Taurus? Only time will tell…
As with her first pregnancy, the Duchess has suffered from acute morning sickness and been treated by doctors at Kensington Palace. The royal household said in a statement that the Kate's condition is "steadily improving."
The statement read: "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in April 2015.
"The Duchess of Cambridge continues to be affected by hyperemesis gravidarum, but her condition is steadily improving."
Now, can we have a public holiday for the occasion? Please?
Kate Middleton added an exciting new role to her royal duties today, but was unable to attend its launch today because of her severe morning sickness, or hyperemesis gravidarum.
Kate will be a patron of The 1851 Trust, a new charity which supports sailing and aims to bring the America's Cup back to the UK.
Despite her debilitating sickness, she released a statement via the Palace, saying: "I am delighted to be royal patron of The 1851 Trust.
"I feel very fortunate to have enjoyed sailing from a young age and I know it is a great way of providing young people with the opportunity to develop skills and confidence.
"It is a hugely exciting time for sailing as the British challenger bids to bring the America's Cup back to Britain.
"I am looking forward to being part of this journey and I hope that through The 1851 Trust we can engage and inspire a new generation into sailing along the way."
Poor Kate - we hope she will feel much better soon, otherwise who are we going to get our maternity clothes-inspo from?!
Poor Kate Middleton, she's still suffering from severe morning sickness, and now reports are coming through that the Duchess of Cambridge has cancelled another upcoming appearance.
Us Weekly's insider reports that Kate has pulled out of an event in Portsmouth because she is still unwell. The 32-year-old was supposed to be visiting Olympic sailor Sir Ben Ainslie's America Cup team base next Monday, 13 October in Portsmouth.
"She had plans to go to the team's new headquarters in the Camber Docks at Old Portsmouth," the source tells the magazine. "The engagement was never formally announced."
It's not been the first event she was forced to cancel, Kate also pulled out of plans to make her first solo royal tour to Malta at the end of September.
"Her Royal Highness continues to suffer from the effects of hyperemesis gravidarum," the palace said in a statement at the time. "The decision not to visit was taken by the Duke and Duchess on the advice of the Duchess' doctors."
"The decision to undertake engagements is being kept under review on a case by case basis," a spokesman for Kensington Palace has said.

Let's be honest, we would all love an insight into Kate Middleton's pregnancy and how she goes about her daily life - and now it seems a new documentary, Kate Middleton: Heir We Go Again!, is in production.
The hour-long documentary, made by Woodcut Media, concentrates on Kate's second pregnancy, and will examine how the baby will affect the family and the country, as well as looking at her morning sickness and her choice of pregnancy designers.
"Closely spaced siblings are a royal tradition, so with Kate and William's first son George born just over a year ago and in line to be king, the documentary will also take a look at the implications for their next child," Woodcut said. "How will he or she get on with their sibling? Will there be a bond or rivalry? What would happen if Prince George ever abdicated? Would this child being a 'spare heir' have more freedom to live their life?"
The project will feature contributions from commentators and journalists close to the royal family, including Princess Diana's ex-bodyguard.
"We are confident this documentary will attract a global audience, as the British royal family is one of the most recognized families in the world," said Kate Beal, CEO of Woodcut Media. "With Kate Middleton and Prince William constantly in the public eye, this documentary will offer viewers a unique perspective on Kate's journey as she deals with her second pregnancy, whilst looking after Prince George."

Prince William has launched a crack down on paparazzi to protect Prince George.
According to The Evening Standard, William is determined that he, Kate and their children will not experience the same level of press intrusion as his late mother Diana - and so has sent final warning legal letters to freelance photographers he believes are pursuing him and his son during walks in the park with a nanny.
Insiders at the palace have said there have been "clear privacy breaches" involving Prince George recently - including an incident in Battersea Park, and outside the palace pool at Buckingham Palace where George often paddles.
A source told the Evening Standard:
"Just like any parent, the Duke and Duchess want Prince George to have the freedom to safely experience normal childhood activities, like going to the park and playing with other children, without the threat of harassment or being placed under surveillance.
"One of the individuals has already been spoken to by protection officers about his behaviour in respect of members of the Royal Family on previous occasions over a number of years."
A spokesman for William and Kate also confirmed the news, saying in a statement:
"The Duke and Duchess have taken legal steps to ask that an individual ceases harassing and following both Prince George and his nanny as they go about their ordinary daily lives.
"An incident last week has prompted Their Royal Highnesses to seek reasonable assurances from the individual about his behaviour.
"The individual was spotted at a central London Park in the vicinity of Prince George, who was removed from the park immediately.
"There is reason to suspect that the individual may been placing Prince George under surveillance and monitoring his daily routines for a period of time."
The Duke and Duchess are arguing that while Prince George will one day inherit a public role, as a child he should be able to lead a normal life.
"No parent would tolerate the suspicion of someone pursuing and harassing their child and carer whilst their child is playing in a public park or going about their daily activities," their spokesman said.

You may have lusted over Kate Middleton's collection of designer dresses, been jealous of the fact she gets to hang out with the Queen all the time, or wanted a £250k Alexander McQueen wedding dress for yourself - but only 1 in 100 of us would actually swap places with the Duchess, according to a YouGov poll.
The surprising stats come as feminist Germaine Greer launched a surprising attack on the life of the Royal, calling being a Princess a "bastard of a job".
Talking to Newsweek, Germaine said, "She is vomiting her guts up and shouldn't have been made to go through all this again so soon.
"It's not so much that she has to be a womb, but she has to be a mother. I would hope after this one she says, 'That's it. No more'. The girl is too thin."
She added: "She cannot do or say anything spontaneous. She has learned what she has to do and say and how to do and say it in the approved way. Spontaneity will get her in trouble.
"Kate is not even allowed to decorate her own houses. Even the wives of the American presidents get to do that."
Suffering from acute morning sickness, Kate has had to cancel several royal appearances, but Germaine argued that her only role was to be a mother despite being "a great deal more intelligent than the rest of the royals", with her degree in art history.
"The whole thing is a mad anachronism," Germaine argued.
"The 'firm' tell us that the first born will now become the monarch regardless of sex. Well, big fucking deal! Kate is not allowed to have an interest in modern culture, even in art - to collect, to attend openings.
"She is made to appear absolutely anodyne. She cannot do or say anything spontaneous. She has learned what she has to do and say and how to do and say it in the approved way. Spontaneity will get her in trouble."
Newsweek's article also revealed that 38% of women and 35% of men believed Kate was not allowed to voice her opinions enough or at all, while over 20% of people thought Kate's body had become "public property."
Just 36% of the 3,000 polled believed that Kate had "control and ownership over her own body".
We don't even know what sex the child is yet, but already speculation is rife about what the second Royal baby will be called.
And in a highly dubious report by GLOBE magazine (which came to us via Celeb Dirty Laundry), K-Middy and Wills have pretty much decided they are having a baby girl (even though, y'know, there's no way they can tell what it is yet). What's more, they want to call her Elizabeth, after the Queen. Margaret was also bandied about by Royal gossip-mongers as a potential baby name, but apparently GLOBE magazine are convinced Lizzy will be the name of choice.
"They've already told the ailing Queen they believe it's a girl, and asked for her permission to name their baby Elizabeth" GLOBE'S source said.
"Like many of us, William and Kate fear the Queen doesn't have long left, and want to honor her while she is still alive. She was absolutely thrilled by the news, it's given her a new lease on life."
Erm, we're sure the Queen wouldn't take too kindly to the "ailing" name-tag - she seems pretty sprightly to us. But then the rest of the article is full of all sorts of conspiracy theories about Kate and Wills trying to usurp Prince Charles as the next in line to the throne - so probably best to assume most of these rumours are rubbish.
But still, we think Elizabeth would make a lovely name for a little girl, especially with the couple's first born child taking George, a very traditional name.

Kate Middleton's severe morning sickness, a condition known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum, has caused her to cancel her planned tour of Malta.
The two day trip was planned for the 20-21 September, but sadly Kate won't be able to make the journey due to her illness.
"The Duchess of Cambridge will no longer visit Malta this weekend. The Duke of Cambridge will undertake the visit instead" Clarence House said in a statement.
"HRH continues to suffer from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. The decision was taken on the advice of doctors...The Duke of Cambridge is honoured to represent The Queen on the visit, which commemorates the 50th anniversary of Malta's Independence."

Forget the Monday blues, we have the most exciting news ever, Kate Middleton is pregnant, and it's confirmed and everything.
Clarence House has just tweeted: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their second child"
Followed with a second tweet: "The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news that Their Royal Highnesses are expecting their second child".
This will be the second child for Prince William and Kate Middleton, and will be a brother or a sister for Prince George.
According to the BBC, much the same with K-Middy's first pregnancy, the duchess is suffering from very acute morning sickness and is being treated by doctors at Kensington Palace.
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted he was "delighted by the the happy news that they're expecting another baby".
Clarence House says that the duchess will no longer accompany Prince William on their planned engagement in Oxford on Monday.
The sickness - called hyperemesis gravidarum - is a condition that may require supplementary hydration, medication and nutrients.
And with this news, we're very much looking forward to Queenie's future tweets!

The rumour mill is going into overdrive with news that the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William could be expecting their second child.
Kate Middleton has been on "Baby Number 2" watch pretty much as soon as she gave birth to Prince George. And as the little tyke turns one next week, it seems everyone thinks that Kate's pregnant again. First we had a round of slightly dodgy gossip from an "ex school-friend" who told an Australian magazine that Kate's inner circle was "buzzing" with the news that she was expecting - which the Palace refused to comment on.
But now bookmakers Coral have announced they have stopped taking bets on a new royal baby announcement. Why? Because there was a rush of punters betting on the possibility of Baby No.2 last night, leading bosses to believe the baby news had been leaked from the Palace.
"With Prince George's first birthday just around the corner, the latest gamble strongly indicates that he could soon be joined by a little brother or sister", a Coral spokeswoman said.
"In fact, there could even be double celebrations in the Windsor household next Tuesday" she added.
Of course, this could all be a load of speculation and everyone freaking out about those rumours - but a little brother or sister would be a lovely first birthday present for George...
