Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on reports that Prince William and Kate Middleton are expecting their second child.
An Australian magazine claims a former school friend of the Duchess has 'confirmed' that she is pregnant.
Old pal Jessica Hay reportedly told New Day magazine that Kate's "inner circle are buzzing" with the baby news.
She believes there will be an announcement in the next few weeks and went on to claim Kate has already put on weight and is making efforts to disguise her figure.
However, the Palace refused to be drawn into speculation.
Sources have also pointed out that Hay and the Duchess are not close friends and have not spoken for many years.
Some observers have added weight to Hay's alleged comments, pointing out that she DID confirm Kate's first pregnancy several weeks before it was officially announced in 2012.
The couple was forced to reveal the news to the world after the Duchess was rushed into hospital with extreme morning sickness.
But thankfully her difficulties passed and next Tuesday will be Prince George’s first birthday.
The couple was last seen in public when she cut the ribbon at the Tour de France.
Then, Kate dazzled in a vibrant green Erdem coat-dress with nude heels and a nude clutch for the event at Harewood House near Leeds.
Rumours of a second pregnancy first surfaced during the couple's royal tour of Australia and New Zealand earlier this year.
But they were quickly scotched when Kate was pictured enjoy a large glass of wine during a tasting tour.
