It's OFFICIAL! Kate Middleton has announced she is pregnant.

It's official. The Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant. The announcements have got as far as the national press (and why wouldn't we disbelieve anything they print). Refreshingly in this post-Levison era, the news came from the couple themselves rather than a journalist rummaging through the bins at Kensington Palace and finding a pregnancy test/burst condom.

The announcement reads that the Duchess is expecting a baby which I suppose is a bit of a relief. If she was expecting a puppy then some serious questions would have to be asked!

Joking aside, congratulations to both of them. I hope it goes well and they have a healthy, happy child at the end of it.

Kate Middleton is PREGNANT!!

It's official. The wife of the third in line to the throne is expecting a baby. We are to have a new member of the Royal Family. Break out the bunting!

How do I know this? My source is the morning drive time show on Heart radio. According to the presenter this morning, her dog predicted a royal baby by the end of the year. This was confirmed by a member of the public who said Prince William smiled when presented with a babygro by a member of the public emblazoned with the slogan, "Daddy's copilot".

Who needs clearblue or any other pregnancy test with this cast-iron evidence.

People of Britain take this as a call to arms (well knitting needles). Start knitting bootees and baby jumpers now.

ps, for legal reasons I should probably put that I am being ironic. As far as I'm aware the Duchess of Cambridge is not pregnant. This is purely a comment on the idle speculation which I found so amusing on my way into work. If, however, she is pregnant; may I be the first to offer my congratulations to the couple and wish them a healthy, happy baby.
