New Reports Say Kate Middleton Might *Already* Be Pregnant with Baby #3

Take this with a big ol' grain of internet salt, but: Speaking with Star magazine (via Hollywood Life), a source claims that Kate Middleton is apparently expecting a third little one, who is due "in late April or early May."

This *could* explain why she's been absent from some royal engagements, including Daisy Dickson's wedding in August, which sister Pippa attended in her place. "Kate has the Queen's blessing to forgo royal duties for at least two months, until she overcomes the treat of sickness," the insider said.

The Mayo Clinic recommends waiting four to six weeks after childbirth to resume sex, so if Middleton's healthcare provider gave her and Prince William the green light around that time, you could theoretically predict when Royal Baby III was conceived...

Aaaaanyway, Star has a history of crying "pregnant," and another source has already refuted the rumor to Gossip Cop, so now, we're back at square one: imaginary-squishing George and Charlotte. Which is not a bad place to be at all.
