A US report today sensationally claims that Kate Middleton is expecting her fourth child, following a string of recent hints that the Duchess is indeed in the family way.
Sources told In Touch magazine that the mother of Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 3 and Prince Louis, who turns one in April, is 'about three months pregnant'.
'She's always wanted four kids so it's a dream come true,' the insider claimed.

According to the source William was 'hesitant about trying for another baby'.
'He thinks it's hard enough looking after three kids who are 5 and under, but it didn't take much for Kate to twist his arm,' said the source.
The report also claims that the couple are hoping for a little girl.
'[Kate] has always wanted two girls and two boys,' added the source.
The Palace has yet to respond to In Touch's report.
