Earlier this month the Duchess of Cambridge had royal watchers convinced she had ‘let slip’ she was having a girl, but if the latest rumours are anything to go by that might have just been William wishing out loud.
Kate, who is five months pregnant, reportedly revealed hopes for a son to a soldier during a St Patrick’s Day parade on the weekend.
At the event where she was accompanied by her husband Prince William, the Duchess said she didn’t know the sex of the baby, but had her fingers crossed for a little princess, the Daily Mail reports.
Guardsman Lee Wheeler had a chat with Kate about the baby during the parade.
“I asked her ‘do you know if it’s a girl or boy’, and she said ‘not yet’,” the 29-year-old soldier said.
“She said ‘I’d like to have a boy and William would like a girl’.”
Prince William has in the past revealed he would like to have two children, a boy and a girl, while Kate has remained tight-lipped about any future princes or princesses.
Two weeks ago reports from a crowd at another event attended by the royal couple had the gossip mill working in over drive when Kate hinted she was having a daughter — a conclusion that was excitedly leapt to after the Duchess thanked a crowd member for a teddy bear and said “I’ll take that for my d…” before cutting herself off.
Maybe she was talking about her dog, Lupo, after all.
