Did Prince Harry let it slip that his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, is having a boy?
NY Daily News reported that although there was earlier speculation that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a girl after a slip of the tongue, there are new rumors circulating that she is actually having a boy.
Prince Harry is rumored to have been telling friends that he is excited to meet his new nephew, that Kate has always wanted a boy, and that the Duke and Duchess have settled on a name for the new addition to their family. A royal insider is reporting, "the close inner circle all know that it’s a boy and they’re busily buying gifts with a boy theme. There will be an awful lot if blue in their house."
Prince Eugenie, a cousin of Prince William, has also been telling friends that the royal couple are expecting a boy, according to The Daily Mail. However, another insider says that the royals have not told anyone the gender and are determined to keep it under wraps.
There is also ongoing speculation about what hospital the Duchess will give birth in. There are reportedly two options, the Royal Berkshire Hospital, which the Duchess was born in herself, or St. Mary's Hospital, which Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William in.
The speculation is bound to be ceaseless until the baby, which is due in mid-July, is born.
