Kate Middleton is pregnant, with the royal family confirming that her and Prince William are expecting a child. She’s only thought to be a couple of months along, so it’s still early days.

The pressure on a newly married royal couple to get pregnant is immense, and a little unfair if you ask me. Can’t they just enjoy being together for a while before needing to produce heirs?

There is now speculation as to what the couple are expecting; is it a boy, a girl, twins, triplets, etc.? No one outside the family knows, and perhaps it should stay that way.

I may be a member of the British public but I for one detest the OTT interest shown in royal affairs. Good luck to them, but the press really should let them be.
