A new tabloid report says that Prince William and Kate Middleton are set to have twin girls.
Star Magazine’s October 20 edition says that the royal couple are definitely having a girl, but that it’s possibly twins.
The tabloid says that Kate is already gaining baby weight, which some are taking as a sign of twins.
In fact, the report claims that the prince has already told Queen Elizabeth: “It’s two girls!”
The report follows a source telling the National Enquirer tabloid in late September that the couple is possibly going to have twins.
“While the official announcement said Kate was expecting another little prince or princess, it’s possible she’s actually carrying twins,” the source said.
“That’s because an ultrasound test performed around the six-week mark of her pregnancy indicated the presence of two heartbeats!”
Baby Centre, an organization in the U.K., says on its website that an ultrasound scan is the only way to confirm twins but that it won’t be confirmed until the 10-week mark.
“Ultrasound is almost foolproof at diagnosing twins, but the greater the number of babies, the less accurate it is at detecting how many babies there are,” it says.
The Enquirer said that the couple “have genetics on their side for a multiple pregnancy,” citing twins from William’s maternal uncle Charles Spencer, and the fact that Kate’s paternal grandmother had a twin sister and her father Michael had twin great aunts.
