The Stork Could Be Flying Towards Buckingham! Will And Kate Have Some Big News To Share

And the next generation of royals could be on their way!

Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, or Will and Kate to most, are set to announce Catherine’s pregnancy, a friend of the royals has claimed.

According to the insider, Prince William, 30, and his wife, also 30, are preparing to share "happy, wonderful news" with the world next month.

Jessica Hay, a close friend of the duchess, has revealed the royal couple want to become parents at a young age and added she has noticed a telltale weight gain on slender Catherine.

Here’s hoping it’s a baby bump!!

"William and Kate are focused on starting a family. They've discussed it endlessly and don't want to be older parents," she claimed to New Idea magazine. "They're planning to make an announcement in December."

Hay, who went to school with the duchess and attended the royal wedding reception in April 2011, added that William and Catherine are hoping for two children.

She also alleged that they are hoping for a baby of each gender.

"It seems very traditional but of course they'll be happy with two boys or two girls, they don't want more," she said.

The ‘Is Kate pregnant?’ rumour mill has been churning since the couple married last year . Earlier this year, William added fuel to the rumours when he admitted he has thought about starting a family.

"I'm just very keen to have a family and both Catherine and I are looking forward to having a family in the future," he said.

In September, he was overheard saying he would love to have two youngsters.

The excitement! Who’ll be first to bet on whether it’s a boy or a girl?!
