Kate Middleton Pregnant Rumors Circulate After Duchess Declines Peanut Butter (POLL)

First Posted: 11/04/2011 5:29 pm Updated: 01/04/2012 4:12 am

Is the Duchess of Cambridge eating for two? That's the crazy rumor circulating the Internet today.

Here's the damning evidence in its entirety: Kate refused to taste peanut paste during a royal appearance with her husband in Denmark, where the couple visited a UNICEF aid center.

On the trip, where Kate wore this gorgeous red coat, Will and Kate were offered a taste of the peanut paste sent to malnourished African children.

The Duchess declined a taste, lest she get any on her impeccable red coat. And then, Us Weekly notes, after Kate passed, she gave her husband a "knowing smile."

So? Well, pregnant women are often told to avoid peanut products, reports Us Weekly in their story:

Doctors have frequently recommended pregnant women avoid peanuts and peanut byproducts while expecting in order to prevent the development of allergies in their babies-to-be.

The Palace itself even "went out of their way to stress that she has no nut allergy whatsoever," royal editor for Britain's The Sun told ABC News.

If Kate were pregnant, a new, recent ruling indicates that their first-born daughter could become the queen of England.

So clearly, this peanut hubbub means the royals should start clearing out room in the Palace for a nursery, right? As for us, we think the rumors doth circulate too much.

Could Kate really be pregnant?

I mean, it sounds kind of valid!

No, just another dumb rumor.

I do this is may be pregnancy or at least health related. If she simply didn't like the taste I think she would be pushed to at least make a show of trying it.
07:35 PM on 11/07/2011
Why?
08:46 PM on 11/07/2011
To be gracious that's why. Lilbunnyfufu is exactly right. It's part of her role and she will continue to be put in many situations she would rather not be in. Unless there is a legitimate reason why she could not have tasted it, she should have. It reflects poorly on her and she was the only one who did not taste it. What an excuse that it may soil her coat when they were taking about a food to feed starving children.

Until I see a bump, I won't believe anything I read.

Very boring couple
08:08 PM on 11/10/2011
Yeah, they should tweet about everything they do, get drunk in public, have a reality show, get divorced, and otherwise do absolutely nothing good for humankind. Wouldn't that be a refreshing change?
03:26 PM on 11/16/2011
Oh yes, because hearing about a respectable couple that constanly gives back is so very boring...

There are some foods women shouldn't eat if they're TRYING to get pregnant. Don't know what might have been in the stuff Kate was offered, but perhaps this was the case here.
07:30 AM on 11/07/2011
Maybe the Duchess of Cambridge is a little like me - I think peanut butter is one of the foulest tasting foods invented by man, and I'd never taste it again. The Duchess is not an American child.

Why is everyone still calling her Middleton? I do not think she registered for keeping her birth name.

To those who think they don't deserve to be there, sure, these thoughts can come up when you experience hardship in your own life, hardship and death imposed by 'above', no, not god.

But ---- if you look at the influence from the Murdochs and the Windsors, I'll take the Windsors any day.

Let's see now.

She goes to an event where she's offered a taste of "something". She has no idea who made it ... or how it was made ... or where ... or what's in it.

Under those circumstances, I don't think that I'd be too keen to try it, either.
03:03 AM on 11/07/2011
That something is peanut paste, made with nutrients specifically tailored for starving children.

Kate would have known what it was, if she did proper research on UNICEF, or they (the royals) would have been briefed about the products they're packing in the boxes.

I don't think anyone would just give the peanut paste to the royals without telling them what it is and expect them to eat it. The other 3 royals didn't hesitate to taste it...
08:00 AM on 11/07/2011
Exactly and sometimes you have to just suck it up and taste a tad even if you have to hold your breath when swallowing if you want to look courteous, dedicated to your role and the cause and Royal in an effort to show goodwill and good breeding and adult like behavior.

I figure that, more than anything, Kate is wearing what Leonardo DiCaprio will be wearing in Clint Eastwood's upcoming movie about J. Edgar Hoover.

I am so sick of the attempt to shove this woman and her every move in my face. There is NOTHING better about these people than the poorest starving individual in this world and the worship of them is an insult to the rest of humanity.

The Greeks are about to go into servitude for GENERATIONS because their government trusted Goldman Saks to advise them on how to lie about the health of their economy. Italy and Spain are headed the down the same path.

England is a mess, the US is a mess, millions out of work and no longer eligible for benefits and you guys think some rich skinny woman who married into a family that have money because they literally murdered, kidnapped and enslaved half the planet to get it will make everyone happy.

It will be a good day when the British finally get fed up with it all and throw them out on their pampered behinds.
07:21 PM on 11/06/2011
Now that's telling it like it is. BRAVO!

So many want to forget how the Royal family got got so rich and how they killed and practically enslaved half the world.

The U.S has plenty to be shameful for, too, that's for sure but at least we threw out the monarchy long ago.

"...a family that have money because they literally murdered, kidnapped and enslaved half the planet..."

Let's see your evidence for this ....

Open any history book. Not difficult at.

for once Id like to see a celeb come out on their own time when they are good and ready to let the world know that they are expecting a baby. having a baby is very exciting news to be spreading and if the press is throwing it out there that they are expecting its taking the joy out of telling everyone for the mom. im pretty sure Jessica Simpson would have loved to tell everyone she was expecting rather than the press following her snapping pictures of her and telling her to fess up. if it was me Id have it out for the press for ruining a special moment in all expectant mothers lives.

But in the UK, pregnant women often DO drink Guinness, for the iron content.

I'm not allergic to peanuts, but I don't care for peanutbutter. Therefore, I don't eat it.

As for that garbage about avoiding eating anything peanut during pregnancy to keep the baby from becoming allergic is just that..garbage. Sheesh. Just shows you how rediculous doctors become lately!

Agreed. When I was pregnant, sometimes the only thing that sounded good was a peanut butter sandwich. My daughter has no allergies than we can detect. If anything, I would think exposure to peanut products would build up the baby's immune system.
