Speculation swirled in March that Middleton was pregnant with a girl after she had a slip-of-the-tongue at an appearance in Grimsby. The Duchess was heard almost saying "daughter" as she thanked a woman for a teddy bear gift.

"Thank you I will take that for my d…for my baby," Middleton reportedly told the woman according to witness, 67-year-old Grimsby resident, Sandra Cook.

"When she shook hands with me I said, 'You nearly slipped up there, you were going to say daughter, weren't you?'" Cook told The Sun. She said Middleton replied stating the couple didn’t yet know the sex of the baby and were not planning on revealing the gender.

"Harry has been telling everyone Wills and Kate are having a boy and how thrilled he is at the prospect of having a little nephew," a source told the Daily Mirror. "He said the whole family were excited about it. Apparently Kate has always wanted a boy."
