Kate Middleton: Is She Planning a Home Birth?!
Exciting times around Buckingham Palace these days.
We’re just two months away from the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – and that’s not the only way that the royal family is soon to get bigger by one.
Yes, Kate Middleton is pregnant with her third child, and while the exact due date remains a mystery, it’s expected that the Duchess of Cambridge will welcome her new addition in late April.
That means it’s time to once again obsess over Kate’s birth plan.
You’d think after two problem-free births, there would be little need for speculation about Kate’s preferred method of bringing a child into the world.
This time, however, there’s a twist.
There have been rumors that Kate is planning a home birth.
It’s anyone’s guess as to where those rumors originated, but for several weeks, the British tabloid press was convinced that the first sight Kate’s third child would lay eyes on would be the gilded halls of Kensington Palace.
Unfortunately, it seems that the royal issue will enter the world in much more peasant-y fashion.
Vanity Fair revealed today that Kate and Prince William are planning for another hospital birth:
“She has decided that she will be having the baby at the Lindo Wing. The room is all booked, the team are ready and everyone is just waiting for the baby to come,” an insider tells the magazine.
“They have had two very positive experiences at the Lindo Wing so it’s the No. 1 choice. She knows the team and she feels like she’s in very safe hands.”
Okay, so a private wing at one of the UK’s best hospitals is still a pretty baller way to enter the world, but it’s not quite the same as screaming your head off in a freakin’ castle, dudes with trumpets and parchment and whatnot all ready to announce your arrival.
As for how Kate is faring in the final weeks of pregnancy, it seems she’s maintaining a busy schedule.
In addition to putting in royal appearances right up until her due date, sources say Kate is planning Meghan’s bachelorette party.
Not bad for a woman once dismissed as one of the laziest royals in history.

Little People, Big World Couples (Sort Of) Clash, Awkwardness Ensures
Last Friday night should have been an occasion to celebrate for the Roloffs.
As documented on Instagram, family-member-to-be Isabel Rock was fortunate enough to have some of her work included in an art show, which prompted nearly the entire Roloff clan to stop by Abbey Creek Vineyard & Winery in Portland in a show of support.
But this was the entire problem:
Nearly the entire Roloff clan stopped by Abbey Creek Vineyard & Winery in Portland in a show of support.
Those in attendance included Isabel’s fiance, of course, Jacob, along with the relatives from whom he is no longer estranged.
Audrey Roloff was on hand. So was Tori Roloff. And so were Amy Roloff and Matt Roloff, the anchors of TLC’s Little People, Big World who got divorced in May of 2016.
Both Amy and Matt have moved on to new significant others and they get along pretty well on camera.
However, Amy made it pretty clear last season that she doesn’t want her boyfriend, Chris Marek, to ever have to mingle with Matt’s girlfriend, Caryn Chandler.
It would just be very awkward, you know?
But this unwanted situation couldn’t be avoided over the weekend, as you can see in the photos above and below.
Way up top is a picture of Matt, Caryn, Jacob and Isabel.
Immediately above is a picture of Amy, Chris, Jacob and Isabel.
Sources say the couples didn’t really interact much, keeping their distance from each other for most of the night.
But have you ever been to an art gallery?
It’s not typically a very large space, meaning there must have been at least a few instances in which small talk had to be exchanged.
Which is a shame, really, because this evening really should have been all about Rock. Her dad even stopped by!
“I am just so abundantly grateful for the opportunities that art has given me,” Rock wrote on Instagram, adding:
“Also the outpouring of love and support from my friends and family. This feels right. I am exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
While Amy and Matt have always said the right things about each other in public, there have been Internet rumblings that tension does exist, largely because Chandler knows Amy pretty well and has for awhile.
She met Matt because she formerly worked as a manager at the family farm.
Back in October, Chandler hosted a party for her boyfriend and allegedly snubbed Amy, causing a near-riot among fans online.
So, again, we can only imagine how awkward things were late last week when everyone came together.
Fortunately, it does seem as though all Roloffs absolutely adore Isabel, who confirmed her engagement to Jacob in January.
She fits right in with the family and we’d have to assume most members put aside any differences in order to celebrate this pretty cool milestone with her.
At least we hope that was the case.
