Kate Middleton and Prince William have been embroiled in divorce rumors for quite some time and now it is being said that they are on the verge of separation. What is shocking is that the divorce might come through despite Kate's third pregnancy.

Kate Middleton is said to be pregnant and the arrival of the third baby might be confirmed during the holidays, reports Game & Guide. Though Kensington Palace is yet to make an announcement, the buzz about the third pregnancy is high. The recent cancellations of a number of royal appointments by the Duchess have given steam to the speculations and many believe that she is doing so in order to hide her baby bump.

This is definitely good news for fans of the royal couple but what may take them by surprise are the stories about their imminent divorce. It is rumored that they are headed for a separation as things are not alright between the two. Notably, various theories about their supposed divorce have been doing the rounds for some time.

At one point, it was said that Queen Elizabeth is upset with Kate for avoiding her royal engagements and is looking to get rid of her. Sometime later, it came out that Prince Harry's girlfriend Meghan Markle has driven a wedge between the royal couple as Prince William is supportive of his brother's love life. Even Pippa Middleton was rumored to be the reason for their separation as she was insecure about Kate's third pregnancy stealing the limelight from her upcoming marriage.

Well, whatever the reason, fans would never want a repeat of what happened between Prince Charles and Princess Diana. However, it is said that Queen Elizabeth would advise her grandson to adopt the divorce route, the same way that she did in the case of her son. Sounds scary but all hope is not lost, not after the recent appearance of Kate with William in the famous tiara of princess Diana at the annual diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace on Thursday, reports People.

Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Camilla were also present at the occasion along with Kate Middleton and Prince William and they seemed every bit like the pretty picture of a happy family.
