IS this the moment Kate dropped a massive hint that she and Wills would soon be adding to their growing brood just TWO months before announcing she is expecting a third child?
Back in July when the royal family were visiting Warsaw Kate, 35, joked to her husband "we'll just have to have more babies" after they were given a toy for a newborn.
The pair were travelling with their two children on a five day tour of Poland and Germany when Kate dropped the heavy hint - amid rumours she toasted with a glass of wine but did not sip from it.
Julia Sielicka-Jastrzebska, whose firm makes the toys, said the Duchess made the quip after learning the bear was designed to comfort babies by replicating the sound of the womb.
Julia said: “We gave the Duchess some presents for Prince George and Princess Charlotte. She said they should have more babies and they laughed.”
The Duke and Duchess were visiting The Heart, a centre promoting digital start-up businesses.
Now just a few months later Kensington Palace made the official announcement that the Duchess is expecting again.
William and Kate already have two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte - the newest addition is not expected to be born earlier than March 2018.
The statement from the palace said: "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announced that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child.
"The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.
"As with her previous pregnancies, The Duchess is suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum.
"Her Royal Highness will no longer carry out her planned engagement at the Hornsey Road Children's Centre in London today.

"The Duchess is being cared for at Kensington Palace."
After the announcement was made this morning, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were said to be happy with the news.
Prince Harry was asked how he was feeling to be an uncle again and he said: "Fantastic, great, very very happy for them."
He added he had not seen his sister-in-law for a while but that she was "ok".
During her second pregnancy her sickness was so bad the announcement was made before it was initially planned.
After she became too unwell to go to a planned engagement Kensington Palace was forced to release the news just 48 hours after the Queen and the Middleton family had been told.
It is not known how many weeks pregnant the Duchess is, or if she has reached the 12 week mark - it is understood that her morning sickness forced the announcement earlier.
