Report claims the Duchess is trying to avoid going out as much as possible

Worrying reports about the Duchess of Cambridge are being floated around by tabloids, as the royal is still recovering from her latest clothing snafu that has caused her posterior to be plastered all over the Internet, bringing significant embarrassment to the British royal family.

Life & Style claims that Kate is now going through a crisis, and it has nothing to do with her photo scandal but with the fact that she's dropping weight at an alarming rate, looking thinner with every passing day.

The cause for her weight loss is not some miracle cure or a Spartan fitness regime but the fact that she's pregnant. Normally, women start putting on weight once they are with child, but the tabloid swears that Kate is having a side-effect from the pregnancy and this is causing her lose “a shocking amount of weight.”

A source reveals that Kate “is tired by the end of the day, she collapses on her bed. She is way beyond exhausted – it's a particularly worrying time for William. He is very concerned.”

It is true that Kate's first pregnancy with Prince George wasn't the easiest walk in the park. You might remember that the Duchess was revealed to suffer from extreme morning sickness during her 2012 pregnancy, so it wouldn't be too far-fetched to consider that this new pregnancy also has some extreme symptoms.

However, a new child in the royal household should be great news, and surely that the British Crown would jump at the occasion of announcing another baby. Since that hasn't happened, it's a little weird that Kate is reported pregnant.

But it is certainly not the first time. Since the year began, Middleton has allegedly been pregnant with her second baby about three times, and none of those rumors turned out to be true. Chances are pretty high that this time too it's just another made up report, playing off the fact that the Duchess is indeed looking thinner these days.

But that could be due to the increasing strain of having to balance motherhood with her Royal duties. Just yesterday she was spotted out for the first time since the photo scandal and she appeared to be in good spirits when she visited a school in Scotland.

It's at this point that we should be noting Prince William and Kate Middleton went to a whisky distillery after their school visit and both of them sampled some alcoholic beverages. Surely if Kate was pregnant she wouldn't have been sipping on hard liquor.
