Top Stories That Buzz This Year

 
Kate Middleton Is Pregnant!
Even before Kate Middleton, 30, accepted her college sweetheart Prince William’s marriage proposal in October 2010, erroneous rumors started that she had a royal bun in the oven. But it wasn’t until over a year and a half after their April 2011 fairy-tale wedding that they announced they were in the family way. Their December baby news quickly swept the Internet and instantly ignited speculation about what they will name their heir, which parent the baby will most resemble, and, of course, how fashion icon Kate would soon revolutionize drab maternity clothing. However, despite the couple’s joy, the duchess has had a more pressing matter on her mind – a lingering bout of acute morning sickness, which caused her to be briefly hospitalized. But she’s since stepped out – likely with saltines and ginger ale at the ready – and there’s no doubt that she exhibits that special mom-to-be glow.
