Ah the twins are denied then, I was hoping and thought for sometime that she would be expecting twins but I guess I am wrong.
Thanks for the articles.
Haha, I agree.It's rude to ask her if she is having twins.
That's because it's triplets!!!!
See how these rumors start....
I agree 100% this how normal women look. This whole twin thing is just crazy as you say just because she's not model thin doesn't mean twins !! It means she's having a healthy normal pregnancy

When was it announced that Charlene was carrying twins ? I don't follow the princely family of Monaco, but, if I am not mistaken, it wasn't until late in her pregnancy.
I'm just saying that, if Victoria is pregnant with twins, it is not a given that the Royal Court would already have made that information public by now.
There is no "normal". Some women look like Victoria when pregnant, some like Sofia, some like Madeleine, some like Catherine, and so on...
You can't criticize people for commenting on Victoria's shape, then go on and put her on a pedestal and say she's how "normal" pregnant women look when having a "healthy" pregnancy. If a women stays "model thin" during her pregnancy, it doesn't mean she's having an abnormal and unhealthy pregnancy. You're generalizing just like the posters you're frustrated with.
I agree with Mbruno that people were presuming twins because of the IVF assumption. I think it was also a matter of wishful thinking, they want Victoria to have a medium/large family and they're worried she won't be able to get pregnant again. Yeah, the posts are annoying but they come from a place of hope.
I'm laughing sooo hard at the answer about the hamster!!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if they had come up with hamster-joke a long tme ago, preparing themselves to the kind of question that those journalists might ask. Such a question was bound to come up at some point.
I agree, it was a diplomatic answer! And I wonder if we will soon hear that that she got a hamster for Christmas? Luckily there is something like peaceful co-existence between hamsters and babies.
That's because it's triplets!!!!

In this case it was a super-diplomatic answer.
Imagine the headline: Estelle would have preferred a baby **** (brother/sister) and the opposite sex finally was born, then the headline may have been:
"Estelle is unhappy about sex of sibling"
Dear Royal.Night, In my humble opinion it is rude to ask a woman such a personal question. This is also a person who is the public eye but that does not make her public property, in my humble opinion.It's rude to ask her if she is having twins.

Yes, it is very rude. I had complete strangers asking me if I was carrying twins with my second daughter.
Some people are overly sensitive, are unfriendly, and have absolutely no sense of humor. You obviously took those comments way too seriously. Hopefully one day you will learn not to be so nitpicky and be more forgiving.
Dear NotHRH,
I am a very non-nitpicky and very forgiving person, I assure you. And from friends and people I know, I would indeed react exactly as you suggest. It is just the unasked and without any introductory (is that a word?) words like "congratulations", from complete strangers, that bothered me.
I think that Europeans are rather more formal in their speech, especially to strangers, than are Americans, particularly people from the American South. (I grew up in Louisiana.)

I thought the Royal Court stated that she'll be giving birth at the same hospital where Princess Estelle was bornSvensk Damtidning claims on it's cover that Victoria gives birth at home at Haga.
