The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting to give birth to a boy in July, according to latest rumors making its way across the internet.

Prince Harry has reportedly been telling people that he is expecting a nephew. A source told The Sunday People: "Harry has been telling everyone Wills and Kate are having a boy and how thrilled he is at the prospect of having a little nephew." The source continued: "He said the whole family were excited about it. Apparently Kate has always wanted a boy."

It was previously thought that Prince William and Kate Middleton would be expecting a baby girl, after Kate said something during a public visit.

Since then, media has speculated that the pair is expecting a little princess.

The royal couple announced their pregnancy in December, after Middleton was hospitalized with acute morning sickness.

"The Duchess was admitted this afternoon to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with Hyperemesis Gravidarum.

"Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter."

The 31-year-old was treated for Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness which leads to nausea and vomiting.
