Rumors surrounding Kate Middleton and her alleged second pregnancy have been officially denied by the royal family. The news will be a set back to fans of the Royal Family who were looking forward to hearing about another little prince or princess.

According to reports, it was Jessica Hay, former friend of the Duchess of Cambridge, who initially spread the pregnancy rumors. The media immediately followed through by reporting this rumor since it was also Hay who spilled on the Duchess' first pregnancy with little Prince George.

However, the palace dismissed these allegations and said that Kate is no longer speaking with Hay, and that there would be no way the former friend could know anything new about Kate.

Meanwhile, the Duchess was seen shopping lightly at the Bicester Village over the weekend. Kate enjoyed a little bit of retail therapy as she went over to a couple of designer stores.

Fellow shoppers were very pleased to see Kate in person. The Duchess of Cambridge smiled and even talked to some of them. Other shoppers even announced on social media that they had an encounter with Kate.

"Chuffed to bits I met Kate Middleton today, had a little chat and she was lovely!" Leah Byrne wrote on her Twitter account.

Another user, Laura Isabella, posted, "Still quite over excited about exchanging smiles with Kate Middleton this morning."

She shopped at Ralph Lauren and was seen browsing over at Reiss before she bought PJs for Prince George.
