‘I’d like to have a boy,’ Kate reveals

The Duchess of Cambridge told a soldier she would like her baby to be a boy when she attended a St Patrick’s Day parade at a military barracks yesterday.

But Kate, who is five months pregnant, said that the duke, who attended the event with her, would prefer to have a girl.

Ahead of watching the parade at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, Hampshire, the duchess suffered an embarrassing mishap when the heel of one of her shoes became stuck in a drain.
