Kate Middleton Baby Bump & Pregnancy PHOTOS; Royal Baby Gender Revealed in Spoof Images before Due Date?
There has been much debate over the sex of Kate Middleton and Prince William's royal baby before the Dutchess gives birth in July , and new spoof photos released from Ladbrokes, an online betting website challenges the nation's most wanted answer: a boy or girl?
Prince William and Middleton have been reportedly getting their nursery in order and reportedly hired the perfect housekeeper, but the world still wants to know what the couple is expecting.
The spoof images released today suggest that the baby's gender continue to be a secret.
In one photo, look-a-likes of Middleton and the Queen are shown painting a nursery wall for the newborn, both dressed in denim dungarees. "Kate" is dressed in a red shirt and painting her part of the wall pink, which hints at speculation of a baby girl. The look-alike "Queen" is dressed in a blue shirt and paints her half blue-a boy color. Earlier in the week, reports indicated that Prince Harry, Middeton's brother-in-law told people that the Duchess was expecting a baby boy.
"They're really working hard on baby names now and think they have it sorted," a source said. "But they won't reveal anything to anyone - not even Harry. Of course, Harry's been making up crazy suggestions and winding them up too.
In another image, Kate's lookalike is spotted eating vanilla ice cream while her sister 'Pippa' reads from a Baby Names book.
And in a final image the royal baby shower consists of family members taking bets on the name of the unborn baby.

According to the Daily Mail, Ladbrokes spoofed the pictures using look-a-likes of the Duchess and her close family members to reveal what the Royal family might be doing months before the birth.
The publication wanted the images to reflect the fact what the nation has been predicting about the sex of the baby since Middleton's announced her pregnancy in December.
"The excitement is building but it looks like the Royal couple are going to keep us guessing until the birth. The money suggests they're expecting a girl called Elizabeth, but after Harry's recent gaffe punters are backing the baby to be a boy in their droves," Ladbrokes spokeswoman said.
