Prince Harry Slips: Kate Middleton is having a BOY
After almost over 30 years that an heir has been born to the British Monarchy, Prince Harry might have felt too much excited that he kept telling people that Kate is having a boy.
Prince Harry is just so happy to be having a nephew that he cannot keep the good news to himself. Rumor has it that Prince Harry was also spotted holding a teddy bear as he arrives to Keningston Palace where he lives with both Kate and Prince William.
He said that the bear was given to him as a gift from a little girl while he was traveling in Nottingham. He said that the girl asked him to give the teddy to the baby and Prince Harry saw to it that he gives it personally.
Although the couple has not made any official announcement just yet, Prince Harry is already expressing the family's excitement about Kate and Prince William's first-born. It was reported earlier that Kate too had been praying for a baby boy.
Looks like, Prince Harry is not alone in telling people about the sex of the baby. Apparently, Princess Eugenie, have been caught a few times telling friends that the baby is going to be a boy.
According to the grapevine, Kate too was guilty of slip that happened a few months back when a well-wisher gave her a teddy and she was early to cut herself in saying that "I will take that for my d..." An eavesdropper had an outburst saying "You were going to say daughter, weren't you?" to which Kate replied "No, we don't know." But just within few days after the incident, Kate confused those who believed that they are going to have a daughter when she bought a light blue Bugaboo pram which has speculations shifting towards them having a son.
But, a royal insider source, from Sunday People said "They won't reveal anything to anyone - not even Harry. Of course, Harry is making up crazy suggestions and winding them up too." One source supported this, "Even though there's a lot of gossip doing the rounds, there's no way anyone can confirm it the moment." Another source on one hand contradicts, "The closer inner circle all know that it's a boy and they're busily buying gifts with a boy theme. There will be an awful lot of blue in their house."
There are 18 heirs next in line to Prince William (Charles at first), Prince Harry included. According to hierarchy, heirs next to Prince Harry will be:
Prince Andres the Duke of York
Princess Beatrice of York
Prince Edward the Earl of Wessex

According to common law, succession to the throne passes first to the sons in order of birth. If Kate and Prince's William's child due in mid-July is a boy, then this hierarchy will move one notch down in favor of their son.
