The gift that launched a thousand stories: Diana Burton gave the Duchess of Cambridge a teddy on Tuesday
Speculation that the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William are expecting a girl went into overdrive this week when on a trip to Grimsby, she was said to have began to say the word daughter. But now new footage of the exchange when Kate was handed a teddy has come to light in which the mum-to-be does not start to say the d word.
The latest video, which you can view below, was captured by Lisa Hewson, 32, of Healing, who was also in the crowd outside the Heritage Fishing Centre when the pregnant Duchess visited on Tuesday. On Lisa’s footage, Kate is heard to say, ‘is this for us, awww, thank you so much, it’s very sweet of you’ when given the soft toy ‘for the baby’ by wellwisher Diana Burton.
Grimsby resident Sandra Cook, 67, who was standing nearby at the time thought the Duchess had said ‘is this for our dau…?’ before stopping abruptly.
She then asked Kate when she reached her along the line: ‘Did you say my daughter?’ In light of the new footage, it’s no wonder the Duchess looked so confused at Mrs Cook’s question before raising an eyebrow and wagging her finger to deny she knows whether she’s expecting a girl.
