The Sunday Pictorial has become the first London newspaper to "come out with a flat statement that rumors" about Princess Elizabeth is expecting her second child are true, according to the Associated Press.
The Princess is in Malta visiting her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. Her lady-in-waiting lady Alice Egerton offered a "no comment" on the pregnancy reports. The princess flew to Malta on March 28. Her husband is on active duty with the Royal Navy's Mediterranean fleet.
Buckingham Palace "had declined repeatedly to confirm or deny" Princess Elizabeth's pregnancy.
The couple's only child, Prince Charles, is 17 months old.
