Kate Middleton's Baby: Boy or girl? Prince Harry might know

You can always count on Prince Harry to do what most royals would shy away from.

A good leak or a good peek (remember Vegas romp!).  So it's no surprise that when it comes to leaking the gender of brother William and Kate Middleton's soon-to be royal baby it's upon Harry to do so.

And guess what, Harry says it's a boy!

According to the UK Mirror's Sunday People, the younger bro has been so excited about becoming an uncle that he's been blabbing the gender of the baby to his friends.

An insider told the Sunday People newspaper: "Harry has been telling everyone Wills and Kate are having a boy and how thrilled he is at the prospect of having a little nephew.

"He said the whole family was excited about it. Apparently Kate has always wanted a boy ... The close inner circle all know that it's a boy and they're busily buying girls with a boy theme."

The source added: "They're really working hard on baby names now and think they have it sorted.

"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."

Is it so or is Harry trying to misguide the world paparazzi as bets on Royal baby gender take off?

The British royal couple is expecting their first child - due in July - and they are remaining tight-lipped about its gender.

Kate Middleton or Catherine has been pretty adept at playing the gender guessing game - she recently purchased a blue stroller, setting off a flood of speculation that the royal baby must be a boy.

And earlier in her pregnancy, a reported almost slip-of-the-tongue led many to believe she was having a girl.

While meeting hundreds of well-wishers Duchess Catherine slipped the word D for 'daughter'.

So let the guessing game continue.
