　　Kate's biggest clue to the sex of her unborn child... she buys Bugaboo buggy in baby blue

　　It is possibly the most well-known colour code of them all – pink for agirl, blue for a boy。

　　So when the Duchess of Cambridge revealed she had bought a pram in lightblue, Royal watchers wondered excitedly if she had dropped the biggest clue yetto the sex of her unborn child。

　　Kate – who is six months pregnant – told guests at a recent reception thatshe had chosen a buggy by designer label Bugaboo, which has celebrity fansincluding actress Sienna Miller and television presenter Peaches Geldof。

　　The buggies, which cost from £500 to £1,000 and can operate as either apushchair or pram, come in a variety of colours and parents who do not know thesex of their baby usually prefer neutral hues such as beige, off-white orblack. 

　　The Duke and Duchess have insisted that they do not know if they arehaving a boy or a girl。

　　But although it is possible to swap some of the buggy’s accessories forthose in different colours, including pink, Kate’s choice of blue will be seenas a  clear hint as to her feelings about the gender。

　　She has said she would prefer a son while William wants a daughter。

　　Yesterday, Bugaboo said it had not presented the buggy to the Royal coupleafter being advised by officials not to send gifts。

　　So it appears that Kate, who was seen shopping for a Moses basket in South Kensington last week with her mother, bought thepram herself。

　　The Duchess, 31, revealed the Bugaboo colour when she chatted to a groupof Army wives at a drinks reception in Aldershoton St Patrick’s Day。

　　According to one source: ‘She and some of the other girls were talkingabout prams and one of the girls had her baby in a Bugaboo。

　　POLKA-DOTTY FOR HER DRESS

　　Her choices of dress have long spawned a rush to the shops – and thispretty polka dot outfit proved pregnancy has done nothing to dent the‘Kate-effect’。

　　Just an hour after the Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the Warner Brothersfilm studios in Hertfordshire on Friday, the Topshop dress, which costs just £20 in the sale, had sold out online。

　　Now it has emerged the skater dress was bought personally by the Duchessfrom Topshop in Oxford Circus last month。

　　It is understood she arrived unannounced and spent nearly an hour browsingwith her security staff, looking at the main range rather than maternityclothes。

　　'Kate said she has bought one in light blue. It was a bit of a hint.’

　　Guardsman Lee Wheeler, 29, who met Kate at the ceremony, said the Duchesswas happily discussing the Royal bump。

　　He said: ‘I asked her, “Do you know if it’s a girl or a boy?” and she said,“Not yet”。

　　She said, “I’d like to have a boy and William would like a girl。” I askedher if she had any names and she said no.’

　　Since then, however, the Royal couple have revealed they have a shortlistof boys’ and girls’ names。

　　Alexandra and Elizabeth are said to be favourites for a girl, with Georgein the running for a boy。

　　Last night a spokesman for the Duchess declined to comment。
