If anyone has noticed, Her Royal Highness, Princess Hermione's signature small purple bag has been replaced by larger and larger hand bags. The purple bag was no where to be seen at the press conference she gave last week. And where was it when she watched the soccer game on Friday? No where to be seen! Instead, she had a large teal bag that effectively hid her body from sight. What is she hiding? The reigning theory is her and Prince Severus' baby bump! The palace officially has had little to say about the rumor that Princess Hermione is expecting.
The Princess and her husband have refused to speak with me about the matter. They have even gone as far as to have me forcibly removed from the premise. I, however, have learned that Princess Hermione has been looking at cribs online. Now, this might just be a gift for someone, but it leads one to believe that we might be welcoming a royal baby in the next six months!
I interviewed several people close to her. Mister Harry Potter provided no comment, but his wife, Mrs. Generva Potter seemed agitated by my questions. Is it possible she's covering for the princess, or herself. The Potters were married just three months ago! And everyone knows first babies do sometimes come early.
My sources inside St. Mungo's have confirmed that Princess Hermione did have an appointment last Tuesday, although no one will confirm which department she visited. Several healers did decline to be interviewed siting patient privacy laws, but one hero of a man, who asked to remain anonymous, did inform me that she was seen visiting the maternity wing!
When will the new royal baby arrive, what will his or her name be, and who will Princess Hermione and Prince Severus give the exclusive first interview to? Keep reading my column to find out! I will stay on this story because you all have the right to know everything happening in side the royal palace.
