Kate Middleton squashes pregnancy rumors

Kate Middleton stomped rumors of a pregnancy like vintage grapes Sunday as she tossed back glasses of wine while touring a New Zealand vineyard with her hubby, Prince William.

Speculation that another royal was on the way began earlier on the trip when a woman handed the prince a handmade baby shawl and he said, “You might have to make another one soon.”

But the Duchess of Cambridge, 32, indicated otherwise Sunday by telling workers at the Amisfield Winery in Queenstown that she “was really enjoying being able to drink again after having baby George.”

The royal couple furthered the point by hopping on a jet boat for a high-adrenaline tour of the raging Shotover River that would have been far too jarring for a pregnant woman.

“When they said it was fast, I didn’t realize it was quite that fast!” Wills said.

The couple is in the middle of a three-week tour of New Zealand.
