Will and Kate re-ignited baby chatter when they held a newborn, Hugo Eric Scott Vicary, who was dressed in a Superman romper suit, at an official event recently.

Shots of William cradling the infant and gazing lovingly into its eyes did little to dampen constant speculation that Kate may be with child, despite the fact that William was quick to respond with a, '€˜No,'€™ when asked, '€˜Are you practicing?€™ by a bystander.

In fact, a few seconds after the impertinent question was asked, William handed the child back to its parents.
