Guaranteed to be bigger international news than that of the second royal baby, if does indeed turn out to be accurate, is the seeming announcement that Beyoncé is pregnant again.

The source of the rumour?

Her husband, Jay Z, who, according to Radar Online, swapped out some of his lyrics during the Paris leg of the couple’s On The Run World Tour on Friday evening (12 September) to include the words “cause she pregnant with another one”.

He apparently made the change of dialogue midway through a rendition of the track “Beach Is Better”.

However, there was no report of any such reaction from Beyoncé, who makes up the other 50 per cent of the entire show and was on stage at the time.

A spokesperson for Beyoncé and Jay Z are also yet to confirm the reports.

The pair, who have been married for six years, are already parents to baby Blue Ivy, who was born in January 2012.

For her first pregnancy, Beyoncé chose to dramatically announce the news by ripping open her costume blazer and rubbing her stomach at the end of her performance of "Love On Top" at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
