Prince William and Kate seemed to quash rumours that the couple were expecting a second royal baby when they visited a winery in Queenstown, New Zealand.

All eyes were on the Duchess of Cambridge as she arrived at the Amisfield vineyard on Sunday, with royal watchers keen to note whether Kate would drink a glass and participate in the wine-tasting activity.

Kate showed no signs that she was pregnant again as she sampled “six or seven” tastes of New Zealand wine, including a few tipples of Aurum Pinot Gris and Remarkable Dry Riesling.

The Duchess, 32, admitted that she “was really enjoying being able to drink again after having baby George” last July, who is now third-in-line to the throne.
