You don't mean to say you fell for this "royal baby" hoax?

The woman in the alleged photo above is alleged to be a certain "Duchess of Cambridge," aka "Princess Kate," who is alleged to have given birth to a royal prince just 89 days before this photo was allegedly snapped. As gazillions of women all over the world will tell you, "No way, José."

Next they'll be telling us that men have walked on the moon. And Hillary Clinton didn't have all those people murdered.

Naturally the alleged British press is all over the alleged story.

For all those who were wondering whether Kate has snapped back into shape following the birth of Prince George, there was a definitive answer yesterday.

There can’t be many photocalls which offer a chance of glimpsing the Duchess of Cambridge’s midriff.

But in one volleyball shot, the royal tummy was fully on display in all its svelte glory.

As mothers marvelled at Kate’s lithe figure -- 89 days since the birth of George -- there was widespread speculation at how she did it.

It is understood the Duchess got back her trim figure through long walks with her dog, Lupo, and the odd burst on a rowing machine. She also took part in ante-natal yoga classes, which are believed to help new mothers regain their figure afterwards by ‘training’ their muscles to snap back into shape.

Admittedly they weren't the most suitable footwear.

Still, the Duchess of Cambridge didn't let a pair of towering wedges put her off trying her hand at a game of volleyball today.

Dressed in a pair of skintight 'jeggings' by J Brand, a Ralph Lauren breton-style top, a one-button blazer by Smythe, £695 diamond earrings by Kiki McDonough and, of course, those Stuart Weitzman for Russell and Bromley ‘corkswoon’ wedges, Kate gamely stood at the net and slammed back a few decidedly passable shots.

That said, the sporty Duchess missed what one onlooker described an 'absolute sitter', as she wasn't able to jump up high enough in the five inch heels.

Kate was taking part in a sports workshop at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London run  by SportsAid, a charity which supports young athletes at the start of their careers.

The Duchess became patron of the organisation last year and was, said aides, keen to meet the athletes it was helping face-to-face and get a 'detailed insight into the challenges they face'.

It was Kate's first solo public engagement since the birth of her baby son Prince George.

It is believed that she left her three-month-old son at home in Kensington Palace with her husband, Prince William.

On her arrival she was greeted by Tim Lawler, chief executive of SportsAid, who then introduced her to a selection of its trustees.

Then it was straight down into the Copper Box arena where she began by chatting to a group of young badminton players with whom she had been expected to have a game.

Disappointingly she declined, but told them she had tried her hand at the sport before.

Eliza Cottingham, 17, said: 'We had been told she would have a game with us, but she didn't. She said she had played before as she wanted to try and see whether it was like tennis, but she said she found it much harder.'

At the wheelchair volleyball the Duchess chatted at length with Ade Adepitan MBE, himself a bronze medallist the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games.

The sportsman said: 'She was very keen to learn more about the difference SportsAid meant to these young players and asked whether we had any more players coming through as a result of last year's games. I told her we had more than ever before, it's been remarkable.

'It's a shame she didn't join us as its one of the few sports that able bodied and disabled can play together. I think she'd be great -- she's got the height and is very naturally athletic. But she said she had only ever played netball at school.'

Note that the alleged mum of the alleged prince has left the alleged three-month-old baby at her alleged home with its alleged father, so she could play volleyball. Right!
