Is Katey Duggar from ‘Counting On’ Considered ‘Duggar Royalty’?

Counting On alum Katey Duggar is relishing life as she anticipates the arrival of her twin girls. She and her husband, Jed, surprised many, including family patriarchs Jim Bob and Michelle with their twin news. Fans on Reddit have even started referring to Katey as “Duggar royalty.” Let’s explore why.

Katey often shares snippets of her life on social media. Recently, the Counting On star promoted a favorite family thrift store. Last month, she celebrated her 26th birthday. Jed commemorated the occasion by posting a heartfelt Instagram message highlighting Katey’s strength, kindness, and daily love for their family. Jed also expressed his excitement about their expanding family, particularly their upcoming twin girls.

“You are my rock, my confidant, and my greatest blessing. I love every moment we share, and I look forward to creating many more beautiful memories together,” Jed wrote. Though Katey’s primary income source is unclear beyond her social media influencer role, Jed is a licensed real estate agent, commercial pilot, and certified flight instructor.

Fans discussing Katey on Reddit speculate that she might have earned the title of “Duggar royalty.” They believe that having twins could be particularly special to Jim Bob. Some even thought that other Duggar moms, especially Anna, might be jealous of Katey’s current status. Anna was previously seen as “Duggar royalty” before her husband faced imprisonment.

  • “She’s Duggar ‘royalty’ because she’s what Anna no longer is. The favored DIL of the now-favorite son.”
  • “Considering the other girls would always talk about ‘what if it’s twins’ whenever they were early in pregnancy, I could see one or two of them being jealous that it didn’t happen to them. Or upset they weren’t the first to produce twin Duggar grandchildren.”
  • “Katey’s only ‘Duggar royalty’ because she is the wife of the new golden boy, Jed! Prime. I know that Anna is deep down seething that she’s no longer part of that royalty and that she didn’t get to be the first to produce twin Duggar grandchildren as well as can’t get pregnant anymore.”
  • “Yes this fulfills the TTH prophecy. Jed! is now the new, formal heir and the future Lord Duggar.”

This month, Katey shared a sweet photo of her kids, Truett and Nora, strolling through town. “Evening walk with these cuties,” she captioned. Many noticed that the kids appeared almost the same size, with some predicting that others might mistake them for twins before the actual twins arrive.

  • “Wow, they look so close in age people will think you have 2 sets of twins.”
  • “Those babies have the most beautiful eyes!”

Katey has not disclosed her exact due date. Nonetheless, there are speculations that she might welcome her twin daughters early next year.
