'Having four children was always part of Kate’s plan'—is baby number four on the way for the Cambridge family?
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge could grow their family
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are already proud parents to three young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, but it’s now been claimed that they are planning on growing their family.
- A source has claimed that having four children was “always part” of Duchess Catherine’s “plan”.
- They have suggested that her desire for another child “inspired” Prince William.
- In other Royal News, the significance behind Duchess Catherine's stunning (and affordable!) Astley Clarke necklace has been revealed.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are devoted parents to their children, with recent reports suggesting that Duchess Catherine and Princess Charlotte have a unique hobby. But whilst they have been continuing to carry out significant royal duties throughout the pandemic via video call, it seems that family matters have also not been far from their minds.
The Royal Family has recently welcomed a new arrival as Princess Eugenie gave birth to an adorable baby son on Tuesday. With Prince William’s cousin Zara Tindall and Duchess Catherine’s sister Pippa Middleton both pregnant, this year will see the Cambridges’ family grow. And it's been suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge might just be considering bringing a new little royal into the world themselves…

“She put the idea on hold when [the pandemic] hit, but now there is light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine and [Prince George and Princess Charlotte] scheduled to return to school in April. She feels ready to start trying again,” the source claimed.
“It took a while for Kate to convince William, though,” the insider told Us Weekly. “He said that three children is more than enough. The thought of having four made him feel overwhelmed”.
