KATE WANTS A FOURTH CHILD UNLIKE WILLIAM

Kate and William are parents to three adorable children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. But Kate has expressed that she sometimes feels broody for a fourth baby, especially when she’s around other children.

One of Kate’s biggest causes in her royal duties is early childhood development, which means she is constantly around little children.

Kate also admitted that William wouldn’t be too happy if she fell pregnant with a fourth child.

During a solo royal tour of Denmark, Kate met with parents and their babies during a visit to the University of Copenhagen. While there, she said:

"It makes me very broody," Kate shared. "William always worries about me meeting under one-year-olds. I come home saying, 'Let's have another one.' "

But William doesn’t share Kate’s musings. During the couple’s visit to St. John's Primary School in Scotland. Here, young children were being taught about empathy by observing an infant.

The learners lovingly nicknamed the infant "tiny teacher Saul." While the couple was at the school, William jokingly said, "Can you get my wife out of here before she gets broody?"

On another visit to Lancashire, the couple took photos with a family and Kate held their youngest daughter, Anastasia. This prompted the crowd to coo and William jokingly told them, "Don't give my wife any more ideas!"

Kate also expressed concern that the medical challenges she faced during her pregnancy left William concerned about her health.

When she handed Anastasia back to her parents, William also bantered, "Don't take her with you."

Kate also admitted that William wouldn’t be too happy if she fell pregnant with a fourth child. "I don’t think William wants any more…I think William would kill me if we had another one,” Kate said.

KATE HAD TOUGH PREGNANCIES AND WAS WARNED NOT TO HAVE A THIRD CHILD

Early during her motherhood journey, Kate was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, a debilitating pregnancy complication causing severe nausea, vomiting, and often weight loss and dehydration. This condition caused Kate to be hospitalized during all three of her pregnancies.

Kate also expressed concern that the medical challenges she faced during her pregnancy left William concerned about her health. She reflected on the times she was hospitalized:

"William didn't feel he could do much to help. It's hard for everyone to see you suffering without actually being able to do anything about it."

Even private organizations weighed in on Kate and William expanding their family. Executive Director President of the organization, “Having Kids,” Anne Green Carter wrote an open letter to the couple while they had two children.

“Your discussion of having a larger family raises compelling issues of sustainability and equity…Large families are not sustainable,” Anne said in the letter. Only two months after Anne released the letter, Kate and William announced that they were expecting their third child, Louis.

Nick also pointed out that Kate’s increasing royal duties from the Queen leave her and William busy. Nick added that the couple was eager to focus on their work, leaving little time for a fourth child.

With three children, Kate realized her dream of emulating the family she grew up in. “True Royal” founder, Nick Bullen weighed in on William Kate’s family and said that it was unlikely that they would have a fourth child:

"Kate was always very keen to follow her parents and have that family of five. She's matched it and my own view is [that] they probably will stop here.”

Kate’s parents, Michael, and Carole Middleton had three children and Kate wanted to emulate that in her own marriage. “I think they feel they got a pretty perfect family,” Nick added.

Nick also pointed out that Kate’s increasing royal duties leave her and William busy. Nick added that the couple was eager to focus on their work, leaving little time for a fourth child.

Eager followers of the royal family hoped that William and Kate would bring a fourth baby into the world. While the couple was in Northern Ireland for a visit, a person called out to Kate, “Number four?” and Kate promptly replied, “I think William would be a little worried!”

It remains unclear if Kate and William will ever have a fourth child, but the truth is, their family of five is adorable and will wow followers for years to come.
