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.
