Prince William and Kate: 'Insider' claims they might announce a fourth baby by 'early next year'

Kate Middleton and Prince William are proud parents of three amazing children – Prince George (heir to the throne), Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. On many occasions previously, Kate has expressed her desire to have another baby and rumour has it that she may have convinced Prince Williamfor another little royal.

Baby number four on board

According to a source, Kate has always wanted to have four children but it was Prince William who decided to stop. In the recent past, she has admitted to her children growing up so fast and as Prince Louis also started school this year, she has an ‘empty’ feeling about not having little ones around during the day.

While that may be a natural feeling for anyone who’s a mother, an unnamed source told Us Weekly that the couple may be planning for baby number four soon. The insider said:

Kate has been talking about wanting another baby for a while now.

She has always wanted four children, and while William was originally happy with three, she has managed to twist his arm.

Although Prince William has been reluctant to the idea of having another in the past, it seems as though the future King has come around - or that's what the source is suggesting.

Newborn ideas

At an event in February, Kate admitted that she gets ‘very broody’ after meeting babies on royal engagements and said:

William always worries about me meeting under 1-year-olds.

I come home saying, ‘Let’s have another one.’

Meanwhile, the Prince also told a staff member – who joked about the couple expanding their family – during a hospital visit to ‘not give’ his wife ‘any more ideas.’ However, now the unnamed insider claims William has given in to Kate’s wish and added:

[Their pals] wouldn’t be surprised if we’ll be hearing an announcement early next year.

Guess we'll have to wait and see till next year if the source's claims are actually true.
