Do you think William & Kate will have another child?

Seeing the pictures of Prince Louis at 4 made me wonder.
They have 3 beautiful children already I know but I really think they’ll have another.

What do you think?

I've been promoted to Coastguard. I like it smile

I have a feeling she will have another baby.

Kate didn't overeat and put on several stones while pregnant that's why she retained her normal weight after each birth.....she is an athlete after all!

FannyCornforth Sat 23-Apr-22 11:30:20

No. Definitely not.
They are too busy now with a much bigger work load.
Even if they wanted another child, they wouldn’t have one imo

I seriously doubt it somehow, but it's up to them. What lovely photos of Louis today.

i cannot see this happening
More future responsibilities for William once Charles becomes king mean more pressures on Kate .They started a family very quickly, wise people, following their marriage, which has ensured future security of the British monarchy.Either by king or queen.

Oh I hope not. But perhaps they could adopt a child. Maybe one from a refugee camp???

Davida1968 Sat 23-Apr-22 12:04:24

I agree with trisher. Well said!

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 23-Apr-22 12:09:37

I don't think so. There's this thing called the line of succession.

JaneJudge Sat 23-Apr-22 12:11:32

I don't know how they'll financially cope if they have another

JaneJudge grin
I wonder if they might foster a child or adopt a refugee.....
Do something which might inspire their followers to think beyond their own cosy world.

Why? The planet is over populated. Actually, the one time Kate looks properly healthy is when she is pregnant. She is far too thin. OTOH there may be some big changes coming sooner rather than later in the RF so Kate being out of the picture for a while would be difficult.

I’m sure such a move would attract a lot of positive publicity but in doubt they will. Adopted children, especially those who have experienced war or famine or other trauma have a lot of needs and I’m not sure a life in the limelight and the whole life style of the heir to the throne would provide the best environment for a traumatised child. I have no doubt if they did the child would be loved and receive the best care, but I don’t think it would be ideal.

I've heard another monarchy don't know which has given away few of their palaces grand home to house refugees

Can't see UK monarchy doing that or anything of benefit to people

Agree maddyone an adopted child would be hounded by the
media, all those cameras and a traumatised child, so cruel.

Jaberwok Sat 23-Apr-22 13:57:16

I agree with Annie. Meanwhile Happy Birthday Prince Louis.?

Bit like Harry &Meghan then?
But they could afford the very best therapy and counselling and all of it might be better than growing up in a camp (all that cold, starvation and insecurity)

Anniebach Sat 23-Apr-22 14:52:02

Not like Megan, she chose that life

Ninanana Sat 23-Apr-22 15:21:42

Not another entitled drag on the rations.

Calendargirl Sat 23-Apr-22 16:30:04

I would imagine they have completed their family.

Since H&M jumped ship, the Cambridges workload has increased.

And at 40, well, she’s got 3 lovely children…..

Hithere Sat 23-Apr-22 16:59:51

What's with people and the curiosity in the sexual life and reproductive status of couples?

Kim19 Sat 23-Apr-22 17:02:31

I certainly hope so.

Sparklefizz Sat 23-Apr-22 17:11:48

Beautiful photos of Prince Louis though. Kate takes some stunning photos of her children.

merlotgran Sat 23-Apr-22 18:36:52

This thread is a good natured chat/debate. I wonder what would happen if the same question was asked about Harry and Meghan?

I would take bets on the inevitable. Anyone care to start the thread?

Zoejory Sat 23-Apr-22 18:48:51

I can't see Kate and William having another baby. But obviously I have no idea.
