Royal watchers and fans may be disappointed to hear that the chances that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are unlikely to expand their family any further.
A source told The Express that now that the Duke of Edinburgh is retiring and the younger Royals will be taking on more duties, the chances that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have any more children are slim.
An aide explained that the Duchess has been modelling herself after Prince Philip in the way he supports The Queen with a source saying: “If you look at Kate’s approach you will notice that it is very much in support of William, first and foremost, but also about carving her own charitable path, as he has done with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and his long involvement with charities like the WWF.”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge already have two children, Prince George, 3, and Princess Charlotte, 2, yet that could be it. The source said: “I would be very surprised if they have a third child. They have got a boy and a girl – there is a sense that their family is now complete and they are moving onto the next chapter in their lives.”
With the Cambridge family making their move to Kensington Palace from Anmer Hall as Prince William finishes his work with the East Anglia Air Ambulance, it could not come at a more perfect time as Prince Philip is retiring.
A spokesman for Kensington Palace said: “Their Royal Highnesses are keen to continue to increase their official work on behalf of The Queen and for the charities and causes they support, which will require greater time spent in London.”
An aide told The Express: “It’s a sort of happy coincidence rather than something that has been done by design. The Duke of Edinburgh’s decision has been taken over recent months with the thinking having began in earnest at the turn of the year. With Prince George starting school in September and the Cambridges moving back to London, the timing feels right.”
Is it anybody’s business how many children they have?
I figured they were done. She has such horrible pregnancies.
Well children really are so bloody expensive these days, aren’t they?
There’s the nannies and governesses, formulae, diapers, etc.
And is there enough room for nurseries, playrooms, school rooms and on and on.
Who’s going to pay for it all?
And two have proved such a burden for the Duchess.
Actually, they have a nanny. They do not have a governess etc. The children attend a regular school. As for who pays for it all, Prince William has his own money her inherited from his mother and his father pays for some of the Cambridge’s expenses from the money he earns from his private estate, the Duchy of Cornwall. Prince William, his young family and Prince Harry DO NOT get paid by the state/tax payers.
There are however many state expenses associated with the upkeep of the Cambridges and Harry. I believe Prince Charles is exempted from the Monarch’s Estates (civil list) in return for a tax exemption for profits from the Duchy. In any event, you can bet your tea and scones the Wales and Cambridges are costing the working men and women of the UK plenty. The question is are those hard working men and women getting value for money.
Excuse me. I have to hold up a bridge somewhere or other. ???
THAT WOULD BE REALLY SAD, AS THE KIDS ARE SO LOVELY……
The Duchess has very difficult pregnancies and she is about 35 years old now. I don’t think they plan to have more children due to her health issues when she is pregnant. They have a son and a daughter and have a lot of work to do to support the Queen.
Ha ha she’s pregnant. Good for her
