Back in February, the Duchess,
40, admitted she felt “broody” as she chatted with parents
and their babies at Copenhagen’s Children’s Museum and joked that
husband William, 39, worries about her working with under-one-year-olds
because she returns home wanting “another one”.
Kate gets to interact with
lots of babies and children in her day-to-day royal engagements, particularly
as one of her biggest focuses is the early years. The Duchess launched her
Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood in June last year, which looks at
the impact of the first five years of life on later adulthood.
Despite the Duchess’
confessions, William has appeared to rule out baby number four. When the Cambridges
visited Lancashire earlier this year, the Duke made a cheeky joke as
wife Kate found herself holding a three-and-a-half-month-old baby girl.

During a visit to Church on
the Street in Burnley, the Duchess cooed at Anastasia Barrie while standing
beside her parents Trudi, a volunteer, and Alastair Barrie, who is on the
centre’s committee.
William, looking at his wife
gazing at the baby, said: “Don’t give her any ideas,” to
laughter. “You can’t take her with you,” he told Kate,
smiling.
