Speculation Grows After Princess of Wales’ Recent Interactions with Children
Princess Catherine has sparked fresh speculation about a possible fourth child
with Prince William following the recent addition to the royal family.
With the birth of Princess Beatrice’s daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose, royal
fans are eager to know whether the Princess of Wales is considering expanding
her own family. Catherine’s recent interactions with children during her visit
to a Welsh hospice have only fueled curiosity.
Body language expert Judi James, speaking to the Daily Mail, noted that
Catherine’s immersive demeanor and warm approach created an instant connection
with the children and their parents.
“She crouches down as low as possible to meet eye-to-eye with the smallest
children, and her open-mouthed expressions are clearly aimed at making them
smile,” James observed.
However, past remarks from both Catherine and William suggest that a fourth
child is unlikely. In 2023, the Princess hinted that she and William were
content with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and
Prince Louis.
During a visit to The Baby Bank, Catherine shared a lighthearted exchange with
Co-CEO Rebecca Mistry while looking at infant clothing. When Mistry commented
that baby fever often strikes when seeing tiny outfits, Catherine laughed and
replied, “I’ve been there and done that.”
Prince William has also made his stance clear. At Clitheroe Community Hospital
in Lancashire, he jokingly warned staff, “Don’t give my wife any more ideas!”
and playfully told Catherine, after she returned a baby girl to her parents,
“Don’t take her with you.”
During a 2020 royal engagement in Yorkshire, Catherine even admitted to a
well-wisher, “I don’t think William wants any more.”
While the Princess of Wales’ affection for children remains evident, all signs
point to William and Catherine being perfectly content as a family of five.
