Duchess Catherine, has reportedly revealed to close friends that she can’t wait to have another baby and that she won’t stop there.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 32, and Prince William, 32, have nearly completed renovations at their new country home in Norfolk, as well as their apartment at Kensington Palace and are just looking to settle down and extend their brood.
An insider source of The Express said: “Kate has been talking about having at least three children, which is why she is keen to be pregnant again.
“The Duke would probably be happy with two but Kate is very close to her brother and sister and there is a sense that as she is one of three, she would like to have three herself.”

The royal couple have spent approximately AUD $2.5 million of their own money on renovations at Anmer Hall – the Georgian mansion on the Sandringham estate given to them by the Queen. It was originally intended as a country getaway location but the pair now plan to base themselves there for the “next couple of years” due to the extra seclusion and privacy that the location brings compared to their London apartment in Kensington Palace.
The couple seem very keen to settle down there and raise a family. With no paparazzi waiting by the front door, “It’s the perfect place to bring up a young family,” said the source.
After recent security concerns at Kensington Palace, it is also thought that Kate would prefer to base Prince George and any future children, somewhere safer.

Kensington Palace have also confirmed that Prince William is taking up a role with the East Anglian Air Ambulance early next year after five months of training which will be based at either Norwich or Cambridge Airport. It is believed that he could easily base himself at their Norfolk home for the job as it would be just as close to work from there as from the London apartment.
In July, it was reported that British bookmakers Ladbrokes had suspended betting on the likelihood of a second royal baby as it was believed that an official announcement was imminent.
