Kate Middleton candidly joked Prince William “worries” about her spending time with babies because it makes her want more of their own.
The Duchess of Cambridge met with parents and their young children Tuesday while on a solo royal tour of Denmark and revealed she sometimes considers having a fourth child.
“It makes me very broody,” Middleton, 40, admitted to researchers from the Copenhagen Infant Mental Health Project during a visit to the University of Copenhagen.
“William always worries about me meeting under-1-year-olds,” she continued. “I come home saying, ‘Let’s have another one.'”
The mother of Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3, is in the midst of her first solo work trip since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
