Prince William and Princess Kate, busy with royal duties, have traveled widely and often work weekends. Since the birth of their first child, Prince George, their perspective on life has shifted. Now parents of three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—they are raising them in a modern way, in line with the monarchy’s shift toward modernization.
All three children will attend King Charles’ coronation on May 6. Prince Louis, the youngest, recently celebrated his fifth birthday, leading to speculation about the possibility of a fourth child. Kate recently visited a baby bank in Maidenhead, where she discussed this with staff, hinting at their thoughts on expanding their family.
Despite their busy schedules, including preparations for the coronation, rumors surrounding Harry and Meghan’s participation have added some turmoil to recent months. William and Kate’s relationship with the Sussexes remains strained, with the Princess of Wales reportedly taking a firm stance.
Kate Middleton “prevented” Meghan from attending coronation, expert claims
Royal expert Tom Bower claims Kate Middleton played a key role in preventing Meghan Markle from attending King Charles’ coronation. Bower stated that Kate didn’t want Meghan there “under any circumstances” and even warned her that if she did attend, she would have to “sit in the back.”
Despite King Charles officially inviting both Harry and Meghan, Harry will attend alone while Meghan stays in the US with their children. According to a source, Meghan chose not to attend because it felt “inauthentic” after everything that has transpired within the family.
A royal source told Page Six that Meghan decided against attending the coronation as she felt it would be “inauthentic.”
“They had to make a decision that felt genuine and authentic, especially after everything that has been said and all the things that have gone down,” an insider familiar with the family said.
Details of Kate’s coronation clothes come to light
Details about King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation are being revealed, with Prince George set to play a key role. Although specific outfits haven’t been disclosed, Kate recently hinted that her attire will feature a “hint of blue.” During a visit to Birmingham, Kate shared this with Alison Hammond of This Morning.
Blue is a color frequently worn by the royals, symbolizing trustworthiness and stability.
Fashion expert Samantha Harman explained that blue is often chosen to convey that the monarchy is in “safe hands,” reflecting stability and reliability. Kate and Camilla’s choice of blue aligns with royal traditions and their role in ensuring the future of the monarchy.
She added: “It’s no coincidence that they’re wearing more blue – blue means stability and reliability. So, they’re conveying the message that the future is in safe hands.”
Celebration of Louis’ birthday
Prince William and Princess Kate recently celebrated Prince Louis’ 5th birthday on April 23. Unlike grand royal events, Kate prefers traditional and intimate celebrations. According to historian Tessa Dunlop, Louis’ party was likely filled with simple games and family time rather than lavish festivities.
Kate, known for her love of photography, captured and shared a sweet birthday photo of Louis wearing a blue jumper and shorts, smiling happily.
For Louis’ birthday, the couple shared a photo of their now-five-year-old smiling, dressed in a blue wooly jumper and blue shorts.
Kate Middleton ‘rules out’ fourth child with 4 words
Kate Middleton seemingly ruled out having a fourth child with four words: “I’ve been there and done that.” During a visit to the Baby Bank in Maidenhead, she helped sort baby clothes and reminisced about how small infants can be.
When a volunteer joked about not wanting to go through it again, Kate laughed and echoed the sentiment, suggesting she and Prince William are content with their three children.
While helping volunteers sort through donated clothes, Rebecca joked: “I look at them and think I don’t want to go through that again.”
Kate agreed, laughing, and said: “I’ve been there and done that.”
“They do grow so quickly”
Kate Middleton shared that her daughter, Princess Charlotte, is a big fan of Toy Story, while her son Prince Louis recently turned five. Reflecting on how fast her children are growing, she said, “They do grow so quickly.”
As part of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation, nationwide activities will take place, with a focus on encouraging people to help others. Brits will receive an extra bank holiday and are invited to join “The Big Help Out” on May 6, promoting community volunteering. Kate emphasized that even small contributions matter, saying, “You don’t have to commit to a full day—just a morning slot can make a difference.”
Though the Prince and Princess of Wales might not want a fourth child now, that could all change, if reports are to be believed.
Expert Claims Having a Fourth Child Could Be ‘Dangerous’ for William and Kate
Royal expert Chris Ship suggests that Prince William could face criticism from environmental advocates if he and Kate have a fourth child. As William actively campaigns on green issues, the “green lobby” might argue that having more children harms the planet.
However, Ship acknowledges that the decision is entirely up to the couple. While it’s possible Kate might want another child, he personally believes they are “done with three.”
