Yes! It's Baby Number 3! A Sibling For George & Charlotte
Woman's Day Australia|3 July 2017

There’s excitement in the palace as Kate and William prepare to make a big announcement – there’s another royal rascal on the way!

Yes! It's Baby Number 3! A Sibling For George & Charlotte

Tenderly touching her stomach as she made her way onto the balcony of Buckingham Palace, the Duchess of Cambridge couldn’t hide her huge smile as the royals gathered to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s official birthday.

Now Woman’s Day can reveal the truth behind her glowing happiness… baby number three is on its way! Kate, 35, and Prince William are said to be readying themselves to make the exciting announcement in the coming weeks.

“Kate’s ecstatic at getting pregnant again,” a palace insider reveals exclusively. “She and Wills have been trying for some time for a third baby and the timing couldn’t be better. George is turning four next month and starting school, and Charlotte has just turned two.

“Plus Pippa’s wedding has come and gone so she doesn’t need to worry about that.

Kate and Wills are over the moon.”

It’s hoped the news will soothe tension in the palace. As Woman’s Day reported last week, relations between William, 35, and his dad Prince Charles are under pressure following the recently released Princess Diana tapes that detail Charles’s shortcomings as a husband and father.

His marriage to Camilla is also under strain as she struggles to deal with the increased scrutiny.

There’s hope a baby could be just the ticket for mending these reopened wounds. For now, only a few close members of the family are privy to Kate and William’s exciting news. But, for seasoned Katewatchers, the signs of her early pregnancy have all been there.
