OH, BABY!

Prepare the royal nursery! Kate Middleton and Prince William have some happy news to share

It’s back-to-school time! The new term at the Lambrook School in England’s Berkshire county began on Sept. 6 for all students, including Kate Middleton and Prince William’s three kids, George, 10, Charlotte, 8, and Louis, 5. “Like most parents, Kate always gets a little emotional dropping them off for the first day,” says a source. “Even Louis is out of nursery school now and is starting year one. Her babies are growing up so fast!”

Not surprisingly, as the princess has been the first to admit, she’s been feeling broody. “Kate has been talking about having another baby for the longest time. She was constantly nagging William about it,” says the source. “He made it clear he was pretty much against it, so she eventually gave up on the idea. At 41, she knew the chances were low anyway.” But now, she may have finally gotten her way. “There are whispers at the palace that they’re expecting baby No. 4,” says the source. “It’s come as a total surprise to everyone, but Kate is overjoyed!”
