Kate Middleton Reportedly Prefers To Stay At Home With Kids, Could Quit Royal Duties

Kate Middleton recently sparked rumors that she could be quitting her royal duties for the sake of her three children.

While speaking with The Sun, royal expert Phil Dampier said that there’s a possibility for Middleton to have another child with Prince William. And if and when this happens, she will have a harder time performing her royal duties.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if they have a fourth child. Not only does [Kate] love family life in Norfolk, to be honest, it gives her an excuse to not be at the forefront of royal duties for a bit longer, which I don’t think she enjoys. I think Kate’s been interacting with the public and doing very well recently, but from what I’m told, she’d rather be at home with the children,” he said.

Last year, Middleton already proved to the public that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis is her top priority. The Duchess of Cambridge was supposed to attend the Tusk Awards back in November, but she canceled at the last minute due to her children.

Five years ago, she also opened up about motherhood following the birth of Princess Charlotte. Prince William’s wife said that becoming a mother has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience. But she also admitted that motherhood is full of complex emotions including joy, exhaustion, love, worry, and everything else mixed together.

Meanwhile, Middleton also made headlines this week after she was photographed seemingly hiding her growing baby bump while in Dublin, Ireland. The future queen sparked rumors that she’s expecting another baby but no confirmation has been made by the palace.

In fact, Middleton previously said that Prince William no longer wants to have another baby. But since the royal couple is still quite young, anything is still possible when it comes to their baby-making department.
