Hey there, royal fans! As the world eagerly awaits the arrival of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s first baby, it seems like another exciting addition to the royal family could be on the horizon. Yes, you guessed it—Kate Middleton might just be thinking about expanding her brood with baby number four. Stay with me here, because this story is as fascinating as it gets.

Cute Baby Encounters Spark Broody Thoughts

During a recent visit to Ireland with her husband, Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge, 37, found herself charmed by an adorable 5-month-old baby named James Barr. Now, let me paint the picture for you. Imagine Kate, glowing as ever, meeting this little bundle of joy during her walkabout. According to People magazine, she couldn’t help but gush, "He’s gorgeous. It makes me feel broody." Broody, you say? Yes, indeed! She even added, "You’re a very sweet little boy," giving us all the warm fuzzies.

Was That a Hint About Baby Number Four?

Now, here’s where things get interesting. As Kate was cooing over baby James, James’ dad, Alan, couldn’t resist asking the million-dollar question: "Baby number four?" Cue laughter from Kate, who playfully responded, "I think William would be a little worried." Can you picture the scene? It’s like she’s saying, "Yeah, maybe, but let’s not scare the husband just yet!"

Full Hands, But Maybe Not Full Hearts

At the moment, Kate and William, 36, have their hands full with their three children—Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 3, and Prince Louis, who’s just 10 months old. These little ones are currently back in London, waiting patiently for their parents to return from their trip. But hey, who knows? Maybe down the road, we’ll see another little royal addition to the family. For now, all eyes are on Meghan Markle, whose baby is due to arrive in April.

Oh, and let’s not forget about Meghan’s recent extravagant baby shower in New York City. The bash, which reportedly cost a cool $200,000, included A-list guests like Amal Clooney and Serena Williams. While it was a glamorous affair, some, including Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, have criticized the event. He suggested that Prince William might not be thrilled about the lavish attention surrounding Meghan’s pregnancy, saying, "He has spent years working with the press to give them what they want but also gets what he wants in return—privacy. Meghan is doing exactly what he doesn’t—courting attention all for her and her baby." Oof, that’s a lot to unpack!

But hey, once that baby arrives, I’m sure William will be all hearts and smiles. After all, there’s nothing like falling in love with a new member of the family, whether it’s a boy or a girl. The suspense is real!
