\nPrince William and Kate Middleton have been together for decades, with only a brief split during their early years at St Andrews University. Now, as the heirs to the throne, they\u2019ve built a life together, raising their three children\u2014Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. However, Kate\u2019s journey to motherhood wasn\u2019t without its challenges.\n
Speculation has swirled for years about whether the royal couple might expand their family. While they haven\u2019t directly addressed the rumors, Kate did drop a hint in 2023 about what might come next. Meanwhile, royal expert Tom Quinn suggests in his new book that the Wales household might already have a fourth child\u2014just not in the way people might expect.\n
Since meeting at university, William and Kate have built a life together, navigating both the highs and lows of royal life. Over the past year, Kate\u2019s health struggles have made things particularly difficult. William himself has admitted that the past 12 months\u2014marked by her cancer diagnosis and treatment\u2014have been their hardest yet.\n
\n
Thankfully, Kate is now cancer-free, and the support from royal fans worldwide has been overwhelming. Her family, particularly her parents Carole and Michael Middleton, have played a vital role in helping care for their grandchildren while William has taken on more responsibilities at home.\n
Despite these challenges, royal expert Hilary Fordwich believes their bond has only grown stronger. Speaking to Fox News, she noted how their public displays of affection are not just for the cameras.\n
\u201cThere have been multiple instances where their affection is reminiscent of two teenagers in love, which of course they were initially, well in their early 20s,\u201d Fordwich said. \u201cTheir comfort level with one another has never decreased, but rather increased as a result of the strong bonds they formed at university.\u201d\n
Kate has been open about her experiences with pregnancy, revealing that she struggled with severe morning sickness during each of her pregnancies. In an interview with Giovanna Fletcher, she admitted:\n
\u201cWhen I was really sick, I really saw the power of it, the meditation and deep breathing and things like that, that they teach you in hypnobirthing,\u201d she shared. \u201cI\u2019m not the happiest pregnant person because I had terrible morning sickness.\u201d\n

\n
When asked if she experienced it with all three children, she confirmed: \u201cUnfortunately, yes.\u201d\n
Kate also acknowledged the toll pregnancy takes not just on the mother but on the entire family. Whether she and William will have a fourth child remains to be seen, but Tom Quinn\u2019s book suggests they may already have an honorary fourth child in their home\u2014William himself.\n
In Yes Ma\u2019am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, Quinn describes how William\u2019s hectic schedule means his clothes are carefully laid out and his daily routine is meticulously planned. He reportedly bathes at the same time each day, and if things don\u2019t go according to plan, he can become frustrated.\n

Kate, having grown up in a more grounded environment, is said to help him stay level-headed. Quinn even quotes a royal insider as saying:\n
