At the same time, claims have been made that William and Kate might encourage their youngest son, Louis, to pursue a career outside of the Royal Family. The last thing they want is for him to become what Prince Harry dubbed a “spare.”

The Waleses home of Adelaide Cottage is huge, and one can imagine there is a lot of space if Prince William and Kate Middleton want a fourth child. However, it seems as though the royal couple may have made their mind up on that front—at least based on what Kate said during a trip to the town of Maidenhead in 2023.

During a surprise visit to the Baby Bank in Maidenhead, Kate helped staff fold tiny baby clothes, remarking how she had forgotten how small infants could be.

The Princess was shown bags and boxes of toys, equipment, and clothes received by the Baby Bank, which were then distributed to families in need.

Kate has been a longtime supporter of Baby Bank. The initiative began eight years ago and today supports up to 22,000 people. During her visit, Kate asked CEOs Rebecca and Lauren Hall all kinds of questions. Yet one of her comments seemed to shed light on the prospect of her and Prince William welcoming another child to their beautiful family.

While helping volunteers sort through donated clothes, Rebecca joked: “I look at them and think I don’t want to go through that again.”

Kate agreed, laughing, and said: “I’ve been there and done that.”

Kate also revealed that her daughter, Princess Charlotte, has one particular Disney franchise she loves.

“My daughter is a huge fan of Toy Story,” the Princess of Wales revealed, adding that her son Louis had just turned five. “It only feels like yesterday that they were this tiny. They do grow so quickly.”
