Kate Middleton admits to feeling 'very broody'
The Duchess of Cambridge has admitted to feeling “very broody” as she met a five-month-old baby during a visit to in Northern Ireland – even revealing “William might be worried” if she wanted a fourth baby.
As she cooed over the tot – named James Barr – his dad Alan asked the question on everyone’s lips: “Baby number four?”
Kate, who is mum to Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, three and 10-month-old Prince Louis, laughed and said: “I think William might be slightly worried.”
There has been plenty of speculation as to whether the Duke and Duchess will have a fourth child, to follow in the footsteps of the Queen and Prince Philip.
During the visit, the Duchess also met schoolgirl Hannah Ritchie, who told Kate she was writing a biography about her in school.
Hannah asked her what the best thing about being a princess is, to which Kate revealed that she loved “meeting lots of people.”

Their final engagement of the day was at Sure Start, a programme that supports parents with children aged under four years old living in disadvantaged areas in Northern Ireland.
Yesterday they visited Windsor Park stadium to learn about the Irish Football Association’s youth programmes and they went head-to-head during a football match, where William joked his wife Kate “goes for the ankles.”
They then visited charity Extern’s Roscor Youth Village, where they got involved in a number of outdoors activities.
