The Duchess of Cambridge is reportedly ready for a third baby, but it's Prince William who isn't ready.
According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, the princess has started making plans to get pregnant again, but it's the prince who is not yet keen on the idea, citing that it may result in another pregnancy complication and post-partum depression.
The duchess suffered a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum during the early part of her pregnancies with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The condition causes extreme vomiting and may lead to weight loss and dehydration, according to the US National Library of Medicine. Despite this, Kate Middleton still wants to give the baby another go, Celeb Dirty Laundry stated.
The royal couple has always been keen about having more children after Charlotte. However, according to the report, Prince William thinks his wife may want to have another baby for the wrong reasons.
According to the Hollywood Gossip, the duchess is being pressured to have another child by her own mother, Carole Middleton. The story suggests that the older Middleton sometimes meddle in the life of her daughter.
Meanwhile, Kate missed joining her husband for a high-society wedding in South Devon last weekend, according to Hello Magazine. Set to be married were the royal couple's dear friends, Bear Maclean and Daisy Dickson. Bear was even at William and Kate's wedding.
In the duchess' absence, her sister, Pippa Middleton, accompanied Prince William to the wedding. Apparently, it was so last-minute that the place cards for the table's seating plan still had Kate's name on it.
The reason for Kate's absence was unknown, but this had, once again, caused tongues to wag, with a source saying that it was the topic of conversation during breakfast the next morning.
The Daily Mail suggested that Kate might already be too exhausted with taking care of the children while her husband wanted to keep partying. The news outlet also reported that it seemed odd that William and Pippa had lunch together the next day.
According to E! Online, this was not the first time the duchess missed out on a friend's special event, but Prince William had attended at least five weddings in the past even without his wife. The report hinted that the reason for this may be either baby number three or post-natal depression.
Either way, all these remain pure speculations.
