Will the Prince and Princess of Wales be welcoming their fourth baby this year? If we are to believe some of the latest reports, the answer could very well be yes! According to astrologer Debbie Frank, as per Geo News, Marie Claire and Hello, Prince William, 40, and Kate Middleton, 41, are “finally feeling ready” and could very likely be expanding their brood “sometime in 2023” after “going back and forth” about their decision for a while. Wow!
Princess Diana's Close Friend Predicts Prince And Princess Of Wales Could Welcome Baby No.4 This Year
The prediction from Frank – who was reportedly a close friend of the late Princess Diana – comes after Closer reported that the parents-of-three didn’t want to put "too much pressure" on themselves to have a fourth child, and wanted to take a more "relaxed approach" this time around.
Fourth baby aside, Frank sees other things in Middleton's future too, as she sees her cementing her status as the new Princess of Wales. "This year will see her step up in new ways that endear her to the public, increasing her relatability and getting involved with issues that show she’s clearly in touch with what’s going on in the world and people’s lives," Frank said.
"Especially from summer 2023 onwards, Kate will have the opportunity to showcase her strengths. June is her mega-month to rise and shine," she added. "Like William, the autumn is a strong period for Kate to make her mark, and she too is busy delivering on a clear set of goals. For Kate, 2023 gives her a real opportunity to establish her identity as Princess of Wales."
Fans Lost It Over Prince William’s Reaction To Kate Middleton's 'Baby Fever' At Public Appearance
When Prince William and Kate Middleton paid a visit to the Newmarket Racecourse in Suffolk, England last summer, fans couldn’t get enough of Kate's reaction to meeting a cute baby, which made it clear that she was on board with having another baby! In a hilarious and heart-warming moment, Middleton immediately hugged the little child upon meeting, and reportedly, as Geo News writes, told the mother how much she loves spending time with children.
The Prince of Wales allegedly then tapped his wife’s arm, gesturing her to say goodbye to the baby and head to their other festivities of the day. Naturally, after images of this wholesome moment went viral online, fans on Twitter were quick to laugh at Middleton’s "baby fever" and Prince William’s comical "not-another-baby" response.

The royal couple share 3 children: Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, and one fan joked that Middleton appeared to "want a fourth kid" while cradling the little baby in the viral images. Another wrote, "She clearly loves babies and William's reaction is so funny!" Another user added that William seemed "Desperate to get away before Catherine gets any ideas about baby No. 4"
