Prince William was reportedly brought to tears of happiness after receiving confirmation from doctors about Princess Catherine’s due date for their fourth child.
The news comes after weeks of subtle hints and growing speculation surrounding the Princess of Wales. Public appearances in looser-fitting attire, a lighter royal schedule, and Catherine’s familiar maternal glow had fueled rumors that the royal couple was expecting again. But now, according to a close palace insider, the couple has received official word from their medical team — and the moment was unforgettable.
“Prince William became visibly emotional when the doctor confirmed the pregnancy was progressing well and shared the due date,” said the insider. “He was overwhelmed — not just with joy, but with gratitude. He reportedly wiped away tears and thanked the medical team for their care and discretion.”
According to the source, Princess Catherine is expected to give birth in late March or early April of next year, a timeframe that adds even more significance as it aligns with spring — a season often associated with renewal, growth, and hope.
The couple, already parents to Prince George (12), Princess Charlotte (10), and Prince Louis (7), have always been open about their love of parenting. However, in recent years, Catherine has faced personal health challenges, which many believed might prevent a future pregnancy. This, royal watchers say, makes the news even more emotional for the Prince of Wales.
“He never expected a fourth child at this stage,” the insider shared. “It’s a blessing, and it’s brought a new wave of joy to their home.”
Though no official statement has been made by Kensington Palace, insiders expect a public announcement soon, possibly following the 12-week milestone. In the meantime, the royal couple has reportedly informed immediate family members, including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and Princess Anne. The children are said to be “thrilled” — especially little Prince Louis, who has been asking for “a baby sibling for ages,” according to one royal aide.
Princess Catherine, known for her composure and strength under pressure, is said to be taking extra care of her health while balancing her duties. Her team has quietly adjusted her schedule to allow for more rest and privacy during the early stages of her pregnancy.
Royal expert Hannah Bridgerton commented, “This baby symbolizes more than just a growing family. It represents stability, love, and the continued future of the monarchy under a modern royal couple who’ve always put family first.”
