There has been oodles of speculation about not just when they’ll procreate, but what they’d name the child and also what kind of parents they would be like. But she hasn’t ever talked publicly (before or after the wedding) about having kids …until now.
During a meet and greet in Quebec City on their current tour of Canada, Kate was pictured being given a bouquet of flowers by two-year-old Raffaela.
While fawning over the youngster, who she described as 'beautiful', her father, British expat David Cheater, 28, wished the Duchess luck in starting a family of her own.
Smiling, Kate thanked him and replied: 'Yes, I hope to.'
Prince William and his new wife, who were married at Westminster Abbey in April, are in the middle of a nine-day tour of Canada, where they have been partaking in ceremonies and receptions across the country.
This is the first time the Duchess has talked about having children since she wed Prince William in a lavish ceremony in April. If she follows royal precedent, she could be giving birth to the heir before April next year.
William was born on 21 June 1982, around 11 months after his parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, wed in July 1981. And his grandmother, the Queen, gave birth to his father Charles on 14 November 1948, just a short time after marrying the Duke of Edinburgh on 20 November 1947.
In a separate incident, Kate reportedly admitted that she 'always fears' for Prince William's safety during missions with the RAF.
The 29-year-old royal works as a search and rescue helicopter pilot at RAF Valley in North Wales.
During a visit to the National War Memorial in Ottawa, she told one supporter: "I always worry when William goes off on a mission. I find it very difficult.
"You always fear for them, not knowing if something is going to happen and it can be very hard. I always worry, but my job is to support my husband. You should always support your husband."
On Friday, which would have been William's mother Diana's 50th birthday, the royal couple attended a pop concert in Ottawa as part of the Canada Day celebrations in the capital.
They also took part in a long-standing tree-planting tradition, which has seen previous visiting members of the Royal Family plant Canadian Eastern Hemlocks in the grounds of Rideau Hall - the Governor General’s residence.
Tradition dictates that the tree, with a life span of 800 years, will 'serve as an ongoing symbol of the love and marriage of Their Royal Highnesses'.
It will be surrounded by trees planted by William's grandmother and grandfather, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, his father the Prince of Wales, and his late mother, Princess Diana.
Maybe the baby will be conceived on this trip. Either Canada or maybe even in the United States. One thing for sure, everyone is waiting for it not just to be talk but all action!
