The Cambridges welcomed their 3rd child in April 2018. Louis joined big siblings Prince George, now 8, and Princess Charlotte, now 6, who quickly developed a “great bond” with their baby brother.

“[Charlotte]She really enjoys having a younger brother. She’s taking her big sister duties very seriously. She won’t leave baby Louis’ side,” a source exclusively told Us in May 2018, adding that George is “protective” of the younger two.

William and Kate are delighted with their five-member family, but a third source told them that they were not alone. Us in February 2021 that the couple, who tied the knot in 2011, “are ready to start trying” to conceive. “Kate’s desires to have another child have inspired William, and at the end of the day, he loves and appreciates the secure family setting he never had growing up. Why not make it bigger?” the source said. “After taking some time to think about it, he’s on the same page and is excited about the future.”
