The Duchess of Cambridge says her kids are getting excited about the holidays — and she’s excited they’re about to get a cousin!


During a visit Wednesday to Leicester University, the former Kate Middleton was asked by a well-wisher about her three children, who she said are getting ready for Christmas.

"They"ve started all their Christmas songs and the Christmas trees are going up,” the duchess replied. "And Louis"s getting bigger. I can"t believe he"s like seven months now. He"s getting to be a big boy!"

The duchess and her husband, Prince William, have three children: Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 3, and the “big boy” himself, Prince Louis, who was born in April.


The exchange was captured on the cell phone video of a well-wisher, who also asked about the pregnancy of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Catherine couldn’t help but gush when asked if she was excited about the impending arrival of the newest royal, who is due sometime in the spring.



“Absolutely. It’s such a special time to have little kiddies — and a cousin for George and Charlotte as well, and Louis! So it’ll be really special,” she said.

The response should provide some reassurance to royal watchers who may have been worried over recent news that Meghan and Prince Harry, William"s brother, planned to move out of Kensington Palace in early 2019 and settle on the grounds of the Windsor Estate.

The newlyweds currently live in Nottingham Cottage, a two-bedroom apartment on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where Catherine, William and their children also reside.


Although some speculated that Harry and Meghan would simply move into a larger apartment in anticipation of their expanding family, the news that they"d be moving to Windsor fueled rumors over whether tension had surfaced between the two sets of royals.


But to be fair, the Windsor estate has sentimental value to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. It"s where they got married in May and the pair have spent considerable time at the Frogmore House, a 17th century home that served as the backdrop for the couple"s engagement photos. The pair will be moving into the Frogmore Cottage, a two-story residence on the site.

But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said their official office will remain at Kensington Palace.

Meghan Markle "secretly flew economy to visit best friend"

BEFORE taking in the West End production of Hamilton with Prince Harry and Lin-Manuel Miranda, Meghan Markle secretly flew economy to Toronto to see her best friend, stylist Jessica Mulroney. “Meghan spent three days holed up at Jessica Mulroney and her husband Ben’s home in Toronto,” ABC News royal contributor Omid Scobie revealed. “They spent their days catching up, cooking together and, of course, playing with Jessica’s children, who love their Aunty Meg.” “There was one evening when Meghan and Jessica secretly headed out into the town to meet some of Meghan’s old, good friends,” Scobie added of Markle’s recent Toronto trip . Mulroney, 38, and her daughter, Ivy, served as bridesmaids for the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex in the royal wedding in May, with Mulroney’s sons serving as page boys and carrying Markle’s train. Markle and Mulroney first met when she moved to the Ontario city to film Suits in 2011 and have been inseparable ever since. One trip the California-born royal is

All the Ways Jessica Mulroney"s Star Has Risen In The Six Months Since The Royal Wedding

Pre- royal wedding , most Canadians associated the name Mulroney with conservative politicos and red carpet CanCon.

Here, we trace Jessica Mulroney’s ascension from who’s-that-girl status to mainstream success.

Either way, the infamy earned Jess a major spike in her  Insta fol

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry"s royal baby rules: 5 unusual traditions the couple will likely follow - Fox News

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are preparing for royal baby No. 1, which is due to arrive by the end of April. And though they"ll be first-time parents, the pair will have the entire British throne to back them up — and give them a few rules to follow along the way. Many royal enthusiasts tend to agree: the pair is unlike any other royal couple, especially compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. However, they have stuck to many royal traditions over the past year, and they"ll likely continue some of the years-old customs their relatives have followed before them. In fact, Markle has already vowed to follow one royal rule — keeping the gender of her first child a secret.
