Prince William and Kate Middleton wanted to have three children but the Duchess has reportedly vowed not to have another child as she’s suffering from her second pregnancy.

Kate had trouble with her first pregnancy but has become even more sick during the second one, suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a sickness that brings extreme vomiting and weakness among other symptoms. 

“Originally, the couple had talked about having lots of kids--but hadn’t anticipated Kate enduring such a tough time,” a source told the National Enquirer tabloid.

“She was terribly worried Wills would be heartbroken--but he was touchingly sympathetic! Assuring her he’s happy with Bonnie Prince Georgie and the pending bun, he declared: ‘I never want to see you suffer like this again!’”

The report is unverified, though previous tabloid reports have indicated that the royal couple did want another child after this pregnancy.

Globe magazine reported in early August that Kate and William wanted three kids in about five years time.

They desired children close in age because both come from families that have just that.
