- - William and Kate First Child (https://www.quiltingboard.com/general-chit-chat-non-quilting-talk-f7/william-kate-first-child-t119829.html)

During my last pregnancy, in the doctor's office I met a woman who was 51 years old, having what she grimly declared to be her last. She wasn't happy with it, but her age and weight had hid it too long so she had to go on and have this child.

At 33 I was considered to be almost too old to have kids, in other families but not mine. I had my first one 8 months after Mom had her last one. My second sister went to her first daughter's wedding while still nursing her last. And my first son was almost 17 when my last son was born. So age in this and the last generation isn't so important now a days.

As royals, they will have the best medical care in the world, so their ages aren't so very important yet.!! Not for probably the next 20 years!! But they will most likely be talked into having that next heir to the throne.

I think it will be a year and 9 months.

Sorry...

First of all, I don't think anything we speculate about on our little forum will put pressure on the royal couple to have babies or anything else! LOL

But seriously, I think Bonnie was just trying to get some good-natured responses to a question on many, many people's minds. It's just all in good fun. My thoughts are that they will procreate within two years. :D :D

Thank You, I was just curious since they are both going to be in there 30's soon and have been together for 9-10 years. I thought I had heard the the reason they waited to be married was that once they were married it was expected for them to start a family very soon.
Gosh there were bookies who were wagering bets on the 'kiss' how long it would be....

This is just talk we would all have with friends, that's just human nature and a reason we get married. I speak honestly and I think that's what you all do as well, that's why I like this board. That's my 2 cents.

I'd say within 2 years for the birth of a new royal

And maybe within 3 yrs for a child.

I can't IMAGINE turning down "staff" if that was actually an option. Obviously Kate is not a QUILTER!!
