I was just wondering when everyone thinks that the couple will have their 1st child.
Also does Kate have a job she will return too or because of her royal marriage will be 'assigned' to just do royal duties ??

I think there will be time for royal duties. I believe this is a modern day couple. From what I'm reading and hearing their living in a modest 3-4 bedroom house with no staff to help.Kate did not want it.

And maybe within 3 yrs for a child.

I think her last job was with her parent's company so there is no job for her to return to. I believe her royal duties are starting pretty soon with an official trip to Canada.

I think it will be maybe a year and a half or two. She seems like she will want to get herself established in her role first.

I'm betting right away...neither of them as as young as some starting out and I would think they would want some kids very soon.

I heard on the news last night, because she is now royalty, she is not allowed to work. And When interviewed, Prince William said yes, they would be thinking about starting a family. I think that is the reason they got married since they have been together for about 9 yrs.

Can we let them be married a few more than 24 hours before putting the pressure on to have babies?

Totally agree!! I had people asking me during the 'money dance' at our wedding when we were going to start having kids.

Her age is also a factor, true. Although, with the food that they have in the UK and her seeming health, I'm sure she won't have any troubles. There is definitely something to be said for starting younger though. I had my son when I was 37. It would have been a whole different ball game if I'd had him in my 20s.
