Kate’s new mother-in-law Camilla has been telling friends the royal bride has fertility problems which may prevent her from getting pregnant — according to sources. If the claims are true, the newlyweds are facing up to the fact that they may never produce an heir to the British throne!
“Health complications from Kate‘s adolescence raised red flags that may have an impact on her ability to conceive,” sources close to Camilla have told In In Touch Magazine.
The consequences would be devastating for the British monarchy. Both William, 28, and his father Prince Charles were born soon after their parents married, and the royal couple are under intense pressure to produce an heir soon.
Royal biographer Andrew Morton tells In Touch, “If Kate is not pregnant within the next nine months, she’ll be defying 200 years of British tradition.”
The last reining monarch to die without producing a legitimate heir was Will’s great-great-great-great-great uncle King William IV, more than 170 years ago!
If William does indeed die heir-less, the throne would defer to the eldest male child of his younger brother Harry.
Unlike most couples, adoption isn’t an option for William and Kate, 29 — only a biological child can be heir to the throne.
But sources tell In Touch the Duke and Duchess chose to ignore Kate’s medical problems for a marriage “based on love."
Mother-in-law from hell, for sure.
Another dig at the the Mountbatten-Windsor male pattern baldness genes.
My father’s family has traced our linage to England through sometime in the 1500’s to pirates and Sir Francis Drake. Now you’re telling me I could be related to British royalty as well!!!?????
I don’t believe this.
Whenever I see "sources close to the White House" I always think of reporters walking by 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Perhaps it's similar here.
What a terrible terrible thing to say! Only a wicked step-mother would say such a thing, whether it is true or not. It would have been best for her to keep her blabbering mouth shut!! I have never understood what Charles saw in her????
If this story is true, which I have my doubt, then I have a lot more respect for Prince William than I did before.
*snort*
So the line goes to Andrew and Fergies kids.
The ones with the hats.
I knew that hat was a giant uterus and fallopian tubes. It was sending a subliminal message...
I agree!!!! Seems very heartless and classless.
You are assuming that the story is true. These gossip people will invent anything for a few clicks
I think the palace might have floated this story to take the heat off William &Kate and allow them to have some time to just be a married couple and not have the pressure to have kids right away. In fact, William @ Kate may have asked for it. Then, a few years later when they do get pregnant, it will be a royal miracle!
I can help.
...and if she did say it, the woman is clearly jealous. The people of England love Kate, as they did Diana...Camilla could never compete with that level of class.
Put your whole back into it.
No chance. Elizabeth will push herself to 105 before she'll let Charles sit on the throne.
Harry has been immune so far.
“If William does indeed die heir-less, the throne would defer to the eldest male child of his younger brother Harry.”
Yep.
