It's getting a little thin on top.

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."
It's getting a little thin on top.
Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.
Charles is first in line. William would succeed him — heir or no heir. Given family history, it’s likely that Queen Elizabeth II will be on the throne for many more years. In the interim, some arrangement may be devised to pass over Charles (e.g. he could abdicate), and William would be crowned King. William could live another 60 years (give or take). At any rate, this story smells too much, even for fish wrap.
I think you mean Windsors.
I think Camilla is fabulous.
Camilla’s kind of a blabby old bag isn’t she?
Camilla has done a lot she shouldn’t have against the royal family.
I don’t think any bastards (aside from.Wm I) have ever been on the Emglush throne.
Well...IF this story is true I would guess Kate will know better than to trust Camilla to keep anything private from now on.
Maybe because be’s always been genuinely in love with her in a way that had nothing to do with looks.
IF they can't have a biological child, there is no reason on earth not to adopt if they wish. Kids and heirs to the throne are two different things. Rules aside, who said the kid would want to be saddled with the throne and who said the Brits wouldn't have had their fill of royals by then.
How many hundreds of years? Ha! Ever heard of "mama's baby, daddy's maybe"?
Uh, timidly raising hand...
The story was splashed all over the tabloids at the check out counter today and accidently caught a blip of it on some entertainment show while channel surfing this evening.
No, if William has no son, his heir will be Harry.
You are right.
Whew. I’m so relieved. Of course, Harry might not have any kids either.
Some people in good health will outlive their own children. That could happen to Queen Elizabeth.
Well, if old horse-face says it...
Maybe Bill’s the problem. Chuck Norris can impregnate
women by simply pointing at them and saying, `Booya!’
USA! USA! USA!
If, heaven forbid William died and did not produce an heir wouldn’t Prince Harry then become King ( the second son of Diana) and following his death, his son, if he had one, or daughter would then become king or queen?
