    Kate Middleton is reportedly ready for baby number two as early as 2014

    Kate Middleton hasn’t even given birth to her first child yet but that hasn’t stopped her from being the target of rumours she’s already thinking about having another baby. A close friend of the Duchess of Cambridge revealed the royal would ideally prefer to be pregnant again as early as next year.

    The royal baby is due mid-July and it appears Kate Middleton will only allow for a little recovery time before she’d like to start trying for another baby.

    The friend, who may not be close to the Duchess for much longer, told OK! magazine: ‘Kate is full of the joys of motherhood and raring to start planning for baby number two.

    Wow, the palace best prepare itself for lots of noise!

    The insider added: ‘As far as Kate is concerned, that means giving herself the rest of the year to recover, then trying for another baby in the new year.’

    We hope second time round Kate Middleton’s pregnancy will be easier, late last year she suffered with acute morning sister and was forced to have a short spell in hospital.
