Here’s one piece of news, right
out of the horse’s mouth. Both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are eagerly looking forward to
having their own offspring, barely one year after their grand nuptials in April
2011. What Prince William when talking did not mention was when exactly the
world will get to hear the patter of tiny feet in the Buckingham Palace
corridors.
Speaking to Katie Couric in an interview with ABC News, the 29-year-old Duke
frankly declared: “I’m just very keen to have a family and both Catherine and
I, you know, are looking forward to having a family in the future.” When
prompted by Couric if he had any additional information to share, the highly
private Prince William responded with a laugh, “You won’t get anything out of
me. (I am) tight lipped.” Now as everyone knows is typical of the secretive Cancerian
Prince.

The interview by Katie Couric is part of a series of rare interviews conducted
with the royal family members including Prince William, Prince Harry, and
Prince Andrews to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The interview will be
broadcast on Tuesday night in an ABC News special, The Jubilee Queen With
Katie Couric.
Right after Prince William and Catherine’s wedding, speculation has been rife on whether Kate Middleton is pregnant. Meanwhile, as per the latest rule of succession agreed to by the heads of 16 Commonwealth nations, irrespective of the gender of their child, Will and Kate’s first-born can ascend the throne in future. Of course, the British Parliament has still to amend existing law to make the succession change official.
In this context British PM David Cameron, told the press last year “Put simply, if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were to have a little girl, that girl would one day be our queen.” Of course all these discussions about his future child, is puzzling Prince William who when asked about constant talk over whether Kate is pregnant, said: “It is quite strange reading about it, but I try not to let it bother me.”
But what does bother the Duke of
Cambridge is the difficult choice he has to make by the end of this year on
whether to continue his stint with the Royal Air Force, where he is a flight
lieutenant or carry on with his royal duties on a full time basis.
According to Prince William, he
is still trying to decide. “It’s a really difficult one because I really enjoy
my time in the Air Force. And I’d love to continue it. But the pressures of my
other life are building. And fighting them off or balancing the two of them has
proven quite difficult,” he added.

Meanwhile younger brother, Prince Harry naturally after seeing his elder
brother happily married must be surely yearning for a mate like Kate Middleton,
which would be tough act to follow. He is still trying to figure out his own
life, he said.
Echoing Prince William, the
27-year-old Prince Harry too shared with Katie Couric his own yearning for a
family. “I’ve longed for kids since I was very, very young. And so…I’m waiting
to find the right person, someone who’s willing to take on the job,” he opened
out honestly.
