The popular princess-in-waiting is devastated that she might never have the children she so desperately yearns for.
Kate Middleton is riddled with anguish after realising she and Prince William may never have the family she’s always dreamed of.
She is said to be devastated since being told she can’t be a mum, and will have to wait until her late thirties.
While Princess Diana was married at 20 and had produced “an heir and a spare” by the age of 23, Kate, 27, will have to put any hope of motherhood on the backburner until career-driven Wills has fulfilled his desire to become an officer.
With a wait of eight to 10 years before she can even begin trying to have a child, Kate is worried she will miss her chance. Certainly, her “dream family” of several children now seems totally out of the question.
At 26, William has just begun a five-year training course to become a Search and Rescue helicopter pilot. And he has pledged to spend at least three more years with the service after that. With the British Ministry of Defence spending a fortune on his training, William is said to be keen not to waste it.
With reports that the royal family is unlikely to put on a wedding until his training is finished, this means by the time he is free to marry and take on official royal duties in 2017, Kate will be in her late thirties — when a woman’s fertility is on the wane.
