Kate Middleton, Prince William Celebrate Baby News After Close Friends Welcome Son

Kate Middleton and Prince William are celebrating with their close pals who recently welcomed their third son.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s inner circle just welcomed a new addition after the birth of their friends Bear Maclean and Daisy Dickson’s third son, Arlo Finch Bear, Hello! reported.

Prince William and Maclean are close buddies. In fact, the latter was among the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s guests during their royal wedding in 2011. Maclean attended Harrow boarding school while Prince William was at Eton.

When Maclean and socialite Dickson tied the knot, many were shocked that Middleton missed the event. Instead, Prince William arrived with his sister-in-law, Pippa Middleton.

“The names William and Catherine Wales were written on the plan, which appeared on an antique-looking mirror,” a source said.

“They were due to sit at the top table. Kate had been expected to attend.”

The insider went on and suggested that no one knew why the Duchess of Cambridge didn’t make it to the event. In fact, the people were talking about her absence over breakfast the next morning.

Meanwhile, there are speculations that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are likely to make a baby announcement during the lockdown. The royal couple has been spending more time together during the quarantine, and this could make the royal mom of three more broody.

“I’ve thought for some time Kate wants a fourth child and I think the lockdown has increased the chances of it happening,” Phil Dampier said.

“I’ve always thought the lockdown will result in a baby boom generally, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the Cambridges join the club! She loves it there and it’s the closest they get to a normal family life, so spending time there together will make her more broody.”

Royal fans have been looking forward to hearing another baby announcement from Prince William and Middleton. Earlier this year, Middleton sparked pregnancy rumors during their official tour to Ireland.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge dropped by at the Home of Guinness in Dublin. Interestingly, many noticed that the duchess only took a sip and had the foam in her Guinness-filled pint glass.
