Kate Middleton 'rules out fourth child' with six-word admission

The Princess of Wales appeared to rule out having a fourth child by making a frank six-word admission whilst visiting a baby bank earlier today.

The mum of three popped into the Baby Bank in Maidenhead this morning on a surprise visit, where she helped fold tiny baby clothes and remarked how she forgot how tiny children can be, writes The Mirror.

Kate wore a gorgeous cream blazer over a white top and was shown the piles of bags and boxes of clothes, toys and equipment donated at The Baby Bank, which are given to families in need.

As the princess sorted through the clothes, Baby Bank CEO Rebecca Mistry told her that many people feel broody when they see how tiny they are.

She joked: "Whereas I look at them and think I don’t want to go through that again."

Kate appeared to agree as she laughed and said: "I've been there and done that."

Kate has been a long-standing supporter of baby banks, with the one she visited today supporting 21,500 people since opening eight years ago.

She asked the charity's joint CEOs, Rebecca and Lauren Hall, questions about their set-up and local demand.

Kate also helped volunteers sort through clothes that had been kindly handed in for the cause.

Kate asked: "Have you seen the needs of families change recently?"

Lauren explained: "People are hanging onto what they have or passing it to friends or selling things like buggies for a little cash."

Kate then asked "What items are hard to come by?" Nappies, buggies and bigger items such as single beds, she was told.

The princess examined a large pile of boxes that had been donated by Mattel containing Buzz Lightyear toys. She said: "Oh yes, my daughter is a huge fan of Toy Story."

Kate was then taken upstairs and was faced with huge piles of donated clothes which needed to be sorted out into age categories, with less good quality or stained clothes discarded, she said: "This must be one of the more time-consuming elements."

She remarked on how tiny the clothes were, saying: "It only feels like yesterday that they were this tiny. They do grow so quickly."
