Kate Middleton has baby fever?

The Duchess received messages around Valentine's Day that left her completely enraptured.

London – Kate Middleton has a heart for children, which becomes clear when you see her in public with her offspring.

The Duchess is said to be a mother who is loving and patient, but also strict.

So it's no wonder that there is always speculation as to whether another little royal will join the family.

So far, Kate and William have always denied the question of the fourth child.

But maybe that will change soon.

Because Kate Middleton is completely blown away by the baby news that she has now received.

It's not the Duchess herself who is expecting a baby, but Rebecca Priestley, her former private secretary and confidant.

She just became a mom for the second time.

As the British

reports, Kate is "overjoyed" at the happy news of the birth.

No wonder she and William have known Rebecca and Adam Alexander Priestley for many years.

The couple were even allowed to marry in the Chapel Royal, a privilege otherwise reserved for the royal family.

From 2012 to 2017, Rebecca worked as a secretary for the ducal couple and was considered Kate's closest confidant.

She organized official appearances, planned meetings for Kate and even accompanied her on trips.

To this day, the two share a deep friendship.

Before working for Kate, Rebecca worked for Prince Harry's charity Sentebale.

Today she runs her own PR company, in which she owns at least 75 percent of the shares.

Like

reported the Priestley baby was born on January 27th, and is named Patrick Michael Walter.

The first son of the two is named William Michael Alexander.

So it has the same first name as Prince William, even if the boy is apparently mostly called "Billy".
