Prince William Just Revealed How He’s Preparing for His Third Child

Prince William (opens in new tab) has opened up about preparing for a third child with the Duchess of Cambridge for the first time.

On Friday, the 35-year-old attended the Centrepoint Awards (opens in new tab) at Kensington Palace, an event which is designed to celebrate the achievements of young people who have overcome homelessness. During the ceremony, the Duke of Cambridge spoke candidly about family life.

He told guests (opens in new tab), "Our third child (opens in new tab) is due in April, I'm getting as much sleep as I can."

Raymond Stoner, head of Anston Properties, quickly suggested that the royal couple save time by having twins, to which the Duke of Cambridge joked, "Twins? I think my mental health would be tested with twins."

Prince William continued, "Two is fine, I don't know how I'm going to cope with three. I'm going to be permanently tired."

The evening marked 50 years since the charity—which Princess Diana (opens in new tab) was a patron of—was first established.

And in a candid speech, the Duke of Cambridge praised the work of those involved. He said, "I feel immense pride in all Centrepoint has accomplished in that time, but with it, disappointment and frustration—frustration that in one of the most prosperous countries in the world, homelessness is still putting the lives and futures of our young people at risk."

After meeting a group of young women who attended the ceremony, he congratulated them on their success saying, "Look at you girls—you look amazing. You're smiling, you're the role models now."

He continued, "You've had difficulties and you've come through them. You're the role models for the next generation."
