Prince William has revealed that he and wife Catherine hope to have two children. The royal couple, who are currently on an official tour of the South Pacific, were in Singapore when a fan questioned the prince about his family plans.

“Someone asked him how many children he would like to have and he said he was thinking about having two," 17-year-old Corine Ackermann, a student at the Tanglin Trust School, said.

The Duke and Duchess, who look to be more in love every day, were greeted by a 1,000-strong crowd as they toured the Gardens in the Bay.

Yesterday Kate fuelled rumours she was pregnant by ignoring the wine placed in front of her during a seven-course banquet, choosing to drink water instead. Most unusually, she again opted for water to make the royal toast.
