Does Queen Elizabeth Think Kate Middleton Should Have More Royal Duties Despite Pregnancy?

When Kate gives birth to her baby, she and her husband know that the public will be celebrating with them and they are more than happy about that.

"They know that people are excited Prince George will soon have a little brother or sister and it means a great deal to them that so many will be celebrating this important moment for their family," the statement reads.

Kate became a mother for the first time when she had baby George in July 2013.
