Following the revelation that Kate Middleton reportedly told Prince William she wants to 'have another' baby, it appears the mother-of-three's broodiness hasn't dissipated.

During the royal couple's two-day visit to Scotland, where they are focusing on mental health engagements amid Mental Health Awareness Week, they visited St John's Primary School in Port Glasgow.

While there, the duke quipped: 'Can you get my wife out of here before she gets broody?'

Prince William made a similar remark when the pair visited a Clitheroe Community Hospital in Lancashire back in January.

When Middleton was seen looking adorably at another couple's daughter Anastasia, with whom she took a photograph, the duke said: 'Don't give my wife any more ideas,' as per People.

The couple are already parents to Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte, seven and Prince Louis, four.

Prince William and Middleton's Scotland trip has seen them take part in an empathy building session aimed at children aged five to 13 and watch pupils interact with a mother and her baby as they learnt to understand babies' needs and emotions.

And while taking part in a short walkabout, where they met members of the public, Middleton was given flowers and bags of soft toys, seemingly for her own children.

Kate Middleton, who has admitted being 'broody' in the past, formerly conceded that Prince William doesn't want any more children.

And back in 2019, when a fan asked: 'Baby number four?' Middleton responded: 'I think William would be a little worried.'

What's more, just last month, during the royal couple's visit to Clitheroe Community Hospital in Lancashire, which saw them mingle with families, the mum-of-three was seen looking adoringly at one couple's daughter Anastasia, at which point she also posed for a photograph with the little girl.

The duchess' admiration for the child didn't go unnoticed by Prince William, who quipped: 'Don't give my wife any more ideas,' per People

Well, Middleton's broodiness doesn't appear to be disappearing anytime soon, and her latest remarks seemingly suggest she wants to expand her current family-of-five.

After talking to parents at Copenhagen's Children's Museum during her solo two-day trip in Denmark - one which sees her promoting the work of the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, which she launched in 2021 - she once again admitted to being 'broody'. That's before she explained: 'William always worries about me meeting under one-year-olds.

'I come home saying, "let's have another one", reported the Daily Mail.

The 40-year-old patron of children's mental health charity Patron of Place2Be also visited the Lego Foundation PlayLab at University College Copenhagen, home to students training to be early years professionals who are encouraged to keep play at the centre of their practice.

While at the Play Lab on her first day of engagements, she didn't let her smart look, including a postbox red tweed double-breasted Zara blazer, frilled ME+EM top and suede Gianvito Rossi pumps, get in the way of her having fun while there.

She was seen dashing down a slide while beaming from ear to ear.

Middleton, whose first stop of the day was at the University of Copenhagen, highlighted that her and Prince William's children (Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte, six and Prince Louis, three) were disappointed at not being involved in the trip.

'My children are very jealous they weren't coming to see the Lego Foundation,' she said.

'They were like, "hang on, there's Lego and we're not coming?"'

The Duchess of Cambridge's also discussed the universal struggle of parenthood, including 'insecure' feelings, even among well-educated families.

She highlight that there's 'the expectation that maybe they should know already'.

She continued: 'Whereas some of the more disadvantaged families probably have different challenges.'

The duchess' second day of engagements saw her meet with Queen Margrethe II and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. For the second day of her trip, it is understood she will be visiting a shelter supported by the Mary Foundation, which the Crown Princess founded in 2007.

The shelter protects vulnerable women and children at risk of domestic violence.

Middleton, who's spoken openly about having mum guilt in the past, also formerly described motherhood as 'a constant challenge' when appearing on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast.

She added: 'You're always sort of questioning your own decisions, and your own judgments, and things like that, and I think that starts from the moment you have a baby.'
