The 35-year-old royal - who already has four-year-old son Prince George and two-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte with her husband the Duke of Cambridge - announced she was pregnant earlier this year, but it is rumoured the brunette beauty is not carrying one baby but two.

And it is also believed the new additions to the family will sleep in separate bedrooms because Catherine - who was formerly known as Kate Middleton before she married Prince William - wants her children to be "seen as individuals", although they will share a play area with their siblings

A source told the Life & Style magazine: "[She wants the twins to] be seen as individuals and allowed to develop their own personalities.

"The twins will sleep in separate bedrooms but will share a playroom with George and Charlotte."

But Catherine has admitted she thinks raising a child should be a collaborative effort, and other people, including teacher and school peers, play a role in looking after little ones.

Speaking previously, she said: "As a mother, just getting used to leaving my own child at the school gates, it is clear to me that it takes a whole community to help raise a child. Whether we are school leavers, teachers, support staff or parents we are all in this together."

And while Catherine thinks more people need to help parents, William has hinted he wants lets pressure put on children.

Speaking previously, he said: "The pressure on young people these days is considerable - almost certainly more than even for my generation not so long ago.

"Children are tested more than ever before and are being prepared to enter a highly competitive work market."
