The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are keen to start a family, but when you’re royalty, these things require planning … and generate major buzz.

Kate Middleton’s womb status is the subject of more speculation than who will portray Christian and Ana in 50 Shades of Grey. Everyone’s got a theory.

While last week’s Kate Middleton baby bump “reveal” looks like it was a false alarm (stunning), a source now says her pregnancy is – gasp! – being talked about!

Kate, Will, Elizabeth

“There’s a window in place,” a royal insider tells Us Weekly, adding that Kate and Prince William are hoping to conceive their first-born child anytime between the final leg of their royal tour in September 2012 and Summer 2013.

If that sounds rigid … it is. But “they’re so excited!” says the source.

This summer, the duo will be the de facto emcees for the 2012 Olympics held in London, and will be taking a royal Asia-Pacific tour in September … but sounds like they will be having a LOT of fun after that!

Their ideal scenario, supposedly? A New Year Day’s announcement, with the glowing Duchess just hitting the three-month mark in her pregnancy.

No pressure, Kate.
