William uses the F-word

After a hiatus of, oooh, two weeks at least, the royal baby watch is back on after Prince William told Katie Couric, in the ABC special screened last night, that he wants to have children.

I know! He really does!

Prince William told Katie he was still deciding whether to sign up for another three years with the Royal Air Force or leave the military to assume royal duties full time.

He said had been enjoying his time in the Air Force but and he would love to continue it but, "the pressures of my other life are building", adding: "More importantly, I'd like to have children. I'm just very keen to have a family and both Catherine and I are looking forward to having a family in the future."

When pressed by newshound Couric, looking for the scoop of a lifetime, if there was any news he would like to share, William said: "You won't get anything out of me. Tight-lipped."
