Prince William on starting a family with Kate Middleton

London, Nov 17 (ANI): Prince William and his fiancee Kate Middleton have opened up a little about their plans to start a family.

Sitting together, the duo appeared for an interview to ITV News' political editor Tom Bradby, who's reportedly a close friend to the prince.

On asking about Kate's close bonding with the family, she replied, "Yes. It's very important to me. And I hope we will be able to have a happy family ourselves. They've been great over the years - helping me with difficult times. They are very, very dear to me."

Thereafter, the anchor asked the prince if they wish to have a lot of children.

"I think we'll take it one step at a time. We'll sort of get over the marriage first and then maybe look at the kids. But obviously we want a family so we'll have to start thinking about that," the Daily Mail quoted William as telling Bradby.

The couple, who has been dating for more than 8 years, also talked about other aspects of their relationship during the interview. (ANI)
