Britain's Prince William revealed for the first time Wednesday that he wants to have two children with his wife, Kate, as crowds turned out in Singapore on the second day of the couple's visit to mark the Queen's diamond jubilee.
The revelation of the future king's prospects for fatherhood came during a chat with bystanders, in which he was asked how many children he wanted.
"He said he was thinking about having two," said Corine Ackermann, 17, who was with school friends as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge toured the Gardens by the Bay, the island state's newly opened tourist attraction.
William has said previously he wanted to start a family, but he had never detailed how many heirs he desired.
About 3,000 people, including about 50 children from the Tanglin Trust British School, came out to the attraction to cheer.
Jaz Heber Percy, 13, asked William what power he would like to have if he could be a superhero.
"That's a hard question," William said. "I'm not sure. I'll have to think about it. I think invisibility."
When the same question was posed to his wife, she said that she too would pick invisibility so that the prince "could not sneak up on her." - dpa
