"She thinks a month is more than enough time for Kate to take off before she should return to performing her royal duties," a source told US OK! magazine.

This comes shortly after the Prince William revealed his daughter has been giving him sleepless nights.
The news emerged when he visited the England Women's football team at St George's Park in Staffordshire, where he met captain Steph Houghton, who said: "All the girls were asking how Princess Charlotte is and Prince George and whether they keep him up all night ... He was saying he's obviously really enjoying being a father and Princess Charlotte is actually keeping him up - and probably why his eyes are looking a little bit tired."
