Royal Family News 2015: Queen Elizabeth Thinks Kate Middleton Should Have More Royal Duties Despite Pregnancy? [VIDEO]
She may be seven months pregnant and be preparing to have two kids under the age of two, but Queen Elizabeth may think that is no excuse for a lack of royal duties for Kate Middleton.

On Saturday, Inquisitr reported that Queen Elizabether and Kate Middleton may not be seeing eye-to-eye on how much time Middleton should dedicate to Royal functions.
The Duchess of Cambridge has not only been pregnant and a mother already, but she has also suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum during her pregnancy that has caused debilitating nausea and vomiting.
The two are reportedly going to be at an event this month that will focus on how young people will be raised, which could deem complicated for the two since they have apparently not agreed on some parenting decisions in the past.
"The queen raised her voice as she clashed with Kate and Prince William about how they raised their child. Kate couldn't bear it any longer and walked out. Kate wants to do things her own way and wants the queen to stay out of her baby's life, and the queen is furious. She's sticking to her guns about the new baby. She knows just how she wants to raise the child and won't let anyone interfere, especially not the queen," a source allegedly said.
Inquisitr reported that the biggest argument going on right now between the two is that Middleton would like to move in with her mother following the birth of her second royal child, but the Queen seems to prefer that she stay at home and hire a baby nurse.
The Middletons did not hire a nanny for their first son until he was 3-months-old.
With this controversy, the Queen seems to think Middleton should be performing more royal duties.
Daily Mail reported that the Duchess of Cambridge has carried out only 76 total public engagements in the last year. That may sound like a lot, but compared to 93-year-old Prince Phillip who went to 200 events, it definitely sounds miniscule.
The Queen herself, who is 88-years-old, attended the most with 375. Middleton's total is barely a fifth of the number attended by the Queen who would sometimes attend six or more each day. Out of the 15 royals, Middleton performed the fewest public duties.
