It's no secret that Prince William and Kate Middleton's vision for future is a "slimmed down" monarchy, but they might be getting a little more than they wished for in that department.

Unfortunately, according to one royal expert, the future king might be "running out of royals" to ask to take on the honor (and duty and busy schedule) of senior working royal.
