Prince William and Kate Middleton Begin Life as a Family of 5: 'It Completes Them'
Prince William and Kate Middleton have begun life as a family of five.
“It completes them,” royal biographer Ingrid Seward tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. A friend of the couple notes that Kate, 36, “is one of three siblings, and it’s a good family size. Boy-girl-boy is pretty cool as well.”
Parenthood, the friend adds, “suits them really well. They are enjoying it and are very happy.”
For much more on the new royal family of five, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday
Big brother Prince George, 4, and big sister Princess Charlotte, who turns 3 on May 2, “are so excited,” says another friend. “Kate’s worried that Charlotte will feel it the hardest as the youngest, but she’s such a confident little girl and growing up so fast, Kate is hoping she will adjust.”
In Kate’s hometown of Bucklebury, “everyone around here is thrilled for them,” says a local. “It’s lovely that George and Charlotte have a little brother to play with, and Carole will be absolutely over the moon.”
With the new baby fifth in line for the throne, “hopefully, this little boy will be able to live a little outside the limelight,” says another Bucklebury villager. “We look forward to seeing him in the local park.”

Watch Avengers: Infinity War Cast Answer Adorable Questions from Kids
Robert Downey Jr, Chadwick Boseman, Elizabeth Olsen and more sat down with PEOPLE to answer some their youngest fans’ most burning questions. First up, 12-year-old Alex wanted to know which super-villain has the best sense of humor.
“Probably the Mandarin from Iron Man 3 because he wasn’t even really the super-villain he was saying he was,” said Downey Jr. “He was like some dumb actor playing the part. Kind of like, well, you can fill in the blanks.”
As for which other Avengers character the stars wish they could play, Boseman immediately knew his answer.

Meanwhile, Olsen said she’s looking for more action.
“I love my character but I want to fight more,” she said. “I really like feeling strong and powerful.”
And 5-year-old Caoimhe wanted to know what the Avengers eat to stay strong.

Kevin Smith Opens Up About Heart Attack — and Reveals the Surprising Song He Sang During Surgery
and he’s thanking the health scare for changing his lifestyle.
“Honestly, the heart attack was the best thing that ever happened to me,” Smith said during an appearance on Today, Monday.
The director was scheduled to perform two shows for a stand-up special in February when he was forced to cancel the second appearance over health concerns. The decision proved life-saving, as Smith revealed on social media at the time: “The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka ‘the Widow-Maker’). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground!”

The 47-year-old said he didn’t even know he’d had a heart attack until he was in the operating room. In fact, his pain was so low, he said, because “I got blazed before my show.”

Avicii Dead at 28 — A Look Back at 7 of His Biggest Hits, from 'Levels' to 'Wake Me Up'
“He was found dead in Muscat, Oman this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th,” a rep told PEOPLE in a statement of the EDM artist, born Tim Bergling. “The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given.”
Born in Stockholm, Avicii began releasing electronic dance music in 2008. He rose to international fame in 2011, thanks to his Grammy-nominated David Guetta collaboration “Sunshine.” The same year, he released his ubiquitous club hit “Levels” — which was later nominated for a Grammy — and “Collide,” a single with Leona Lewis.

The following year, Avicii and Nicky Romero dropped their smash collaboration “I Could Be the One.” In 2013, he released his biggest hit, the euphoric single “Wake Me Up,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. And over the years, Avicii worked with everyone from Lenny Kravitz and Madonna to Rita Ora, with whom he recorded “Lonely Together” last year.
