Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, are expecting their third child, Kensington Palace announced on Monday.
“Their royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child,” the palace statement read.
“The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news,” it added.
The newest tiny royal will be a sibling to four-year-old Prince George and two-year-old Princess Charlotte, the royal couple’s first two children.
We still don’t know whether the child is a boy or a girl, but the baby will become the fifth in line to the throne behind big sister Charlotte, bumping Prince Harry down the line of succession.
A change in law after William and Kate wed gave women the same rights of accession to the throne as men.
The child will be Queen Elizabeth’s sixth great-grandchild.
We would like to congratulate Prince William and Kate Middleton on this great news. Will be updating you with further news.
