The pregnancy had to be announced earlier than the usual 12-week-mark due to the fact she has treatment against HG again, as with her first pregnancy.

It is not sure yet whether she's going on her first solo trip to Malta as announced some weeks earlier.

Princess Charlene is expecting her first child!

The Palace announced today that Princess Charlene is pregnant! She and Prince Albert are expecting their first child at the end of the year.

Madeleine's outfits during pregnancy

Since the baby came earlier than I expected, the review over Madeleine's pregnancy fashion comes a little later.

Princess Madeleine is pregnant!

The Swedish Royal Court announced this morning that Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill are expecting a child in March 2014.

Official announcement of the Court:

The Princess Couple is expecting a child

Princess Madeleine and Mr. Christopher O'Neill are delighted to announce that The Princess is expecting their first child. 

The birth is expected to take place in beginning of March of 2014. 

No changes to the schedule of The Princess's engagements and work for Childhood are planned during the fall of 2013.

Waiting for the Royal Baby!

According to some papers and rumours, Duchess Catherine's due date is in mid-July. July 13th was written in many magazines but of course never confirmed. I didn't even wanted to post this so soon, as I guessed July 16th as birthday for the little Prince or Princess but apparently helicopters have been seen over Kensington Palace and the rumour is Kate is in labour right now. As I said, just a rumour ;) There won't be any official announcement before tomorrow morning anyway, so let's have a look at what Kate wore during the last 9 months.

Kate's baby is due in July!

The British Royal House announced today that the baby of Prince William and Duchess Catherine will be born in July.

Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in July.

The Duchess's condition continues to improve since her stay in hospital last month.

William at King Edward II hospital + succession rule will be changed!

It was Prince William who decided to drive Kate to the hospital. Yesterday he was pictured leaving the hospital after another visit. So far, he is the only visitor.



According to Max Foster (CNN) Kate and William drove together to hospital in London from Bucklebury where they were staying with the Middletons in their new manor.

And right in time, the Royal Succession rule will be changed. As the Deputy Prime Minister announced,

"the legislation will end the principle of male primogeniture, so that men will no longer take precedence over women in line to the throne, and end the bar on anyone in the line of succession marrying a Roman Catholic."

The new rules will apply to any baby born in the line of succession, taking effect after the Prime Minister made the announcement in Perth, Australia, at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in October 2011.

Quote of the Deputy Prime Minister:

“This is a historic moment for our country and our Monarchy. People across the realms of the Commonwealth will be celebrating the news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first child.”

We can also all celebrate that whether the baby is a boy or a girl, they will have an equal claim to the throne. It’s a wonderful coincidence that the final confirmation from the other realms arrived on the very day that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made their announcement.

The Government will soon introduce the Succession to the Crown Bill which will make our old fashioned rules fit for the 21st Century. It will write down in law what we agreed back in 2011 – that if the Duke and Duchess Cambridge have a baby girl, she can one day be our Queen even if she later has younger brothers.

Duchess Catherine is expecting her first child!

It was announced today that Duchess Catherine is expecting her first child!

Official announcement of the British Royal Court:

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE ARE EXPECTING A BABY

Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby.

The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news.

The Duchess was admitted this afternoon to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with Hyperemesis Gravidarum. As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter.

Hyperemesis Gravidarum is very acute morning sickness, which requires supplementary hydration and nutrients.

The couple had no plans to announce the pregnancy but say they have no choice in view of hospitalisation. 'Difficult decision' palace says. 

Catherine isn't even 12 weeks along, the inofficial time when the Palace announces a pregnancy. This is why no birth date is given.

Waiting for the little Swedish Prince or Princess

Crown Princess Victoria is officially due in March, probably in the beginning. In an interview a week ago, she told that the baby is about to come in late February. And also Queen Silvia said lately that "it's only a matter of days".
At Karolinska hospitalet in Stockholm six police officers are preparing roadblocks at the parking lot for the media, although they say, they don't know if Victoria is going to give birth there. She could also opt for a home birth.

In the Swedish Royal Calender she has an engagement tomorrow - lunch at the Royal Palace. Let's hope we get so see some pictures, if she attends, because this isn't a public engagement.

In the meantime, let's have a look at her fashion during her pregnancy.

Marie at hospital for checkup

Princess Marie and Prince Joachim have been seen at the hospital yesterday evening, where they have been for a routine checkup. They drove home about an hour later.
The Royal Court is still refering to a birth date in late January.

Princess Marie ready to give birth

Since the Danish Court often adds two weeks to the actual birth date which is now officially the end of January, Marie is likely to give birth in mid-January, which means it's not longer than one or two weeks to wait.
Accoring to Danish magazine BilledBladet the Rigshospitalet is prepared and expecting Marie any day now. The chosen doctors and nurses are told to be available every time now.

So let's have a look at her pregnancy outfits during the last months.

Princess Marie is pregnant!

Only some days after the announcement of the first pregnancy of Crown Princess Victoria, the Danish Royal Court announced that Princess Marie is pregnant with her second child.

Waiting for the stork to come

The twins still don't want to come.
As spokeswoman of the Danish Court Lene Balleby recently said: "The birth happens when it happens. There is no timetable," Crown Princess Mary has been seen at Amalienborg in Copenhagen rather relaxed. She was talking on the phone to someone and on the other day taking the dog out with Christian and Isabella.
