There’s a(nother) royal stork on the way

A new little royal is in the works!

No, no, not Kate (Jeez, give a girl a break!).

This time around it is Sweden’s Princess Sofia and her husband, Prins Carl Philip, that have just announced they are expecting their first child. The new royal is due in April of next year according to an official statement from the Swedish Royal Court.

Princess Sofia married her prince back in June,  and she’ll be able to share in the pregnancy joy with her sister-in-law, Crown Princess Victoria, who is also expecting a baby in the new year.

The newborn, when he or she arrives, will be fifth in line to succession to the Swedish throne.

The royals are thought to have delayed the announcement until now to avoid distracting attention from the Christening of little Prince Nicolas (Princess Madelaine’s son) earlier this month.

Between George and Charlotte (we are slightly obsessed!) and all these new Scandi princes and princesses, it’s just getting too much with all this royal cuteness!
