Congratulations! ANOTHER royal bundle of joy is officially en route

They married in a gorgeous ceremony in Stockholm in June… and now Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia have confirmed that she is pregnant. Hurrah!

Taking to Facebook to make the official announcement, the pair wrote that their little bundle of joy is expected to arrive in April of next year – which means only one thing: honeymoon baby! 

"We are so happy and excited to announce that we are expecting our first child," they wrote in a statement.

"We are very much looking forward to it."

The Swedish royal palace also revealed on Facebook that the two have not made any alterations to their planned public appearances schedule in light of the happy news.

Sofia, 30, and Carl-Philip, 36, dated for five years before walking down the aisle in June and live together in the upmarket Djurgården district of Stockholm.

He is the second child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, while she is from a non-aristocratic background. 

And it will certainly be a busy time for royal grandparents Carl and Silvia: the prince's elder sister, Princess Victoria, 38, is also currently pregnant and due to give birth to her second child in March.

Meanwhile, youngest child Princess Madeleine, 33, already has two children – most recently giving birth in June.
