Congratulations to Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco on the news this past Friday that the royal couple are expecting their first child together since marrying in 2011.
The royal family confirmed that the former Olympic swimmer from South Africa and the eldest son of Prince Rainier and the late Princess Grace will welcome their baby by year’s end.
This will be Albert’s third child, but only this baby will be in line for the throne since Albert’s other two children, daughter Jazmin Grace Grimaldi and son Alexandre Coste were born out of wedlock from previous relationships and cannot be heirs to the throne.
