The Royal Family has officially announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their second child.
Prince William and Princess Catherine, both 32, already have one child – George – who was born on the 22nd of July, 2013.
The new baby will become fourth in line to the throne – moving poor Prince Harry to fifth in line. The Duke of York is now sixth in line and Beatrice and Eugenie are seventh and eighth, respectively.
Some reports are suggesting Kate is eight weeks’ pregnant, but those reports are unconfirmed.
The news of Royal Baby #2 was first broken by British Prime Minister David Cameron.
He tweeted:
Many congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. I’m delighted by the happy news that they’re expecting another baby.

lol @ 'Poor Harry' Hardly, the more degrees that separate him from the throne and royal duty, the happier he is. Neither one of those boys have been gunning for the crown. It's a bit of a gilded cage. It is well-known that William was sad to leave behind his RAF career for the position he was born into and obliged to carry out.
I know I have no legitimate reason to care, but I am so happy for them and excited! They seem so well suited and nice, and make adorable babies.
