Source: Chris Jackson / Getty Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expecting their first. Yes, we’re sharing this because the latter is bi-racial and we’re claiming the Nubian Queen who has infiltrated the Royal Family (via love, of course). Early this morning (Oct. 15), Kensington revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, respectively, have a bun in the oven that’s due in Spring 19. Per Buzzfeed, the child will be 7th in line to the throne after Harry’s dad, Prince Charles, his brother, Prince William, William’s three children, and then Harry himself.

The world may be anxiously awaiting the birth of Kate Middleton’s third child , but we’d like to take a moment and pay tribute to her second child. Not because there’s anything wrong with Princess Charlotte, of course. But because there’s so much right with the two-year old. Namely, she is REALLY cute! On Monday morning, the toddler started her run at Willcocks Nursery School, which is situated next door to London’s Royal Albert Hall and which is very close to her family’s Kensington Palace home. In recognition of the life milestone, the Royal Family unveiled two new portraits of Charlotte, who turns three years old on May 2. And, in a fun little twist, both were snapped by Middleton herself! “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share two photographs of Princess Charlotte at Kensington Palace this morning,” said a Palace spokesman along with the snapshots, adding: “The images were taken by The Duchess shortly before Princess Charlotte left for her first day of nursery at the Willcocks Nursery School.” Seriously, Kate, it’s not enough for you to be beautiful, fashionable, and, by all accounts, charitable and kind? You must be an ace photographer as well?!? Charlotte posed for the very cute photos on the steps outside her Kensington Palace residence, holding on to a railing in the picture immediately above. The tiny Royal donned a $150 burgundy Razorbil wool coat by Amaia and paired itwith stone-colored tights, red shoes and a matching red bow. She carried a pink backpack by Cath Kidston. Saying of Charlotte’s famous parents, an insider told People Magazine: “They chose [this school] because they thought it would be an ideal first step for Charlotte’s education and they were impressed by the team who work there.” Makes sense. That’s basically why any parents would choose any school. Charlotte’s older brother, Prince George, started nursery school at the same age as Charlotte, back in in January of 2016. (He’s now four years old . How crazy is that?!?) George attended a Montessori school just a short drive from the family’s country house, Anmer Hall. He began his educational life on a part-time basis, however, while Charlotte will be attending full time. She’s clearly serious about school already. This is all very exciting, of course. And we wish Charlotte the best. But the real exciting news for her parents is that they are about to become parents again ! She’s due in April and may be having twins , which, if true, would more or less cause the Internet to explode. And right after Kate gives birth, Prince Harry will marry Meghan Markle. Indeed, it’s a very busy time for members of the Royal Family. Be sure to bookmark The Hollywood Gossip in order to be kept apprised of all their movements, marriages, births and more!

Prince William is leaving the armed forces after more than seven years to focus on royal duties and charity work, Kensington Palace said Thursday. William was a pilot with the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Force. Known to his RAF comrades as Flight Lt. Wales, he had been stationed at a search-and-rescue base on the remote Welsh island of Anglesey since 2010. He has lived there with Kate Middleton and now Prince George. Prince William to Leave Military In the next few weeks, the family will move into their official residence at Kensington Palace, as William considers a “number of options” for public service. For now, the 31-year-old will focus on his royal duties. He will also expand on his conservation work, dealing particularly with endangered species. First off, Kensington Palace announced that the new father will become president of a newly formed collaboration among seven environmental groups. United for Wildlife will focus on fighting the illegal wildlife trade. William will also focus on charities that deal with children, veterans and service members. William’s final search and rescue duty was Tuesday. “He and his crew had an uneventful 24 hour shift,” the defense ministry said. “He has earned the respect of all who have worked with him as a highly professional and competent pilot.” “Throughout his tour his airmanship, often in the most demanding of conditions, has contributed directly to saving lives in the mountains of North Wales and from the ravages of the Irish Sea.”
