Royal births abound this year! Lady Davina Lewis, daughter of the Duke of Gloucester, has just given birth to her first child, and her sister Rose is expecting her first child in July. Now the ever-handsome Peter Phillips has announced that his wife Autumn is also expecting.

Due this December, the baby will be the first great-grandchild for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. It is touching that Peter is the first one of their grandchildren to have a child of his own – he was the Queen’s first grandchild, the son of HRH Princess Anne.

There were a few raised eyebrows over the sale of Peter and Autumn’s wedding photos to Hello! magazine. Married in 2008, the couple gave Hello! exclusive access and were paid a considerable sum of money for allowing the magazine to publish their photos. The Court and the Family were less than thrilled, so I wonder if the couple will allow a photo shoot with the new baby?

Congratulations to the Royal Family and especially to Peter and Autumn.
