The couple, who married in May 2017, attended Princess Eugenie’s wedding on Friday.

The little boy is the cousin of future King Prince George, five, his brother Prince Louis, five months, and their sister Princess Charlotte, three.

Sister Kate gave birth to her third child Prince Louis on 23 April 2018. Pippa was in the same ward as Kate.

The news comes after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they were expecting their first child in Spring 2019 (Mar-May), just hours after they landed in Australia for their royal tour.
