It’s an exciting day for the Royals! Just days after the family solemnly reflected on the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, the world is suddenly abuzz with news of a new addition to their ranks: Kate Middleton and Prince William’s third child!
The Royal couple announced today that Prince George and Princess Charlotte would soon be getting a little brother or sister, with the soon-to-be mommy of three reportedly less than three months along. While it’s traditional to wait to share the news until after the three-month mark, the family is said to have made an exception due to Middleton’s morning sickness, which caused her to cancel an engagement at the Hornsey Road Children’s Centre in London.
Needless to say, Twitter was in an absolute frenzy: Check out some of the joyous reactions to the happy update below!
