The couple\u2019s sons, August, five, and Ernest, two, are “very excited” to welcome a younger sister or brother to the family, the palace said on Monday. The announcement was accompanied by a picture of the two siblings holding a baby scan of the latest future royal arrival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It comes hours after Jack Brooksban celebrated his 40th birthday over the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The baby, who will not be an HRH, will be born 15th in line to the throne, with their great uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh, moving down to 16th place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He or she will also be the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and the third to be born since her death in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The new arrival will be the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, following the birth of Princess Beatrice<\/a>\u2019s daughter Athena Mapelli Mozzi in January last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Brooksbank celebrated his 40th birthday on Sunday, with the King\u2019s niece marking the occasion by sharing photographs on her Instagram<\/a> story of her husband relaxing on a beach with the caption \u201chappy 40th my love\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The pair married in St George\u2019s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in October 2018, and welcomed their first child, August, on February 9 2021. His younger brother Ernest was born on May 30 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
