Congratulations are in order for Prince Amedeo and Princess Elisabetta of Belgium, who have welcomed their third child, a little girl called Alix.
Announcing the news on social media, the Belgian Royal Palace confirmed: "Prince Amedeo and Princess Elisabetta are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter Alix. She was born in Brussels on Saturday 2 September, weighs 3.4 kg and, like her mother, is doing well. Their families share in this great joy."
The post also included an adorable photo of the bundle of joy, who was pictured sleeping soundly wearing a white baby grow with frilly collar. How precious!
The new baby was welcomed at Delta hospital in Auderghem at 5:29am on Saturday.
A family friend, Herve Verhoosel, gave some further information on the birth, revealing that Alix's brother and sister had already been into the hospital to greet her. Also explaining that upon leaving the hospital, the happy parents wholeheartedly thanked Dr. Pastijn, the entire Delta hospital maternity team as well as the management for their "excellent care".
The couple already have two children together, their firstborn Archduchess Anna Astrid, who was born in 2016, and their son Maximilian who came along in 2019.
Their eldest daughter and only son were both born at Saint-Pierre University Hospital in Brussels.

This year, the UK also celebrated a new baby born into the royal family – Princess Eugenie's second son, Ernest.
