Charles, who is second-in-line to the throne after his father, was born on 10 May 2020 at the Grand Duchess Charlotte Maternity Hospital in Luxembourg City.

In 2021, the little one was christened surrounded by members of close family.

The ceremony took place at the L’Abbaye de St Maurice in Luxembourg, and Charles could be seen wearing a traditional white christening gown in photos released by the royals that day.

In a statement released on the Luxembourg royal family's website that month, the couple said: "We were very touched by the countless messages, gifts and the generosity of the gifts we received on the birth of our son Charles. We thank you very much.

"Thanks to the generosity of your donations, we will be able to support two projects that are dear to our hearts: the creation of an inclusive playground in Esch-sur-Alzette, and a project to combat child famine in South Sudan, project managed by Caritas Luxembourg."

We're sure they are delighted that soon they will have another adorable addition to add to their beautiful family.

Princess Stéphanie returned to royal duties just two months after giving birth to her son, but we wonder whether the royal will take a longer period of time off for baby number two. We shall see!
