SQUEE!! Prince William‘s wife was admitted before 6 a.m. (in the United Kingdom) and is set to give birth at the same hospital where she welcomed Prince George and Princess Charlotte into the world.
The arrival of Willam and Kate’s third child, means Prince Harry is bumped from fifth in line to the throne. Once the little royal is born, the line of succession will go — Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, unnamed Windsor kiddo, etc.
We’re honestly so excited for William and Kate, especially since it feels like it was only yesterday that they were confirming their third pregnancy. In actuality, the pair announced in September that they were expecting again. Time certainly flies, doesn’t it???
