Kate’s plans were announced shortly after it was revealed that family friend, the Duke of Westminster, is expecting his first child with his wife, Olivia.
A spokesperson for the couple shared in a statement: “The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are very pleased to share that the Duchess is expecting a baby in the summer. The couple are delighted with the news and are very much looking forward to starting a family together.”

Since their wedding, the Duke and Duchess have largely maintained a private life, even managing to stay out of the spotlight when attending the wedding of Olivia’s younger brother, Jasper Henson, in September 2024.
The intimate ceremony was held at the stunning Lupiana Monastery, just outside Madrid, where Jasper married Isabel Rodríguez-Legorburu.
King Charles’s godson first met Olivia in 2021 through mutual friends, and the couple announced their engagement two years later, in April 2023, with a casual photograph taken on the grounds of his family home, Eaton Hall in Cheshire.
