According to Hello! Magazine's royal editor Emily Nash: "This baby will be born into very different family dynamics to those experienced by his or her older siblings. Although their grandmother Sarah and grandfather Andrew have spent plenty of time with August and Ernest, they are likely to keep more of a distance this time around, although I'm sure that Sarah will find it very hard to stay away from a new grandchild."

Speaking of King Charles, the expert added: "The King's warm words show that he still has a great deal of affection for Eugenie and that he has not ostracised his nieces. We might well start seeing them at family gatherings again."

This comes after statement from Buckingham Palace read: "His Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news."
