The Countess of Mornington expecting

The Countess of Mornington is expecting twins in the New Year, according to press reports. The Countess is married to the Earl of Mornington, the son of the Marquess and Marchioness of Douro. The Marquess is the heir apparent to the Wellington Dukedom.
Lord and Lady Mornington do not know the sex of the twins. Only males can inherit the titles.
Lady Mornington is better known as the make-up artist Jemma Kidd. She runs a make-up school, the Jemma Kidd Make Up School, in Notting Hill. (Here in the US, the Jemma Kidd make up line is sold at Target.)

The twins will be descendants of Queen Victoria, as the Marchioness of Douro is also HRH Princess Antonia of Prussia, a great-granddaughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
