July 12, 1938

After "dismissing rumors without comment for two weeks," Dutch court officials today acknowledged that Crown Princess Juliana is expecting a second baby. The due date has not been announced, but it believed that the Princess will give birth in February.
On January 21 of this year, Crown Princess Juliana gave birth to her first child, Princess Beatrix, who is second in line to the throne. Should the Crown Princess give birth to a son, little Princess will move down a notch in the succession.
The Crown Princess is "reported to be good health," according to the New York Times dispatch. She and her family will spend their August holiday cruising the Baltic Sea.
