What wonderful news. After seven years of marriage, Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie of Luxembourg is expecting a baby in May. Luxembourg's succession law is gender equal, which means that if Stephanie gives birth to a daughter, she will remain in second place (and future Grand Duchess) even if she has younger brothers.
This will be the fifth grandchild for Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa. Prince Felix and Princess Claire have two children, Princess Amalia and Prince Liam of Nassau and Prince Louis and his former wife, Tessy Antony, have two sons, Prince Gabriel and Prince Noah of Nassau.
The current line of succcession is Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, Prince Felix, Princess Amalia, Prince Liam, Princess Alexandra and Prince Sebastien.
Prince Louis and his two sons do not have dynastic rights as Louis renounced his rights before Gabriel was born.
Countess Stephanie de Lannoy and Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume were married on October 20, 2012.
The couple had been living in London since September 2018 as the Hereditary Grand Duke was taking classes at the Royal College of Defence Studies. Guillaume told RTL tonight:
"We have been expecting this moment for a long time, and now it is here. The people are enthusiastic, they are happy for us and of course that makes us very happy."
Stephanie added: "We are happy to be here as three."
The couple have moved in Schloss Fischbach.

As sexist as it is I'm hoping for a boy so that the bourbon line will continue
