Babies, babies and more babies

There must be something in the water in 2018 with many, many royal babies being born.

The first of the royal babies born this year was to Prince Hamzah of Jordan, and his second wife Princess Basmah. On February 7th they became proud parents to Princess Nafisa. The little girl joins her siblings Princess Haya from Hamzah's first marriage, as well as Princesses Zein, Noor and Badiya from her father's current marriage. Little Nafisa is not in the line of succession.

 The second of these royal children was born to Princess Madeleine of Sweden on March 9th. Princess Madeleine and her husband Christopher O'Neill welcomed a beautiful little girl, Princess Adrienne into their family. Adrienne joins older siblings Princess Leonore and Prince Nicolas. The baby princess is 10th in line to the Swedish Throne.


Leonore and Nicolas welcoming their little sister to the world. 

The third royal bub of 2018 is the daughter of Prince Malik of Brunei. Prince Malik is the son of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and is 5th in line to the throne. He and his wife Raab'iatul welcomed their second daughter Princess Fathiyyah. Fathiyyah joins her older sister Muthee'ah. The girls are  not in the line of succession.

The fouth baby to grace us with their presence in 2018 has been the third child of Andrea Casiraghi and his wife Tatiana. Like the Swedes this is their third child, they are already parents to Alexandre 'Sasha' and India. On the 19th April 2018 they welcomed a second son, Max Rainier Casiraghi. Max is 8th in line to the throne of Monaco.

The ffith child is one we've all been waiting for, the third child of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. All things come in three this year I guess! On April 23rd 2018 they welcomed a son who is yet to be named (stay tuned). The little Prince of Cambridge joins siblings Prince George, and Princess Charlotte. He is fifth in line to the throne. This little one is the 6th great grandchild for Queen Elizabeth II.

I'm Baaaaaaack!!!

                           I'm Baaaack!!!

 I haven't blogged in ages. So many things have happened in the royal world since I last blogged. Working a full time job (I'm a high school teacher), maintaining a long distance relationship and joining the board of my Synagogue has taken up much of my free time. 

 I love The Royal families of the world, and I love blogging about them. I have decided to make time to continue my hobby despite still working full time, still a member of the board, and still in a relationship (albeit not long distance anymore). 

 Thank you all for being so patient with me whilst I was on hiatus. I hope to continue to entertain and inform you all with royal news.

 Liat
xoxo
