His Royal Highness King Charles III is expecting a baby in the royal family, with Lady Tatiana Mountbatten announcing her pregnancy in June.
Lady Tatiana posted on her Instagram yesterday practically glowing when she celebrated her friend’s 30th birthday with a growing baby bump.

Tatiana Mountbatten is the eldest child of George Mountbatten, the 4th Marquess of Milford Haven.
She has a passion for horses just like the late Queen, studying under famous equestrian trainers Hasse Hoffamann, Klaus Balkenhol, Kyra Kyrklund, and currently under Charlotte Dujardin.
Lady Tatiana is still chasing her dreams during pregnancy, training to become a psychotherapist.

Tatiana is a distant cousin to King Charles III due to their fathers. As her great-grandfather George Mountbatten was an uncle of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, King Charles’s father.
The Mountbatten has ties to not only the British royal family, but also the now-defunct royal families in Germany and Russia. Due to her paternal ancestors Louis II, Grand Duke of Hesse and Nicholas I of Russia.
So although Lady Tatiana’s baby is low on the line of succession, he or her will still inherit multiple royal bloodlines and titles.
Plus Lady Tatiana’s stepbrother Harry Wentworth Stanley even married Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend, Cressida Bonas!
