In exciting royal news, Pippa Middleton’s brother-in-law Spencer Matthews and his wife Vogue Williams are expecting their second child.

The couple, who also have an 18-month-old son Theodore, are due to welcome their new baby in the British summer.

And the duo already know the gender of their happy new addition.

Revealing the news to HELLO!, the pair confirmed Vogue is five and a half months pregnant with a baby girl.

“We’re delighted. It’s so exciting but kind of scary to think we’re going to have another newborn,” she told the publication.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the couple, who opened up about their struggle to fall pregnant the second time around.

“It was certainly a different path for us this time, so it’s really nice to be here and talking about it now,” Vogue explained.

The pair had decided to keep things under wraps for a little longer than usual, after the mum-of-one found out she suffered from polycystic ovary syndrome, which can make it more difficult to fall pregnant.

“We just had a few bumps in the road this time around and it just wasn’t as straightforward as it was with Theodore,” she said.

Spencer added that the pair had been slightly concerned when “a bit of time had passed” without Vogue falling pregnant.

“I wouldn’t say alarm bells were going off, but we did wonder how we could make it work a bit more efficiently,” he said.

But now that Vogue is five and a half months along, the excitement is mounting.

Speaking of names, Spencer said there are some “cool, exotic” names that are lending themselves as possible options.

“I think you can be fresh, and new and different, but it has got a bit silly in a few cases. So we’ll try and rein it in.”

The couple are over the moon to be welcoming a new addition to their family.

Kate Middleton’s younger sister Pippa is married to James Matthews, who is Spencer’s older brother.

Pippa and James have a two-year-old son Arthur, who will no doubt enjoy having another cousin to play with.

Arthur and Theodore are undoubtedly already thick as thieves, as brothers James and Spencer remain close to this day.

Congratulations to the parents-to-be!
