Princess Charlene of Monaco is reportedly expecting twins with husband, Prince Albert.

The news that the royals are expecting two bundles of joy was first reported by Hello magazine.

Since the Palace confirmed Charlene’s pregnancy back in May, rumours have been circulating that the South African-born Princess was expecting two babies.

The former Olympic swimmer, 36, who married the heir to the throne in 2011 spoke to the magazine about her pregnancy while in New York for the Clinton Global Citizen Awards.

“I feel absolutely great,” she said.

Albert, the son of Princess Grace, has a daughter and a son from previous relationships – Jazmin Grace Grimaldi and Alexandre Coste.

Last year, Princess Charlene spoke about her decision to get settled before having children.

“We had a big wedding. It was a big adjustment after that. Now I’m settled and I think kids will come,” she told South African newspaper, Sunday World, in May 2013.
