Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and his wife Princess Stéphanie are expecting their first child in the spring.

The Princess' baby bump was evident at the Palace's New Year reception last week as she greeted a number of dignitaries invited to the palace.

The couple announced their happy news on 6 December, seven years after their wedding in October 2012. Their first child is due in May.
