The British royal family officially has another member on the way thanks to Timothy and Flora Vesterberg, who announced their pregnancy news on January 19 on Instagram. The mother-to-be is the granddaughter of Princess Alexandra, who was a first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II.
“Delighted to share that Timothy and I are expecting our first child,” Flora wrote in her caption. “We’re truly over the moon.” She also credited her dad James Ogilvy for the photo of the happy couple and her growing bump.

Flora is an art historian and PhD student; her husband Timothy is a former professional hockey player who currently works in private equity. The couple tied the knot in 2020 at St. James’s Palace and had a second “blessing of the marriage” ceremony in 2021.
“The wedding ceremony was a very emotional and intimate experience that Timothy and I both feel incredibly grateful for,” Flora told Vogue at the time.

As for the line of succession, the couple’s baby is expected to be 62nd in line to the British throne (Flora is 61st in line). Last November, they had the royal version of a babymoon when they celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary at an art museum in Timothy’s homeland of Sweden. For the special occasion, Flora again tapped her wedding dress designer Phillipa Lepley—who also just so happened to create Kate Middleton’s hand-embroidered gown for the Trump state banquet.

“It was inspired by the Stockholm archipelago and was designed to move as fluidly as its waters,” Flora said of her bespoke anniversary look. “The soft blue slipper satin was reflective of their subtle tides—and that of the blue skies above.”
