It was announced today that The Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant and expecting her second child.
Whilst it is not going to be the groundbreaking event like last year that caused more than just a flurry in the media, no doubt much attention will be garnered as the weeks and months progress.
In a similar vein to her first child, the pregnancy has had to be revealed early due to Catherine's bouts of violent morning sickness that have caused royal officials to cancel some of her obligations.
Another royal birth signals the increasing distance between Prince Harry and the throne; when the child is born he will demoted another place to fifth in line, behind his father Prince Charles, his brother William, and William's son George and the next arrival.
