The couple, who married in 2013, are already parents to three-year-old Princess Leonore, and two-year-old Prince Nicolas. In an interview with Swedish newspaper Expressen last year, O’Niell hinted that the couple were planning more children, saying:

“We want to have more children. Both of us want a big family. One or two more in future, absolutely!”

Madeleine and O'Niell have announced that Princess Leonore will be attending preschool in Sweden. “HRH Princess Madeleine and her family permanently reside in London. However, they regularly spend longer periods in Sweden,” the press officer said. “The Princess feels that her children should have a strong connection with Sweden. She wants them to feel at home here just as she does.”

Madeleine’s brother, Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia are also expecting. They’re getting ready to welcome their second child, who will join big brother Prince Alexander, one - meaning plenty of play time for the new little bubs!
