St James's Palace announces that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby
As we've been hearing the news of the royal pregnancy continues to dominate the headlines around the world.
But here in Wales there is speculation that we could have a Princess -- rather than a Prince of Wales -- for the first time in modern history -- if the first born child is a girl.
Earlier tonight the government confirmed they are pressing ahead with a law to scrap discrimination against women in the line of succession. Rob Osborne has more.
New laws on the future of the monarchy could lead the way to a Princess of Wales if the Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to a girl. That's one option that could follow from plans to change the laws of succession.
The news comes as the Duchess spends a second day in hospital as she's treated for accute morning sickness. Meanwhile, the people of Anglesey are coming to terms with the news about gaining another royal neighbour, as Rob Shelley reports.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the government has received final consent from all Commonwealth realms to press ahead with a bill ending discrimination against women in the succession to the British throne.
