The British Royal Family is set to welcome a new addition after a joyful pregnancy announcement from one of its younger members.
A Heartfelt Social Media Announcement
Flora Vesterberg, formerly known as Flora Alexandra Ogilvy, shared the happy news with her followers on Instagram on Monday, January 19, 2026. In her post, the granddaughter of Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, expressed that both she and her husband are "truly over the moon" as they await the arrival of their first child together.
The announcement has sparked celebration among royal watchers and well-wishers, marking another chapter for the wider royal family. Flora, who is the daughter of Princess Alexandra's son, James Ogilvy, and his wife Julia, has often maintained a lower public profile than some of her more senior cousins.
Continuing the Royal Line
This pregnancy news represents a continuation of the family line of Princess Alexandra, a first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Princess Alexandra, now in her eighties, remains a working royal and is known for her extensive charity work. The arrival of a great-grandchild will be a particularly special moment for her.
Flora Vesterberg married financier Timothy Vesterberg in a beautiful ceremony in 2022. The couple's journey to parenthood is now being warmly celebrated by friends, family, and the public who follow the lives of the extended royal family.
Reaction and Next Steps
While the palace has not yet issued an official statement, the personal nature of Flora's Instagram announcement reflects the modern way many younger royals now choose to communicate significant life events. The news quickly spread across social media and news outlets, with many expressing their congratulations.
This will be the first child for the couple, and details regarding the baby's due date, title, or where the birth will take place have not been publicly disclosed. It is expected that, following tradition, a formal announcement will be made after the baby is born.
The wider Royal Family, including King Charles III, is understood to be delighted by the news. It adds to a period of family growth and comes as a welcome positive story for the monarchy. As the pregnancy progresses, public interest will undoubtedly follow this exciting new chapter for Flora Vesterberg and her growing family.
