According to reports today, the second child of Prince William and wife Kate will be celebrated with the release of a new £5 coin.
As fourth-in-line to the royal throne, the commemorative coin will give a special acknowledgement to the prince or princess.
The plans follow a similar celebration for Prince George's birth in 2013, with the Royal Mint producing 10,000 solid silver crown-sized £5 coins. At a cost of £80 each, it appears that this was one for the die-hard collectors!
The Duchess herself confirmed last week that her second child is due in 'mid- to late April', although she has continued to make a number of official appearances as part of her royal duties.
A number of publications in the US released false reports last week that the Duchess had already given birth to the baby, claiming that she had experience a 'dramatic delivery'.
It's going to be an exciting few weeks!
