Princess Sophie-Alexandra of Bavaria and her husband, Prince Ludwig, are expecting their first child, as reported by German newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine. The 35-year-old Princess hinted at her pregnancy during a recent speech about the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals, mentioning that she would be unable to participate in a fundraiser in September due to her nearing due date.
Prince Ludwig, in line to become the future head of the House of Wittelsbach, is the great-great-grandson of King Ludwig III, the last King of Bavaria. Despite the monarchy's dissolution in 1918, the Bavarian royal family has continued ceremoniously. Prince Ludwig, who studied law in Germany and has been involved in various non-profit organizations in rural Kenya, also carries out representative and honorary duties in Bavaria.
