It is very early days - the announcement has only been made due to the Duchess having sudden and severe morning sickness.
If all goes well, however, the child will be third in line to the throne - no more of the Heir Presumptive if a girl. The rules were changed, and the first born inherits.

As far as I know, it's not law yet. All the Commonwealth Realms have to agree first. I believe that the timeline is for sometime in the Spring.

I only wish that mother and child are well - the rest is irrelevant. At least she has the best treatment in the land - unlike so many others in the same situation.

I can tell you from personal experience that all the money in the world will not guarantee a healthy delivery and/or a healthy child. I only wish the couple, and particularly the Duchess, all the best.

The record since the days of Queen Anne is pretty good in that respect apart from the ectopic pregnancy of the Countess of Wessex in 2001.
But I am sure that many of us will still send them our best wishes.

It is not law yet in all the Commonwealth Realms - and it needs to be to take effect. Yes the heads of government all agreed, but that is not the same as enacting law.

This is how I understand it as well. Enacting legislation has not yet been introduced in Canada. Our news sources here say that it hasn't been enacted in the UK yet either. That said, I don't think there is any doubt about it eventually taking effect, hopefully before the happy event!
