Looks like Princess Stephanie of Monaco’s son, Louis Ducruet, 31, is going to be a proud dad of two. 

A few days ago, Ducruet and his wife, Marie Chevalier, surprised their Instagram followers by revealing the gender of their second child. In an array of photos shared on their separate accounts, the soon-to-be parents of two can be seen celebrating at a gender reveal party. 

The first pic of the slideshow shows Ducruet, Marie and their one-year-old daughter, Victoire, standing under a banner that reads “He or She.” And the couple shared the big reveal in the caption, writing, It's gonna be a... GIRL [pink flower emoji].”

The royal couple announced they were expecting another child back in June. At the time, the couple posted two photos featuring Victoire and their dog Pancake on their separate Instagram pages. 

Both photos show Victoire wearing a pink jacket with the words “Big Sis” written on the back in cursive. Meanwhile, Pancake is wearing a bib that says, “Oh no, not again,” with an arrow pointing at Victoire, revealing that the Monaco fam is soon going to welcome another baby.

The caption (translated from French), read, “Pancake and goldilocks have an announcement to make... they are waiting for a new member in the fraternity, the family is growing.”

According to People, Ducruet and Marie’s second child will take her place as 17th in the Monegasque line of succession, trailing right behind her big sis. Being that Louis Ducruet is the son of Monaco's Princess Stephanie and the grandson of Princess Grace (formerly known as American actress Grace Kelly), that makes him 15th in line. 

Congratulations, Louis and Marie!
