“Our family is growing again with the arrival of our little Constance [heart emoji] Someone was eager to meet her,” wrote proud mum Marie.
Louis, the son of Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, and Marie announced their second pregnancy in June.
They shared adorable photos of Victoire wearing an embroidered pink sweatshirt that read “Big Sis” while their pet dog, Pancake, posed in a burgundy bib playfully declaring: “Oh no, not again! 2024.”
“Pancake and Goldilocks have an announcement to make… they are expecting a new sibling, the family is growing,” Marie captioned the cute snap, as she revealed their nickname for Victoire.

In an interview with HELLO! in January, the pair spoke about the inspiration behind their daughter’s name. Louis said: “I really wanted our daughter to have an old French name that’s not common these days.”

Marie and Louis met as students in 2011 and after a long-term relationship, they married in July 2019 with the bride wearing three stunning looks on her big day.
