Queen to Become a Great-Grandmother

This may be just the thing the Queen needs to prod Prince William into making up his mind over proposing to his girlfriend. William’s first cousin, Peter Phillips, is expecting a child with his Canadian-born wife, Autumn, in December and will make the Queen, 84, a great-grandmother for the first time. Phillips, who is 11th in line to the throne and has no royal duties, is the son of Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth’s second child and only daughter. "The queen and the duke of Edinburgh, as well as Autumn's family, have been informed and are delighted with the news," Buckingham Palace said.
