I know this is a bit late, maybe it could be added to last years.

Lady Rose Gilman, younger daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, gave birth to a son last Oct/Nov 2012.
His name is Rufus Gilman and he will place about #30 in the Line of Succession..

[Princess Robijn]

Prince Muhmud Efendi Sultan of Turkey and his wife, née Genevieve Robson, had a son,"Şehzade" (= Prince) Ziya Reşad Efendid, on 6 June 2012.

Osmanl (Google Translation)

The same article also mentiones (among other things):

(Name; Date of birth, City of birth, Decendent from..)

Yavuz Selim 22.2.1989 İstanbul Sultan İkinci Abdülhamid 23
Turan Cem 7.1.2004 İngiltere Sultan Beşinci Murad 8
Tamer Nihad 15.4.2006 İngiltere Sultan Beşinci Murad 6
Muhammed Harun 1.12.2007 İstanbul Sultan İkinci Abdülhamid 5
Batu Bayezid 23.4.2008 İngiltere Sultan Beşinci Murad 4
(Ziya Reşad Efendi 6.6.2012 Londra Sultan Mehmed Reşad 0)

According to wikipedia, the parents of Prince Turan Cem and Prince Tamer Nihad are Prince Orhan Murad Osmanoğlu and his wife née Patricia Lotti.

Wikipedia also lists the birth of of several Princesses, the latest in 2013, as well as another Prince born in 2006. I'm assuming the second Prince born in 2006 would have been in the article from post 1 if correct. But of course that's just guesswork.
