Pierre and Beatrice are expecting their first child in 2017

[Fürstin Taxis]

The belly size doesn’t always equate to baby size. Don't forget Beatrice is a tall, slim woman. It would be strange if they say she is already 6 month pregnant and she isn't.

[Paranoia]

You're right, Lazuli. It's all a bit weird. She doesn't look pregnant at all. It's not just the belly, pregnant women usually have a rounder face, bigger breasts...

But Hola is a very reliable source. They may be honestly mistaken but they never invent news based on photos or rummors. When they state something it usually is because they have a serious source.
Maybe they just got the dates wrong and the pregnancy is more recent than they think?

Well, as always with pregnancies, time will shortly tell.

In reality it is not a Borromeo/Grimaldi but a Borromeo/Casiraghi alliance to be fair.

Does anyone remember when she announced she was quitting? Because Hola is usually a very reliable source (not at all like Voici or Chi) but they say she is nearly six months pregnant and in this pic from september she doesn't look much like a 4 month pregnant woman:

I think she quit smoking much before her wedding.
As for the pic she does not look pregnant but her dress. Bag and hand position are interesting.....

[Biri]

There are women who gain only 8-10 kilos durng pregnancy.

[azure]

She is very skinny in general, so maybe that 'confuses' us.
The news are great, if they are real!!

Hey, that's a quote from Gone With the Wind! Melanie, I believe.

This is the cover of the italian magazine "Chi" whose will be released tomorrow. The pic on the cover clearly shows a pregnat Beatrice, in Ne York, with most of her family. The article doesn't say much, only that the baby is expected in January. When the mag is out, I'll see if the story has more details.

[fandesacs2003]

Unless she is playing jokes with papz... She is very pregnant

[Fürstin Taxis]

Aww, thank you! She really isn't huge, but like we said, she is tall and slim. I would love to see a photo of Caroline with her grandchildren soon.

[Empress Merel]

There is no doubt she's pregnant.

[principessa]

Congratulations! This baby will be a very beautiful little child.

I knew that someone would say this before I even posted and Duc you never disappoint!

It's a combination of the clans Casiraghi, Borromeo,Grimaldi AND Polignac. If that child will not be an aristocrat I don't know who will be.(and yes I do realize that the Casiraghis are not of the nobility but the other three more than make up for it imo)

Correct. Nevertheless, if we go back to Grimaldis and Polignac, then we should include the Marzotto family, closer than Polignac

If it's a boy: Gabriel Stefano Carlo
If it's a girl: Elisabetta Marta Caroline

Nice names for the girl. For the boy ok, but why Gabriel ?

[Fürstin Taxis]

Idk it popped up in my mind. I don't think they will go for this, but it will be a classical name nonetheless.

[Countessmeout]

If a girl I could see them naming her for Beatrice's grandmother who just died, and the two grandmothers

Marta Paola Caroline Cassiraghi

For a son possibly since neither his siblings have used stefano for a first name

Stefano Carlo Pierre Cassiraghi

Or

Rainier Stefano Carlo


Or they could surprise us like his siblings but I suspect traditional.

Thanks for the link!
It is wonderful that Princess Caroline's children are tight-knit.
