In the first snapshot of her carousel, Tatiana could be seen tucking her hair behind her ear as she looked down at her stomach, smiling, her floral print dress hugging her rapidly growing bump

On the table next to her was what appeared to be a mojito but, as she was quick to assure her fans in the comments, was actually a mocktail.

In another photo, the 33-year-old shared an image of her bump from above, as she wore a taupe swimsuit and lay on a sun lounger, holding a peach with a book on her lap, the picture of relaxation.

The blonde beauty, who is a distant cousin of the late Queen as well as being related to Prince Philip's side of the family through her father, George Mountbatten, is expecting her first child with her husband, Alick Dru. The couple married at Winchester Cathedral on 23 July last year. 

She announced the happy news of their upcoming arrival last month on Instagram, captivating fans with another beautiful photo of her bump

In a series of delightful selfies, she showcased her blossoming figure in a form-fitting jersey dress. Alongside the images, she wrote: "I've been a bit quiet on here for a while... been busy finding my perfect wardrobe and growing a small person." 

The announcement was met with a flurry of congratulatory messages from fans, celebrating this new chapter in Lady Tatiana's life.

Last July, Tatiana exchanged vows with her entrepreneur beau in a lavish ceremony. The couple's love story took a romantic turn when Alick proposed during a skiing holiday in the Alps. 

In a picturesque mountaintop setting in Verbier, Switzerland, he presented Lady Tatiana with a stunning engagement ring.

The news of their engagement delighted not only their followers but also garnered well wishes from Prince Harry's ex, Cressida Bonas, who commented with a simple "Beauties". 

Tatiana is the eldest child of George Mountbatten and his first wife Sarah Georgina Walker. Alick, whose full name is Alexander Bernard Molyneux Dru, is the son of Auberon Alexander Bernard Dru and Catherine Margaret Norden.
