Princess Madeleine of Sweden will give birth to her baby in June, the same month that her brother Prince Carl Philip will wed his fiancée Sofia Hellqvist, their mother Queen Silvia has confirmed.The revelation means that it is possible that Madeleine, who is currently pregnant with her and husband Chris O'Neill's second child, may not be able to attend the nuptials, which are to take place on 13 June.

She added that the family are excited at the prospect of both of the grand and approaching occasions.Now that Madeleine and her British-American banker husband have relocated to Sweden from New York, where the couple were living since they met, there is more likelihood of her attendance even if she is heavily pregnant. Should the baby be born before the 13 June, however, she would naturally be unable to attend.
