Princess Stephanie of Luxembourg showed off her blossoming baby bump on Friday when she attended an art exhibition. Wearing black trousers and a chic oversized white shirt, the mother-to-be was photographed smiling from ear to ear at the prestigious event, and radiated that pregnancy glow. A tweet accompanying the beautiful photos read: "The Grand Duke heir and the Grand Duchess heir participated last night in the pre-opening of the artist Jean-Marie Biwer at Mudam."
The royal announced that she was expecting her first child with Prince Guillaume in a statement released on 6 December. The 2019 announcement said: "Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess are immensely pleased to announce that the Hereditary Grand Duke and Hereditary Grand Duchess are expecting Their first child. The birth is scheduled for May. The Grand Duke, the Grand Duchess and the members of both families are delighted with the news and share their great joy."

At the time, the palace released a series of portraits of the prince and princess to celebrate their special news. In the images, the couple beamed at the camera, with Guillaume wearing a smart-casual ensemble consisting of a navy blazer, an open-collared shirt and camel coloured trousers, while Stephanie looked radiant in a cornflower blue blouse and jeans. In another set of photos, the parents-to-be looked more formal, with the princess in a striking purple jacket and the prince in a dark suit.
