Kate's Royal Baby #2 Will be Celebrated with Release of a new £5 Coin

The birth of Prince William and Kate's second baby will be celebrated with the release of a new £5 coin.

The commemorative piece will be launched after the tot is born, which is expected to be in "mid-to-late" April as Kate has previously revealed.

While the little Prince or Princess is not expected to ever rule as a monarch, being fourth-in-line to the throne, he or she will have a coin struck in their honour – much like older brother Prince George.

The Queen approved the decision during a meeting of the Privy Council at Buckingham Palace on 19 March. Click link for full post from Hello Magazine.

About William and Kate

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
