“This is an adorable ad,” said a third. ‘Congratulations!’
Louis and Marie, who were college sweethearts, married in a civil ceremony at Monaco Cathedral in front of hundreds of guests in 2019.
The couple announced the happy news by posting a photo of their daughter and their dog Pancake on their respective Instagram accounts.
The publication has accumulated more than 3,600 likes in the last 24 hours and followers were quick to congratulate the couple.
The couple, who married in Monaco in 2019, revealed in November 2022 (pictured) that they were expecting a baby together and later shared in a gender announcement post on Instagram that they were having a girl.
The couple was married by the mayor of Monaco, George Marsan, and then had an informal reception in the garden of the Prince’s Palace.
The couple began dating as students when they were both attending Skema Business School in Sophia Antipolis, France, in 2011.
Announcing their pregnancy in 2022, the couple dressed Pancake in a top that said “future big brother.”
In April 2023, the couple welcomed their first child. The French name Victoire translates to “Victoria” and is a variant of the name “Victoria”, which has been popular among many British royals.
Louis is the son of Princess Stéphanie of Monaco and her ex-husband Daniel Ducruet, who was once her bodyguard.
At the time, Daniel was engaged to Martine Malbouvier, who was expecting their first child. When Stephanie and Daniel went public, Martine was six months pregnant and gave birth to her son, Michaël Ducruet, in February 1992.
The couple divorced in 1996 after Daniel was caught cheating with Miss Bare Breast Belgium 1995.
