Queen Elizabeth II to become great-grandmother

London: Queen Elizabeth II is set to
become a great-grandmother for the first time at the age of 84
after Buckingham Palace announced on Friday that the Canadian wife
of her grandson is pregnant.
Peter Phillips, son of the queen`s daughter Princess
Anne and 11th in line to the throne, and his wife Autumn are
expecting a child in December, officials said.
"The queen and Duke of Edinburgh, as well as Autumn`s
family, have been informed and are delighted with the news,"
the palace said in a statement.

The couple married at Windsor Castle, the queen`s home
west of London, in 2008, and live in Hong Kong.
