Prince Charles hopes Prince William-Kate Middleton's 2nd baby is a girl

Prince Charles has revealed that he is hoping Prince William and Kate Middleton's next baby will be a girl.

During a visit to a Prince's Trust project in South London, the 65-year-old Prince of Wales admitted that it's wonderful that he is becoming a grandfather again and expressed his happiness, and added that he is "looking forward to it", but hope its a girl this time, the Mirror reported. The eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II had expressed his hope for a baby girl even when Princess Diana was pregnant with second son Harry.

The Duchess of Cambridge, who is in the early stages of her second pregnancy, is currently undergoing treatment for what the Kensington Palace has described as "very acute morning sickness", and Prince William had recently cut short a public engagement to look after her. The royal pair was blessed with a baby boy, Prince George, last year.
