According to Express, there has been a bit of an explosion with the number of babies born to multiple ruling European royal families in the last decade. The Belgian royal family added a prince and a princess, while the royal families of Sweden and Monaco have added seven or more royal babies to their family lines. Arguably the most famous European royals are the members of the British royal family, and in the last decade they have added nine royal babies to the family, the most recent being Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor, born in 2021 to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (per People)
Out of this large number of royal children that have arrived in the last decade, there have only been a couple of sets of twins. Rumors of twins surrounded the pregnancies of both Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, and Megan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, prior to them giving birth. Neither of them actually had twins, and it turns out the British royal family has not seen a set of twins for nearly six centuries (per Metro).
