The popular British children's show "Peppa Pig" announced on Tuesday that its main character, Peppa Pig, will soon be joined on the show by a new baby sister.

Evie Pig's birth was announced on the British TV show "Good Morning Britain," with mocked-up pictures showing the Pig family at the Lindo Wing maternity ward at St Mary’s Hospital in London.

The exclusive maternity wing of the London hospital is where Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, gave birth to her three children.

As with British monarchs, Evie Pig got the royal treatment on Tuesday. A video by the official "Peppa Pig" Instagram account showed a town crier ringing a gold bell and royal-inspired pink scroll outside the hospital, announcing the piglet's birth.

"Lend me your ears, for news of the birth of a daughter to Mummy and Daddy Pig," the town crier declared. "Peppa and George have a baby sister and her name is Evie."
