Queen Barbara is getting closer to meeting her baby on the way.
On Thursday, Queen Barbara shared a photo to Instagram with her bare baby bump on display.
Queen Barbara, who is expecting her first baby with King Marino, stands in front of a draped sheet while wearing a pair of unbuttoned ripped jeans and a tied button-down shirt that reveals her stomach.
"Belly full of Love," she captioned the photos.
Queen Barbara confirmed her exciting pregnancy news in June.

Barbara sighed contentedly as she stepped through the front door of her mother's house, the sounds of laughter and excited chatter immediately filling her ears.
It was her niece Lily's 8th birthday party, and the house was abuzz with the energy of a dozen young girls running around in cat-themed outfits.
Barbara had to chuckle as she spotted a few tiny feline ears poking out from the crowd.
Her mother really had gone all out with the decorations, from the paw print streamers hanging from the ceiling to the plates and cups adorned with cartoon kitties.
As Barbara made her way into the living room, she caught sight of Marino standing near the snack table, his eyes scanning the room with a bemused expression.
Barbara sidled up next to him, gently bumping his shoulder. "Having fun?" she teased, grinning as he jumped slightly at her sudden appearance.
"Uh, yeah, sure," Marino replied, though the slight crease in his brow betrayed his true feelings.
Barbara knew he wasn't exactly a kids person, but she was glad he had agreed to come along to support Lily on her special day.
The young girl absolutely adored her Aunt Barbara and her husband Marino, and Barbara wanted to make sure they were both there to celebrate with her.
Just then, a blur of pink and purple came barreling towards them, and Barbara found herself being tackled in a fierce hug.
"Auntie Barb!" Lily exclaimed, her blue eyes shining with pure joy.
Barbara laughed and scooped the girl up, twirling her around before setting her back down. "Happy birthday, sweetheart!" she exclaimed, pressing a kiss to Lily's forehead.
Lily beamed up at her, then turned her attention to Marino, who had been watching the exchange with a soft smile.
"Marino! You came!" Lily cried, rushing over to him and throwing her arms around his waist.
Marino looked momentarily caught off guard, but he quickly recovered, ruffling Lily's hair affectionately.
"Of course I came, kiddo," he said, his deep voice rumbling with amusement. "Wouldn't miss it for the world."
Lily giggled and then darted off, her cat-ear headband bouncing as she went. Barbara watched her go, a warm feeling blossoming in her chest.
Seeing Marino interact so naturally with her niece made her heart swell with love and pride.
She knew he wasn't always the most comfortable around children, but the way he had embraced Lily's boundless energy and enthusiasm was truly heartwarming.
As the party wore on, Barbara and Marino found themselves swept up in the whirlwind of activity.
They joined in on a rousing game of Pin the Tail on the Kitty, where Lily's competitive streak came out in full force which she ended up winning, much to her delight.
They also participated in a lively round of Meow Mix, a bizarre cat-themed version of musical chairs that had everyone in stitches.
Barbara couldn't help but marvel at the sheer creativity her mother had put into planning this party.
The living room had been transformed into a feline wonderland, complete with cardboard cat trees for the girls to climb on and a catnip station stocked with colorful pipe cleaners and pompoms for making cat toys.
Even the food had a cat theme, with paw-print shaped cookies and kitty litter made from crushed Oreos and gummy worms.
As the afternoon wore on, the girls began to wind down, their energy levels finally starting to flag.
Lily plopped down on the couch next to Barbara, her face flushed from all the running around. "Did you have fun, birthday girl?" Barbara asked, draping an arm around the girl's shoulders.
Lily nodded enthusiastically. "Uh-huh! This was the best party ever!" she exclaimed.
She turned to Marino, who was sitting on Lily's other side, and tugged on his sleeve. "Did you have fun too, Marino?" she asked, her tone almost pleading.
Marino chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, kiddo, I had a great time," he assured her.
Lily beamed, then snuggled closer to him, her eyes drifting shut. Barbara watched the scene with a soft smile, feeling a surge of affection for both Lily and Marino. She knew that Marino cared deeply for her niece, even if he didn't always know how to express it.
As the last of the guests filtered out, Barbara helped her mother clean up the remnants of the party.
Lily had long since fallen asleep, curled up on the couch with Marino keeping a watchful eye on her.
Barbara couldn't help but snap a quick photo, the image of Marino gently tucking a throw blanket around Lily's sleeping form a sight she knew she would cherish forever.
By the time they were ready to head home, Lily had woken up and was bouncing with excitement, her energy seemingly replenished.
She hugged Barbara and Marino tight, thanking them profusely for coming. "This was the best birthday ever!" she declared, her smile wide and infectious.
As they made their way to the car, Barbara slipped her hand into Marino's, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Thank you for being here today," she murmured, gazing up at him with adoration.
Marino simply pulled her close and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
"Wouldn't have missed it for the world," he replied, his deep voice rumbling with sincerity.
