Don't call Helena Bonham Carter the Red Queen. Call her a proud auntie.

On Monday afternoon, the Alice Through the Looking Glass star participated in a Facebook Live Q&A with producer Suzanne Todd. Before the ladies got down to business, there was one thing that needed to be addressed.

"Speaking of births, we have to do a shout-out for our lovely white queen Anne Hathaway who had her little baby boy," Suzanne shared at the beginning of the program. "Congratulations to her."

"That's so nice," Helena continued while speaking of her on-screen sister. "I'm so happy for them. So that makes me an aunt."

Suzanne added, "Yes, you have a new little nephew." LOL!

Just last week, E! News exclusively confirmed that Anne and her husband Adam Shulman welcomed a baby boy named Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman.

"The baby is extremely healthy and is surrounded by friends and family in L.A.," a source shared with E! News. "Anne and Adam are ecstatic to be parents."

In fact, another insider explained that the newborn is "such a sweet and happy baby. He looks like a mixture between Anne and Adam."

Fortunately for movie fans, Anne was able to reprise her role as the White Queen in the upcoming James Bobin-directed tale long before becoming a mom. The film picks up with Alice determined to rescue an ailing Mad Hatter from Time's villainous grasp.

During filming, both Anne and Helena created some on-set memories that may have involved a classic game of karaoke. 

"She's a great singer, so we sang a lot of Wicked," Helena confessed in the Facebook chat. "I was stuck with Anne a lot of the time in a sort of harness hanging 20 feet high up, [and] we had a lot of time."
