According to Kensington Palace, who tweeted the exciting news on Oct. 15, Meghan is due to give birth in the UK's spring.

Given that Prince Harry and Meghan married at Windsor castle on 19 May 2018, it appears that the couple began trying for a baby straight away.

The news of the couple's impending arrival came just three days after they attended Princess Eugenie's royal wedding - held at the same location they tied the knot earlier this year.

Rumours swirled that Meghan was pregnant after the ceremony - as she attended the wedding wearing a blue coat which remained buttoned up throughout the ceremony.
