Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are having a baby! Kensington Palace confirms duchess is pregnant
Brace yourself for another royal baby!
Kensington Palace has confirmed that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting their first child, due next spring. The news comes nearly five months after their wedding on May 19.
It will be the first child for the 37-year-old former actress and the prince, 34. The couple, who have just arrived in Australia for a royal tour, were last seen at the Oct. 12 wedding of his cousin Princess Eugenie. Meghan’s voluminous Givenchy coat at that event sparked pregnancy speculation.
