“The Queen was told, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cornwall – they chose that day to spread the happy news around and then recover and relax, get on a plane and then put out the news for the rest of us,” said the BBC’s royal correspondent Jonny Dymond.

Harry and Meghan’s child will now be seventh in line for the throne. Rumors had been swirling that Meghan was pregnant in the last few days, as she appeared to be hiding a baby bump whenever she was seen in public. She was photographed in Australia over the weekend holding two big purple folders in front of her stomach.

It is not yet known whether Meghan is carrying a boy or a girl. We want to wish her the best of luck in her pregnancy!
