Meghan Markle is set to give birth to her first child in April, and it has just been revealed that she has gone on maternity leave in preparation of the birth.

Though Meghan and her husband Prince Harry currently live at Nottingham Cottage in Kensington Palace, they are going to be moving to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor just before she gives birth.

“The couple is expected to move into Frogmore relatively soon, again so they can be settled before the baby comes,” a royal source said.

While Meghan will not be making any more public appearances until after the birth of her child, she is still doing quite a lot behind the scenes. She is also keeping in close contact with her fellow mom friends like Amal Clooney and Serena Williams, who are offering her pointers when it comes to giving birth and parenting a child.

Rumors have been swirling that Harry will also be taking parental leave after the birth.

“I think there’s so much discussion about equality among this couple. We’re seeing that so much in what they’re doing,” said royal correspondent Victoria Murphy. “[Harry’s] very happy to let [Meghan] lead and he talks about being a feminist and he talks about her wearing the trousers, and joking about that. But, I think for them to set that example as well, I think, could be really quite significant.”

We wish Meghan and Harry the best of luck with their first child, and we hope she gives birth to a happy and healthy baby! Find out more about her maternity leave in the video below.
