Meghan Markle has made a new confession about her pregnancy and royal fans are now even more excited.

Meghan and Prince Harry announced they were expecting their first child on Monday, three days after royal fans speculated the Duchess of Sussex was pregnant while at Princess Eugenie’s wedding.

Although the couple have not yet revealed the gender of their baby, bookies have already got a list of baby names they think Harry and Meghan will choose depending on if they have a little boy or girl.

Meghan’s due date has been confirmed as Spring 2019 and depending on where it falls it could have a very significance for the royal family - as both Charlotte and Louis' birthdays are during that period.

However, in a new detail that Meghan let slip while in their royal tour in Australia, it seems we should expect the royal baby to arrive in early spring rather than late.

Australian singer-songwriter Missy Higgins broke the news on Instagram when she wrote: ‘What an honour to meet the beautiful Duchess today! She was such a sweetheart. I said I felt sorry for her having to do all these meet-and-greets while 4 months pregnant! What a trooper.’

She added: ‘Prince Harry was gorgeous too, a real charmer. He squeezed Luna’s legs and said “who’s this little cutie?” Looking forward to telling Luna she slept through it all one day.’

Royal fans are delighted that the baby could be due in April, as it’s the same birth month of the Queen and the Cambridges' youngest, Prince Louis.

The revelation surprised fans, with one person writing in the comments: 'I didn’t think she was 4 months! I thought she was only about 2 months maybe.’

Another also commented: ‘This makes me inexplicably happy’.
