Kensington Palace confirms Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Are Expecting A 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.
The announcement ended rampant speculation in the British press, which had been breathless since Friday, when Markle attended Princess Eugenie of York’s wedding and had the audacity to not button all the buttons on her coat.
The Daily Mail was on the case on Sunday, with the headline: “Meghan Markle sparks pregnancy rumours as she arrives in Australia carrying TWO purple folders in front of her stomach.”
But of course, the royals-watchers are nothing if not adaptable. Now that the pregnancy is confirmed, they moved on to the next guessing game: what the baby will be named. Victoria, Albert, Arthur and Alice are early favorites, according to the bookmakers Ladbrokes.
