Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Expecting Baby! Due Spring 2019!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 15, 2018October 15, 2018

First comes love, then comes marriage; then comes the baby in the baby carriage! 2018 has certainly been a whirlwind year for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Beginning with a fairytale wedding which was adored and watched by millions all around the world. Nevertheless, now the royal couple is announcing one more wonderful development… yes, the rumor mill is true, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Expecting Baby this coming spring!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Expecting Baby! Due Spring 2019!

Well, just break out the champagne! Actually, oops…sorry, you can’t have any Meg. However, it is clear from her glow that Markle is still sharing in all of the baby bliss and joy.

For the past few weeks and recent royal engagements, speculation had began circling around the Duchess of Sussex. Her attire began to incorporate looser dresses and coats. An usual dead fashion giveaway that an oven may be in the baking stage.

Nevertheless, royal admirers did not have to wait long for confirmation. In an official statement Kensington Palace reveals:

“Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in spring of 2019.

Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May; and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public.”

Oh our ovaries! This beautiful news comes right on the heels of royal wedding 2018 number two with the stunning Princess Eugenie. Therefore, Kensington Palace certainly has much to celebrate; as this will be Prince Harry and the Duchess’ first child together.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Expecting Baby! Due Spring 2019! (Continued)

Just for baby kicks and giggles, we thought it would be fashionably fun to highlight the looks that well… sort of gave Meghan away (LOL). As much as a celebrity may try to hide a cute little bump, the masses can ALWAYS read between the “she looks preg” lines.

Let’s start with a real fun one… the old just toss a folder over the bump trick. Subtle… kind of, sort of.

Here’s another favorite, the ruffle dress. We loved this color on her and how she tried to throw everyone off by drawing our eyes to the dresses design.

Meghan slayed this fall fashion trend (rich green) and even though she is SUPER tiny… may we direct your eyes to the adorable pooch.

Lastly, the recent sighting at Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding. The “if all else fails” just wear a coat all day” trick. Another beautiful ensemble, but we and the rest of the world were on to you Meg! XoXo.

Word on the royal street is that the Duke and Duchess just made their bundle of joy known this past weekend. The couple shared the baby news with family/friends in attendance for Princess Eugenie’s wedding. Too cute.

Well, now it looks like it’s just about the waiting game. Soon enough a new little royal baby family member shall be arriving. We’ll just be over here excitedly awaiting anxiously for the baby name suggestions to start rolling out! Until then, congratulations once more to Meghan and Harry.
