After weeks of speculation, Kensington Palace announced yesterday that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expecting their first child together in Spring 2019.
Announcing the news on the official Kensington Palace Twitter account, the message read, 'Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019.'
However, unlike his brother Prince William's children, Prince Harry's new arrival WON'T be given the title of a little Prince or Princess... unless The Queen intervenes.
Prince Harry and Meghan's baby news comes just months after the pair tied the knot in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
However, the couple's first child won't be their only new arrival. Back in September, it was announced that Prince Harry and Meghan had welcomed a pet dog into their family home. According to Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith, the couple adopted a black labrador who they have named 'Oz'. It's not yet clear why the couple have chosen the unusual name of their new pet.
As Prince Harry and Meghan continue their Royal tour of Australia, no doubt we will be seeing a lot more of them in the coming weeks!
