Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting their first child [1]! The Palace made the announcement on Monday, Oct. 15 that the couple, who married in May, will welcome their first baby in Spring of 2019 (and, not surprisingly, Twitter is already going crazy [2]!). It's speculated based on royal sources that Meghan is about 12 weeks along [3], as the couple wanted to wait until they had their three-month scan before making an official announcement.

It's been a busy year for the Royals, following both Meghan and Harry's wedding [4] and Princess Eugenie's wedding [5], as well as the birth of Kate Middleton and Prince William's third child, Prince Louis [6] — and it doesn't look like the exciting family events are slowing any time soon! We're just happy to be along for the ride — virtually at least — and can't wait to meet this Royal baby next Spring, likely in mid to late April.

Congratulations, Meghan and Harry!
