Has Baby Sussex already arrived?
The end of April is approaching—and that means Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal baby could arrive any day now.
On an official visit to Birkenhead, Mersyside in January, the Duchess of Sussex revealed to a local woman that she was six months pregnant, which puts her due date at the end of April or beginning of May.
Amidst the frenzy for royal baby news, the Buckingham Palace released a statement this month that Harry and Meghan have “made the personal decision” to keep the details of their baby’s arrival private, opting not to follow the tradition of posing for a large-scale photo call after birth as Prince William and Kate Middleton have done for their three children. Instead, they will share the news “once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately,” though there will be an announcement when Meghan has gone into labour and after she has given birth.
However, royal baby watchers are entertaining the idea that the royal family has already welcomed their new addition. These are the clues:
1. Doria Ragland has arrived in London
It was reported yesterday that Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland has flown to the United Kingdom from California, and is residing at the Sussexes’ Frogmore Cottage. According to Vanity Fair’s sources, Harry and Meghan “do not plan to hire a nanny or nurse initially, and will instead rely on the help of Meghan’s mother”. The former social worker was even spotted last year with specialist ‘nanny’ coaches in Los Angeles, so it makes sense that she will be present for the arrival of her grandchild.
