The Queen has been to visit her, Prince Harry has confirmed he will take part in an engagement next week, but Meghan Markle has still not given birth to the Royal Baby, according to palace sources.
Speculation has been rife over the last couple of days that the Duchess of Sussex may have given birth in secret, but there has still been no official word of a new royal’s arrival.
Meghan had said earlier in her pregnancy that her due date was at the end of April or towards the beginning of May.
That has now created something that is being referred to as a Sussex Standby – the people who are queuing up to wish Meghan, Harry and their first child well.
Things really heated up yesterday when people tried to work out if Prince Harry’s upcoming trip to Amsterdam was a sign the baby is already here.
He is due in the Netherlands on Wednesday and Thursday next week. He is also rumoured to be planning to take paternity leave.
That lead some to believe that his wife had given birth at some point last week.
He is due in Amsterdam for an Invictus Games event, but sources have said that if the baby has still not arrived by the time he takes the trip then he would reluctantly pull out of the visit.
There was also a buzz around a visit by the Queen to Frogmore House, Harry and Meghan’s home, over Easter.
However, royal insiders insist this was just a courtesy visit, welcoming the couple to their new house.
The rumour mill was further stoked by Chris Evans telling listeners to his radio show that Meghan had already given birth.
Many believed that they would announce the birth today because it was Princess Charlotte’s birthday yesterday and they did not want to overshadow that.
