Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has gone into labor with her first child, Buckingham Palace told CNN on Monday.
He or she will be the seventh great-grandchild for Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.
Harry and Meghan married in a star-studded ceremony at Windsor Castle last May and announced they were expecting a baby in October — the news came as they touched down in Australia for their first overseas tour as a married couple.
Meghan’s pregnancy was announced in October, during her first overseas tour with her husband in Australia.
The birth was scheduled for the spring — but few other details were released in the ensuing months, leaving the public to fill in the blanks about when the baby would arrive.
Bookmakers had been taking odds on the child’s gender, name and date of birth for months, but suspended betting over the weekend.
The parents-to-be also dropped hints and made references to her new addition while on subsequent engagements.
But the couple ultimately preferred to keep details of the pregnancy under wraps, in line with their repeated requests for privacy since they began dating years ago.
