Given that Prince Harry and Meghan married at Windsor castle on 19 May 2018, it appears that the couple began trying for a baby straight away.

The news of the couple's impending arrival came just three days after they attended Princess Eugenie's royal wedding - held at the same location they tied the knot earlier this year.

Rumours swirled that Meghan was pregnant after the ceremony - as she attended the wedding wearing a blue coat which remained buttoned up throughout the ceremony.
