“I’m sure everyone is asking,” Cairns noted, to which Meghan replied, “No, it’s actually very sweet. It’s a very sweet, nurturing thing to ask. We’re nearly there!”

Although Meghan and Harry, 34, have kept their official due date under wraps, a source previously told Us Weekly that the lovebirds, who tied the knot in May 2018, will welcome their first child in late March or early April.

A second source recently added to Us that the royal pair already know their future baby’s gender. However, the Suits alum is keeping fans on their toes. While she celebrated her baby shower in New York City in February with predominantly pink decorations, she reportedly told guests that she is expecting a boy.

The Duke of Sussex also let well-wishers in on the speculation in October after revealing that “everyone is predicting it’s going to be a girl.” Earlier that month, he told royal devotees that he’s hoping to have a daughter.
