When will the royal baby arrive? Prince Harry‘s upcoming trip is a huge hint to Duchess Meghan’s due date.
“Prince Harry will visit The Netherlands on May 8 and 9 (unless Baby Sussex arrives that late!). While there he will undertake an engagement in Amsterdam (details TBA) and then travel to The Hague to launch the one year countdown to @WeAreInvictus Games The Hague 2020,” royal commentator Omid Scobie wrote via Twitter on Wednesday, May 1.
He added: “It’s worth noting that this @invictusGamesNL trip has been in the works since last year. And if Harry has to go away for one night just after the birth, Meghan has mom Doria by her side (and other visitors soon-to-be en route!).”
The journalist included a screenshot from the Royal Communications announcing the Duke of Sussex’s trip.
Harry, 34, and the former actress, 37, who announced in October 2018 that they are expecting their first child, hinted at their due date back in January. The Duchess of Sussex told well-wishers in Birkenhead, England, that she would give birth in “late April, early May.”
In March, the Suits alum teased her due date again. “We’re nearly there,” she told Welsh Secretary of State, Alun Cairns, at the time.
The parents-to-be moved into their new home, Frogmore Cottage, in April and were visited by Queen Elizabeth II last week. “They showed her around,” a source told Us Weekly exclusively. “She was their first royal visitor. It was a lovely afternoon and they walked in the grounds.” Prince William and Duchess Kate also visited them on Easter Sunday.
As far as their birth plans, Harry and Meghan have their lips zipped. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very grateful for the goodwill they have received from people throughout the United Kingdom and around the world as they prepare to welcome their baby,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement last month. “Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private. The duke and duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family.”
