Meghan Markle drops new tidbits about the royal baby's arrival. Find out what she said, plus deets on why Meghan and her hubby Prince Harry skipped out on Duchess Kate Middleton's 37th birthday bash inside....
Royal baby news alert!
As we await the arrival of the royal baby, soon-to-be new mom Meghan Markle just dropped some big baby news on us.
The former "Suits" actress and her husband Prince Harry made their first joint appearance of 2019 in Birkenhead, Merseyside today (Jan. 14th) and they came with some good news.
During a walkabout in Hamilton Square, several reporters reportedly overheard Meghan reveal she's SIX months pregnant and that she's due around the end of April/early May!
For the walkthrough, the soon-to-be first-time mom styled her bump in a purple dress from ARITIZIA's Babaton collection topped with a Sentaler coat.
Also, an onlooker at the event spilled the beans to PEOPLE magazine, revealing:
“We asked her how her pregnancy was going and she said she was six months and she tapped her tummy,” Carla Gandy from nearby Wallasey told the site.
The 37-year-old retired actress and 34-year-old royal also don't know the sex of the baby. They want it to be a "surprise."
This is the closest confirmation to Baby Sussex's due date after Kensington Palace previously announced (in October 2018) that she was due in Spring 2019.
On Christmas, Meghan hinted at her due date approaching, telling onlookers during a walkabout outside Sandringham, "We're nearly there!"
It's unclear where Meghan will give birth to Baby Sussex, but she's reportedly considering Frimley Park hospital, as opposed to St. Mary's Hospital in London where her sister-in-law Kate Middleton and her late mother-in-law gave birth. It's reported Frimley Park is about a 15-minute drive from Meghan and Harry's new home, so it makes sense as to why she would choose that hospital. It has also been reported that Meghan is considering a home delivery. Sweet!

Duchess Kate Middleton celebrated her 37th birthday with lunch on Sunday with her husband Prince William and close friends at Anmer Hall, their Norfolk country home near Sandringham. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not in attendance. Of course, their absence only fuels the rumors that Meghan and Kate don't get along. However, Meghan has a lot on her plate - she recently received 4 royal patronages - especially being pregnant and all.
