And only last month he even dropped a major baby name hint.
But one detail that the couple haven’t gone into – and possibly the most anticipated one – is the gender of the royal baby.
While Prince Harry has revealed whether he is hoping for a boy or a girl, Meghan Markle seemed to confirm recently that the couple didn’t know themselves.
But now the latest bookie odds have suggested that the royal baby could in fact be a boy!
Bookmaker Ladbrokes has said that all bets placed on the gender of the royal baby since the start of this week have favoured a boy.
Could Meghan Markle’s baby bump give away her baby’s sex?
‘Have Meghan or Harry given something away this week?’ said Alex Apati of Ladbrokes.
‘Our royal baby punters certainly seem to think so, with all bets being on a boy.’
Meanwhile, Meghan recently got fans excited about when we might get to meet the newest royal, when she confirmed her actual due date.
While speaking to royal well-wishers at Birkenhead during a royal engagement, Meghan revealed that she is six months pregnant and the baby is due to be born around the end of April.
