Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to welcome their first child into the world in 2019, but it looks like the royal couple may be saying hello to their tiny tot sooner than we first thought.

On Christmas Day, Meghan joined her husband Prince Harry, and brother-in-law Prince William, as well as Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cambridge for the annual church service at Sandringham Church.

The former Suits star looked as chic as ever in a navy Victoria Beckham dress and we couldn’t help but notice just how big her bump has gotten.

Meghan greeted the public during the special festive event. One very special member, Karen Anvil, who captured that famous photo of the ‘Fab Four’ last Christmas, was luckily enough to chat to the Duchess of Sussex.

It was rumoured that Harry and Meghan would welcome their baby boy or girl in March or April, but now reports are speculating that Meghan will give birth in February.

Karen also shared that Meghan said: “There wasn’t long left to go.”

The Duchess gushed about becoming a mum for the first time, admitting that she was incredibly excited.

We’re sure both her and Harry cannot wait for 2019 to roll around. It’s bound to be a life-changing year for the couple, who tied the knot at St. George’s Chapel in May this year.

Rumour has it that our favourite royals have picked out a baby name!

Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they were expecting, the public have packed into the bookies to predict their baby’s name.

However, a recent rise in the bets suggest that the baby name has been leaked.

The surge in bets came after the royal family gathered for Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.

So we can only assume that the couple shared their top two name picks with the family and someone present passed the information on without permission.

Which names topped the list?

Bookmakers Coral revealed that Victoria is the most popular name on the list with the odds 8-1.

As far as boy names go, Albert and Phillip are the most likely winners with the odds 10-1.

However, others seem to think that the royal couple will go with a more sentimental name.

Diana, after Prince Harry’s late mother, is at 10-1 at the bookies.

Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead told OK! Magazine: “It won’t be long now until the latest Royal baby is welcomed into the family, and the name is always a popular thing for punters to bet on.

“At the moment it is Victoria that leads the way and is our favourite to be the name of Harry and Meghan’s first child, whilst famous Royal names Diana and Philip have also been popular in the betting.”

Meghan and Harry have yet to comment on the recent baby news, but hopefully this means a baby name announcement is on the way.

However, the Duke and Duchess have yet to announce the baby’s gender.

So, we will just have to stay tuned.

Meghan and Harry’s wedding was one of the biggest events of the year with the momentous occasion reportedly costing an eye-watering £32 million.

The Royals certainly went all out for their big day, especially Meghan who spent an extortionate amount of money on her hair and makeup.

The Duchess of Sussex looked as classy as ever on her wedding day with a simple updo and natural makeup look. However, despite the understated look, the former Suits actress forked out a reported £10,000 on her hair and makeup.

It is believed Meghan’s hair and makeup team spent a mere 45 minutes on her wedding look.

Serge Normant was the man behind Meghan’s chic updo and Daniel Martin worked his makeup magic on Meghan for the big day.

Speaking of the special moment, Normant told Glamour that Meghan was extremely relaxed during the entire process.

“We talked together a little bit before, but we wanted something that would have an easy feel to it. [It] wasn't a huge process. We wanted it to be something that was right for the day and that felt right for her mostly."

The Duchess looked breathtakingly beautiful on her wedding day, stealing the hearts of the millions who tuned in to watch her and Prince Harry tie the knot at St. George’s Chapel on May 19.

However, we can’t quite believe just how much she spent on her hair and makeup alone.

We won’t feel half as guilty the next time we splurge on lipstick from Charlotte Tilbury.

Meghan Markle was glowing at her solo royal engagement this morning. The mum-to-be charmed residents at the Royal Variety residential nursing and care home in Brinsworth House in Twickenham.

The Duchess wore a grey and white floral Brock Collection dress that showed off her growing bump perfectly.

She kept herself warm in a sleek grey winter coat by Canadian brand Soia & Kyo.

Duchess Meghan looked as beautiful as ever during her visit. She helped make Christmas decorations and enjoyed a merry carol service with the men and women of the Royal Variety nursing and care home.

One woman couldn’t help but ask Meghan how she was finding pregnancy and her response was so sweet.

The royals tend to avoid personal questions, but Meghan happily told the residents that she was doing “very good.”

She also joked about her blooming bump and said, “I’m looking very pregnant today.”

The nursing home helps men and women who have worked in the entertainment industry and are in need of help and assistance due to old age, poor health or hard times.

There’s no doubt the former actress charmed the residents during her visit this morning. One of the residents told the Duchess that everyone at the home is friends to which she replied, “I hope I can join the club.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will spend their first Christmas together his year as newly weds – and with a baby on the way, it's sure to be extra special.

The couple have been travelling the world together on a number of foreign engagements, but there is one very British tradition than Meghan is not so keen on. 

According to The Sunday Express, Meghan does not want Prince Harry to partake in this year's traditional  Royal Family’s Boxing Day pheasant shoot.

According to repots, Harry is to respect Meghan's wishes, and not participate in the hunt. 

This will be the second time in over 20 years that Prince Harry will not be taking part. 

Harry did not take part last year, once again because of the wishes of his then-fiancee. 

Last year, The Sun reported that an informant told them: ‘The Boxing Day shoot was always going to be a tricky issue.’ 

‘Harry loves it and has always been out there on Boxing Day.'

'But if it means breaking with long-standing royal traditions to avoid upsetting her, so be it.'

It is believed that Meghan is against the hunt as she sees it as cruelty towards animals.

Meghan is known to be extremely fond of animals and is very much against all bloodsports.

She also refuses to wear or promote fur, considering it an animal rights issue. 

The couple are set to spend Christmas with the Queen at Sandringham House in Norfolk, England for Christmas Day festivities.

While rumours have been circling about a royal feud, nothing has been confirmed just yet.

Many tabloids have been spinning stories, saying that Harry and Meghan don’t get along with William and Kate.

But recent holiday revelations seems to be at odds with the alleged drama.

A royal source told The Sun that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex turned down Prince William and Kate’s offer to host them this Christmas.

However, Kensington Palace has spoken out in response, saying that this claim is untrue.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, the palace said Prince William and Kate and Prince Harry and Meghan will be spending the holiday together.

But while it was confirmed that the fab four would spend the day together, the palace could not say whether they would continue the celebrations side-by-side or go there separate ways afterwards.

The happy couples spent last year’s Christmas together during which they reportedly had a fantastic time.

There is no doubt that the Queen is overjoyed to spend the holiday with her beloved grandsons and granddaughters-in-law.

Last month, Kate Middleton shut down the gossip when she gushed about Meghan and Harry’s baby.

It seems she is happier than ever for her sister-in-law and can’t wait to meet the family’s newest arrival.

“It’s such a special time to have little kiddies and a cousin for George, Charlotte and Louis,” Kate said.

“It’s really special.”

Kensington Palace wanted to make sure that the public were not misinformed and was eager to confirm the two couples were spending the holidays together.

So we will just have to wait and see how it all unfolds at Sandringham but for now, it appears there is no bad blood between the four.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released their first official Christmas card as a married couple and it is just as romantic as we imagined.

The lovebirds decided to use a photo from their May wedding for their Christmas card and it is truly beautiful.

Kensington Palace shared the stunning snap with fans of Meghan and Harry this morning.

They wrote: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted to share a new photograph from their Wedding Reception at Frogmore House on 19th May.

"The photograph, which features on Their Royal Highnesses’ Christmas card, was taken by photographer Chris Allerton."

The black and white photo shows the Duke and Duchess gazing at a firework display on the night of their wedding. It is beyond romantic.

2018 has been quite the year for Harry and Meghan with the pair tying the knot AND confirming they are expecting their first child together in the past few months.

The parents-to-be will be celebrating many milestones in the New Year as they prepare to welcome their baby boy or girl as well as moving into Frogmore Cottage.

The Sussexes have really stolen the hearts' of the nation with their love story. There's no doubt they are going to have the most special Christmas.

If we wanted to get advice from anyone, the Former First Lady of the United States would probably be on top of our list. 

So it's the Duchess of Sussex' lucky say as Michelle Obama has been dishing out a few pearls or wisdom to the former actor. 

The women have in common many things – largely that they have had to adapt to a life that is more pressurised than they could have ever imagined.

Michelle said, "Like me, Meghan probably never dreamt that she’d have a life like this, and the pressure you feel – from yourself and from others – can sometimes feel like a lot."

She continued, ''So my biggest pieces of advice would be to take some time and don’t be in a hurry to do anything. I spent the first few months in the White House mainly worrying about my daughters, making sure they were off to a good start at school and making new friends before I launched into any more ambitious work."

She went on to say that choosing projects is important and is to be done wisely.

She said, "I think it’s okay – it’s good, even – to do that….What I’d say is that there’s so much opportunity to do good with a platform like that – and I think Meghan can maximise her impact for others, as well her own happiness, if she’s doing something that resonates with her personally."

Nice one, Michelle. 

Michelle is currently in the UK to promote her newly-released memoir, Becoming, and has been generous with her nuggets of wisdom, especially when it comes to the myth of ''having it all.''

During an appearance at Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, Michelle spoke about the modern concept. 

She said, “Marriage still ain’t equal, y’all. It ain’t equal. And I tell women that it’s not equal – that whole ‘so you can have it all’? Nope, not at the same time.''

She added, “That’s a lie. And it’s not always enough to lean in, because that s**t doesn't work all the time.” 

Hear hear, Michelle – I think we all need a friend like her tbh.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have to make some important choices now that a little bundle of joy is on the way, including who to pick as the royal baby's godparents.

With plenty of well-known faces as their close friends, everyone is waiting with bated breath to see who will make the cut, between Meghan's connections in the acting world and Harry's assembly of royal family members.

Sources are now reporting that George and Amal Clooney are top of the list to be the newest royal godparents- with Meghan and Harry all set to confirm their baby's newest family figures, and what a couple to have been chosen.

The A-list actor's family are extremely certain that George and Amal will be asked, after the pair have become very close with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. George's cousin Ben Breslin is the 'family insider' who is creating the claims.

Ben Breslin has spoken about how he considers the notion of George as a godparent as 'wonderful', saying: "I'm all for it. He'd make a wonderful godfather, he'd make a wonderful just about anything – he's a good guy."

Amal, a British human-rights lawyer who has been friends with Meghan for a long time, socialises with the Duchess regularly.

Meghan and Harry flew via private jet to Lake Como in May to visit the Mr and Mrs Clooney, and spent time with their one-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella.

An insider source who is friendly with both the Clooneys and the royals told the Daily Mail that; 

"Amal and Meghan have been close for years, and Harry and George have become buddies because of that. They're much closer than the headlines let on."

The royal pair are expected to attend a lavish dinner party in a number of weeks at George and Amal's home in London. High-profile names such as Barack and Michelle Obama are on the star-studded guest list.

We will have to wait until the spring to discover who the godparents officially are, as it is tradition within the royal family to withhold the information until the baby is born. 

We think any baby would be lucky to have George and Amal Clooney though, what a loving pair.

Meghan Markle has the world at her feet, a prince on her arm and a very hectic work schedule. 

The expecting mother isn't allowing pregnancy and newlywed bliss get in the way of her various projects. 

It is reported that the Duchess of Sussex intends to work all the way up to her due date.

Vanity Fair's royal correspondent reports that: 'Meghan has told aides she wants to work as close to her due date next spring as possible.'

This is similar to Kate Middleton, who appeared at royal appointments until the end of her pregnancy. 

Both women have extremely busy schedules as they manage their time committed to various projects. 

Meghan has been very busy of late – working with the Hubb Community Kitchen, who she collaborated with to make the Together: Our Community Cookbook earlier this year.

She has also been spotted with her husband at many philanthropic events. 

Meghan is also expected to announce a collaboration with at least one more charity by the end of 2018.

She is due in April of 2019.

Bookmakers were forced to withdraw options for punters to bet that the couple were expecting twins after a huge amount of bets poured in.

It's thought a source with inside knowledge about the royal pregnancy may have been the first to place money on the couple having twins.

'A Paddy Power spokesman told The Sun: 'An unprecedented amount of bets on Meghan and Harry to have twins has forced us to stop taking bets on the market altogether this morning.'

'Since the day began, the stream of bets has led us to believe that perhaps the punters – or an insider source – knows something more than we do.'

Odds were slashed from 5/1 to odds-on after the influx of bets.

A spokesman for Paddy power told The Mail Online: 'We had to suspend betting. We saw an almost identical pattern of betting before the announcements of the couple's engagement and pregnancy.'

'An unprecedented amount of bets on Meghan and Harry to have twins has forced us to stop taking bets on the market altogether this morning.'

Multiple baby births stand at 1 in every 65 in the UK – so it wouldnt be a hugely rare occurrence. 

However, twins have not appeared in the direct royal family tree since 1430.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to move out of Kensington Palace to live in quite the special place.

Kensington Palace confirmed that the parents-to-be are planning on moving early in the new year ahead of the arrival of their first child.

According to Emily Andrews of The Sun, the Queen gifted the pair a new house which will be their official residence.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move into Frogmore Cottage once refurbishments are complete. It is believed the house is undergoing a large transformation to ensure it is a suitable home for a family.

The 10 bedroom house will be turned into a lavish family home. It will feature a nursery and even has space for a yoga studio and a gym.

We can barely afford to rent one bedroom so it's safe to say we're VERY jealous of the royals.

Frogmore Cottage is located in Windsor and holds a very special place in Harry and Meghan’s hearts.

The couple held their private evening wedding party and shot their engagement photos at Frogmore Cottage so it certainly means a lot to them.

“Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate,” Kensington Palace stated.

We are thrilled for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. There’s no doubt Frogmore Cottage will be the perfect place for the pair to start their life as parents.

Meghan is set to give birth to their first child in the coming months. It has been rumoured that the former actress will welcome their son or daughter in March or April.
