THE Duchess of Sussex cradles her bump after telling fans she is due at the “end of April, beginning of May”. Revealing she is six months pregnant, Meghan, 37, also let drop she and Harry don’t know the spring baby’s sex and are “keeping it as a surprise”.

Radiant Meghan chatted happily to well-wishers as she and Harry,

34, visited Birkenhead in Merseyside.

Local Kim Thompson said:

“She said she is six months pregnant and due at the end of

April, beginning of May.”

Kitty Dudley, nine, said: “I asked if she was having a boy or a girl, and she said

‘we don’t know, we are keeping it as a surprise.’” Beaming Meghan, in a red coat by Sentaler and purple Babaton-by-aritzia dress, added her pregnancy had “flown by” and that Harry will make “a fantastic father”. Harry joyfully received a teddy, hugged Eliza Morris, four, for her “Gingers unite” poster and told Buddhist monk Kelsang Sonam he “meditates every day”.

A palace source said: “Harry has been getting into yoga, wellness and generally is feeling better than ever.”

They visited the town to unveil a plaque to its First World War poet Wilfred Owen and visit local community groups. Bookmakers have now slashed the odds of Meghan giving birth on the Queen’s birthday, April 21, to 12/1.
