But when is Meghan Markle’s due date? When did Meghan and Harry announce their pregnancy?

When is Meghan Markle’s due date?

When Meghan and Harry announced their baby news, they revealed the baby was due in Spring 2019.

However, since then, Meghan has given more of an indication as to her due date.

In January 2019, the Duchess told a member of the public during a royal engagement she was six months pregnant.

With this in mind, the royal baby’s due date is believed to be at some point in April.

Kensington Palace announced the pregnancy on 14 October 2018.
