When Is Meghan Markle Due? Prince Charles’s Next Royal Outing Is a Clue

Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles just confirmed their next royal outing, and it appears Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first child is arriving sooner rather than later.

It all started yesterday when the Duke of Cornwall, 70, announced that he and his wife, 71, will embark on a royal tour of Germany next month. The three-day trip will begin on May 7 in Berlin and take the couple to Leipzig and Munich. While there, they will attend a series of events and chat with officials in an attempt to strengthen the relationship between the U.K. and Germany.

So, why is it such a big deal? Both Charles and Camilla are expected to be present for the child’s birth, which leads us to believe that Baby Sussex is arriving any day now (aka before their trip). 

Back in January, the Duchess of Sussex, 37, told fans that her due date was in late April/early May. Although the royal family has yet to announce any further details, we can’t help but wonder if Prince Charles’s travel plans were delayed due to the baby’s impending arrival.

Unlike Kate Middleton, who welcomed all three of her children—Prince George (5), Princess Charlotte (3) and Prince Louis (11 months)—at the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, Markle is expected to give birth at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey county. The medical center is a 30-minute drive away from the couple’s new home at Frogmore Cottage in Berkshire, England.

In the meantime, we’ll be taking final baby name predictions.
