The Duke of Sussex has cancelled his overseas trip to Amsterdam next week.

On Wednesday, Buckingham Palace revealed that Harry was going to launch the one year countdown to the Invictus Games 2020 during the trip next Wednesday, May 8, and Thursday, May 9.

However, it’s now been confirmed that the trip has been postponed in a statement from the couple’s spokesman.

A spokesman for the couple told The Telegraph: “Due to the logistical planning for the travelling press to cover visits and engagements by The Royal Family, we have taken the decision to postpone The Duke of Sussex’s scheduled visit to Amsterdam on Wednesday 8th May 2019 .

“The Duke is currently scheduled to travel to The Hague on Thursday 9th May for the launch of the Invictus Games The Hague 2020 as planned.”

It comes days after Buckingham Palace released a statement which read: “The Duke of Sussex will visit The Netherlands on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th May 2019.

“While in The Netherlands, The Duke will undertake an official engagement in Amsterdam.

“His Royal Highness will then travel to The Hague to officially launch the one year countdown to the Invictus Games The Hague 2020.”

The news left many royal fans wondering if Meghan has already had the baby or whether Harry would reschedule the trip if she goes into labour over the next few days.

Meanwhile, it came after Chris Evans teased that Harry and Meghan’s baby has already been born.

The Virgin Radio breakfast show presenter said on the show earlier this week: “I think I know something” as he suggested that “there might be a new royal baby already”.

He then went on to claim that the Queen had visited the couple, following reports that she joined them at home in Frogmore Cottage at Windsor Castle over Easter weekend.

Harry and Meghan recently revealed they will not announce the birth of their first child straight away, as they would like time to “celebrate privately”.
