Royal expert Camilla Tominey said she thinks Meghan is around five months pregnant.

She told Today Extra: “Normally you would expect news to come along when she is three months, but we think she is about five months.”

She went on to say the new Sussex baby’s arrival could coincide with other royal events including Prince Philip’s 100th birthday.

Ms Tominey added: “In June… it’s the Duke [of Edinburgh]’s 100th birthday, it’s Trooping the Colour, which the royals will go ahead despite the coronavirus pandemic.”

But we think she is about five months.

Prince Harry is expected to return to the UK around June or July to mark the occasions and also the unveiling of a new Princess Diana statue to mark what would have been her 60th birthday.

However, the new baby’s arrival could affect this.

The royal commentator said: “Whether he can do any of that remains to be seen, because obviously the timing does clash.

“But I think we can safely assume we will not be seeing Meghan in the UK any time soon.”

What did Meghan and Harry say about their second baby?

Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry’s announcement on Sunday read: “We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.”
