Ruth interrupted: “Sprog?” to which Eamonn said: “Well, sprog. Little sproglet.”
Ruth quipped: “Don’t think they call it that in royal circles,” to which Eamonn added: “No they probably don’t but anyway, will it make its way into the world this weekend?”

Meanwhile, bookies William Hill has predicted that Baby Sussex will arrive on bank holiday Monday and it will be a little girl.
Buckingham Palace recently said that Harry will launch the one year countdown to the Invictus Games 2020 on an overseas trip next Wednesday, May 8, and Thursday, May 9.
The trip has left fans wondering if his wife Meghan has already given birth or whether she will give birth before Harry goes, meaning it could happen in the next few days.
