Prince Harry reveals what gender he hopes his first child is
It's good news for Harry...
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are on their first official royal tour and they keep making confessions about their hopes for their unborn child.
The couple, who tied the knot in May, announced that they were expecting their first child together last week.
Royal fans had been speculating for months that Meghan was pregnant. First because of her hair and then because of the outfit she wore at Princess Eugenie’s wedding.
It’s thought that Meghan is around four months pregnant and could be due around April.
The couple have already been given their first official baby gift and Meghan revealed that the couple have been given a ‘long list’ of baby name suggestions.
Bookies are already taking bets on what the most likely name of the next royal baby will be and although the couple haven't said if they are having a boy or girl, using the very popular Chinese birth predicator it seems the couple will be having a daughter.
This is great news for Prince Harry, who has gushed that he would love for his wife to give birth to a little girl.
