“The Duchess went into labour in the early hours of this morning. The Duke of Sussex was by Her Royal Highnesses’ side."
The royal couple previously announced that they are keeping the plans around the arrival of their baby private, which means royal fans should not expect for Meghan to pose on the steps of a hospital as Kate Middleton did after the birth of each of her three children.
The new royal baby will be the seventh in the line of succession after Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Harry.
