Prince Harry and his wife the Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first child in the spring.
The announcement was made by Kensington Palace on Monday:
“Their royal highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public,” the palace said in a statement.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had just arrived in Sydney at the start of a 16-day visit to Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand.
The trip will include attending the Invictus Games, a visit to a Sydney zoo and visit the rural Flying Doctor service.
The prince and the former actress married in a glittering service in Windsor in May.
