Is the Duchess expecting a baby boy or girl?
In keeping with British royal family traditions, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are forgoing the “gender reveal party” trend and keeping the sex of their baby a surprise. This means we won’t find out until the official announcement is made. However, people seem to have very strong opinions on whether she is having a boy or a girl. There has been a major surge in bets on the couple welcoming a daughter - so much so that bookmakers have had to close bids. Perhaps these punters were inspired by a comment Prince Harry made during the couple’s visit to Australia in October 2018. When a fan shouted from the crowd “I hope it’s a girl,” Harry replied, "So do I!"
Where will the baby be delivered?
Kate famously chose the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington - the same place Princess Diana welcomed William and Harry, but will her sister-in-law follow suit? Reports have claimed that Meghan may have made other arrangements. Their new home at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor is only 16 miles (a 30-minute car ride) from the luxurious Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey. Prince Edward’s wife, Sophie, delivered both of her children (Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn) in the hospital’s maternity unit. These are merely speculations, the exact location is yet to be disclosed.
Where will the baby live?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex officially moved into their new home at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor in early April, weeks before the royal baby’s arrival. The parents-to-be will raise their family in this cottage overlooking Frogmore House, where they had their wedding reception.
What will they name the royal baby?
Just like the baby’s gender, its name will also be kept a secret until Harry and Meghan’s highly anticipated official announcement. Not only are there bets running on the sex of the royal baby, but its name too. Solely based on bookmakers, the top contenders seem to be Diana or Elizabeth if it’s a girl - - and James if it's a boy.
