The secret clue that Meghan has ALREADY given birth to ‘Baby Sussex’

Fans have gone into meltdown after studying exactly what's been going on

Royal fans around the world, who are keenly waiting for news on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first baby, may ALREADY have something to celebrate - as some fans are convinced the Duchess has already had ‘Baby Sussex’!

Meghan Markle went on maternity leave from her royal duties back in March and although no official due date was given, she was expected to give birth around late April.

But the wording of Meghan’s latest Instagram post, a royal statement from Buckingham Palace AND the presence of one key person in Windsor have led Meghan and Harry-watchers to say she has ALREADY had the baby and is just waiting to announce it.

The first big clue is that on their official Instagram page Prince Harry and Meghan thanked royal fans for donating to charities for children and parents instead of sending them gifts and named Baby Sussex – as an actual person!

The couple said, 'On behalf of The Duke and Duchess (and Baby Sussex), we thank you so much.'

Just one week ago, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex asked that you kindly consider supporting various organisations around the world in lieu of sending gifts for the upcoming arrival of their first born. Not only did many of you lend your support, you took action. Their Royal Highnesses wanted you to know the impact of your support - the direct effect your donation, energy, and action made! YOU chose to be part of the collective good, and you have made a real difference. Whether a $5 donation, £1000 contribution, offering to volunteer, or spreading the word - you've played your part. And on behalf of The Duke and Duchess (and Baby Sussex), we thank you so much. YOUR IMPACT: @thelunchboxfund will now be able to provide a minimum of 100,000 additional hot nutritionally fortified meals to children in dire need across South Africa @littlevillagehq received donations from all over the world (from UAE to Hong Kong and the US), they've increased their monthly donors, had a surge in volunteer applications, and re-energized their hard working team of 200+ staff and volunteers @wellchild can now provide 300+ additional hours of specialist care by a Well Child Nurse for a child with serious health needs, allowing families to stay together at home vs in hospital @Baby2Baby have received over 5,000 products to disperse to children in need, including cribs, books, backpacks, diapers and have received monetary donations from around the globe - from Guadalajara to Italy. You made this happen. Thank you.

Another potential secret giveaway is that Meghan’s make-up artist Daniel Martin, rumoured to be the baby’s godfather, arrived in London in the first week of April. He posted a cryptic photo to his Instagram stories of a historic building on Windsor's high street with the caption 'hmm'.

Royal fans believe he is her ego meet the royal child AND give Meghan the perfect hair and makeup when she has the official baby photo taken.

Daniel announced on Instagram he would be back in New York on May 5 which suggests Meghan will have given birth well before then.

Thirdly, we know the royal couple had NEVER wanted to tell the world of their baby news immediately - they wanted some time together before they had to face the world.

On Thursday Buckingham Palace made an announcement appealing for privacy after the birth.

The statement said: “Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private.

"The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family."

Fans read that last sentence to read that the couple have already become parents and will share it with the world when they feel ready.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have also said they have no plans to take part in a photo call hours after the baby’s arrival – like Kate Middleton has done with all three of her children.

Instead, they will release a photo outside their home in Windsor after the baby has arrived.

The Queen's former press secretary, Dickie Arbiter believes that we will hear about Baby Sussex exactly when Harry and Meghan want us to and not before.

"There aren’t going to be any advance notices and they will release any details once they've had time to bond with the baby,” he told Today Extra.
