A seventh royal is now in line for the British throne, as Prince Harry and his wife of nearly five months, Meghan Markle, have announced that they are pregnant with their first child, due in the spring. He is 34 and she is 37.\u00a0The Guardian shared<\/a> Kensington Palace’s announcement, which stated, “Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May<\/a> and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are on a 16-day international trip to Australia, which coincides with the Invictus Games. According to the Associated Press<\/a>, “The sporting event, founded by Harry in 2014, gives sick and injured military personnel and veterans the opportunity to compete in sports such as wheelchair basketball.”<\/p>\n

Some have lamented the fact that the couple’s announcement may have been poorly timed<\/a>, as it falls on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. However, most give the benefit of the doubt that the couple simply wasn’t aware of the day. According to the UK Daily Mail, Meghan has had a “successful 12 week scan.”<\/p>\n
