Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s family hasn’t grown…yet! As of early Thursday morning, May 2, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have yet to welcome their child. In a statement to CBS, the palace revealed that baby Sussex “hasn’t been born yet.” Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, are set to welcome their little bundle any day now but have opted to keep the details under wraps. In April, the royal duo released a statement of gratitude for their fans – and gave royal watchers an update on their plan for the grand arrival of their child.

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.”

During an engagement last month, the Duke confirmed that he is ready for fatherhood. “Of course, I am excited. Very excited,” he told one royal watcher. Baby Sussex’s due date isn’t the only aspect the royal parents are keeping a secret.
