Big hint Meghan is further along in pregnancy

WHILE most media outlets are reporting Meghan is only 12 weeks pregnant, a slip up on social media seems to have revealed her real due date.

IT HAS been widely reported that Meghan Markle is 12 weeks pregnant, but a social media slip-up from earlier this week appears to have revealed her real due date.

On Tuesday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended an afternoon reception at Admiralty House.

At the event Meghan was photographed chatting to Missy Higgins, doting over the singer’s nine-week-old baby Luna.

Later that day Higgins shared an Instagram post of her meeting with the Meghan, detailing their conversation and praising the Duchess for tackling a day of engagements while four months pregnant.

Higgins’ post of her conversation with Meghan appears to reveal her real due date, contradicting reports from multiple media outlets that Meghan is three months pregnant and has recently had her 12 week scan.

But if Meghan was further along in her pregnancy it would also explain why she has been able to tackle such a hectic tour schedule with ease (apart from a few secret breaks).

Many pregnant women still experience morning sickness between the 12-14 week mark, meaning a full day of engagements would have been difficult for Meghan if she was still experiencing symptoms.

Kensington Palace confirmed on Monday that Meghan and Harry were expecting their first child in the UK spring, which runs from March 20 to June 21.

It came after weeks of speculation that Meghan was pregnant, with the Duchess of Sussex wearing a loose fitting coat at Eugenie’s wedding last week and clutching a purple folder in front of her stomach when she arrived in Sydney on Monday.
