The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first baby soon, and people are dying to find out the baby's gender. While the couple has yet to make an official announcement, Us Weekly reports that Meghan spilled the beans to friends at her baby shower.
Drumroll please! Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly expecting… A BOY!
For months, it seemed that everyone was certain that Meghan and Harry were expecting a girl. Harry made a couple of comments about how he was hoping for a girl. Bookies who place bets on the baby's gender were so certain that it would be a girl that they closed betting.
Since then, there have been a number of mixed messages. Meghan explained at one point that they're keeping the gender as a "surprise," even for themselves.
That said, a source told Us Weekly that Meghan told her friends the baby's gender at her baby shower in New York last month.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first baby in less than two months.
Ever since they announced their pregnancy, fans have been desperate for information about the baby's gender.
Never mind that it's 2019 and gender reveals are so outdated these days. People REALLY WANT TO KNOW the sex of Meghan and Harry's baby.
The couple has yet to announce their baby's sex publicly. If previous royal pregnancies are any indication, they won't make any such announcement until the baby has arrived.
They have, however, hinted at the baby's possible gender more than once.
For example, one time Prince Harry told a young fan, "Everyone is predicting it's going to be a girl."
Shortly after, he admitted that he, too, is hoping for a girl.
Hoping is not the same as knowing, but fans were pretty sure that these statements were a sign nonetheless.
By mid-January, bookies had become so certain that the baby was a girl that they suspended bets. But then Meghan told an elementary school fan that the couple doesn't even know the baby's sex themselves yet, according to People.
"We don't know whether it's a boy or girl, we are keeping it as a surprise," she said.
Then Meghan celebrated her baby shower in New York last week. Her close pals were all there, including Abigail Spencer and Jessica Mulroney.
There were mixed messages at the shower regarding the baby's gender. On the one hand, both of Abigail's gifts were wrapped in blue.
On the other hand, most of the flowers and decorations at the baby shower were pink.
At this point, the couple might just be trying to confuse the heck out of fans — or maybe they really don't know the baby's gender after all!
However, Kensington Palace quickly stepped in to shut the gender fluid report down. They called the story "totally false."
That same week, sources told Us Weekly that Meghan and Harry do actually know the gender of their baby. Though they haven't let the public know, Meghan reportedly spilled the beans to friends at her baby shower.
The source says Meghan informed her friends that she is having a boy.
If true, this is huge news!
It should be noted that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex still haven't made any official announcement about the sex of their baby. Until they do, reports are just reports.
The duchess is due in late April or early May — royal fans everywhere will just have to wait until the baby is born to find out the gender for sure!
