The Duke of Sussex is set to travel to Holland for two days next week – leaving fans wondering if his wife Meghan has already given birth.
Harry, who is set to welcome his first child with Meghan any day now, will launch the one year countdown to the Invictus Games 2020 on the overseas trip next Wednesday, May 8, and Thursday, May 9.
Buckingham Palace announced the news of the royal visit in a statement this afternoon.

It read: “The Duke of Sussex will visit The Netherlands on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th May 2019.
“While in The Netherlands, The Duke will undertake an official engagement in Amsterdam.
“His Royal Highness will then travel to The Hague to officially launch the one year countdown to the Invictus Games The Hague 2020.”
The news left many royal fans wondering if Meghan has already had the baby or whether Harry will reschedule the trip if she goes into labour over the next few days.
One person wrote on Twitter: “So, Prince Harry, #DukeofSussex is off to the Netherlands on official business next week. Is the baby already here? Asking for a friend – or two.”
Another said: “I think the baby is already there if Harry can go to Netherlands on 8 and 9th May. Giving birth could go wrong for your wife or baby so you can’t already book a trip without knowing all things went right. But I am still perplexed.”

I think the baby is already there if Harry can go to Netherlands on 8 and 9th may. Giving birth could go wrong for your wife or baby so you can’t already book a trip without knowing all things went right. But I am still perplexed.

A third added: “Prince Harry to visit the Netherlands for two days next week… does this mean he is sure the baby will already have been born? Has it already been born? I am extremely confused.”

Others have pointed out that Harry may cancel the trip if Meghan goes into labour in the next few days.
It comes after Chris Evans teased that Harry and Meghan’s baby has already been born.
The Virgin Radio breakfast show presenter said this morning: “I think I know something” as he suggested that “there might be a new royal baby already”.

He then went on to claim that the Queen had visited the couple, following reports that she joined them at home in Frogmore Cottage at Windsor Castle over Easter weekend.
Harry and Meghan recently revealed they will not announce the birth of their first child straight away, as they would like time to “celebrate privately”.
