Can you guess?

2018 was a whirlwind year for the royal family, what with the weddings of both Meghan Markle & Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie & Jack Brooksbank taking place.

What's more both Kate Middleton and Zara Tindall gave birth, welcoming a son, Prince Louis and a daughter, Lena respectively, and bringing the Queen's great-grandchildren total to seven.

2019 is already set to be equally as eventful for the royals, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex expecting their first child in the spring. Meghan recently opened up about her due date, which will likely be some time in April.

With four or five months left to go until the baby's arrival later this year, the parents-to-be are already making plans for after the birth.

After the baby's arrival, Meghan is planning on making a trip to America and Canada according to royal experts, and will of course take her newborn with her.

Before the pregnancy, she and Prince Harry were originally planning on visiting the States in early 2019, so are postponing the trip by a few months until after Meghan has given birth.

It's expected that the couple will visit Meghan's mother Doria Ragland, who lives in Los Angeles, as well as visiting some of the duchess's friends who are based in the US. During her time on Suits Meghan lived in Canada, so we're sure the couple will pay a visit to some of her old haunts too.

We can't wait to hear news of the couple's first child and their trip after his or her arrival – it'll come around quick!
