The Queen makes SECRET visit to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry - was it to meet baby Sussex?
Words by Maisie Bovingdon
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have the globe waiting in anticipation for the arrival of their first child together.
Prince Charles, make-up artist Daniel Martin and Serena Williams have all hinted to the Duchess of Sussex's due date, but the pair will not welcome their little one the traditional way Kate Middleton and Princess Diana did as the couple will not pose on the steps of the Lindo Wing with their newborn.
Now Queen Elizabeth II has sparked speculation baby Sussex has arrived as she has recently visited Frogmore Cottage, where Meghan and Harry live.
A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Her Majesty wanted to formally welcome the Sussexes to their new home so she was their first visitor.
'After all, they’ve practically moved into her back garden.
'She visited with other family members and Harry and Meghan were delighted to show them round.'
