Turns out, Prince Harry is hoping for a daughter.
The Duke of Sussex is currently on his 16-day royal tour with Meghan Markle.
US Weekly obtained a video in which Prince Harry can be seen walking down a street in Sydney, Australia, as someone can be heard yelling out, "I hope it's a girl." After that, Harry pauses for a beat to turn toward the speaker and says, "So do I."
The pair revealed that they are expecting with an announcement from Kensington Palace on Monday, October 15 - the same day they arrived in Australia. "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019," it read. "Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public."
It was also revealed that the Duchess of Sussex, owing to her pregnancy, will reduce her engagements for the rest tour.
Prince Harry, sixth in line to the British throne, and Markle got married on May 19 at Windsor Castle's St. George's Chapel.
