It's generally considered safe to announce a pregnancy from the 12-week mark, but Aussie singer Missy Higgins has claimed the 37-year-old former Suits actress is already four months pregnant.

The 35-year-old singer, who has toured with Ed Sheeran, brought her nine-week-old tot Lunar to meet the royals on Tuesday - just hours after the baby news broke.

Posting on Instagram after the event, she wrote: "What an honour to meet the beautiful Duchess today!

"She was such a sweetheart. I said I felt sorry for her having to do all these meet-and-greets while 4 months pregnant! What a trooper. "

Missy also praised Prince Harry, adding: "(He) was gorgeous too, a real charmer. He squeezed Luna’s legs and said 'who’s this little cutie?'

"Looking forward to telling Luna she slept through it all one day."

If Meghan gives birth in March, the royal baby will share a birthday month with Princess Eugenie (March 23) and Prince Edward (March 10).

Kensington Palace revealed the couple's first baby in due in Spring 2019 - which could be any time between March 20 and June 21.

If the baby is due in March, that would mean Meghan fell pregnant in mid-June - just a month after their gorgeous wedding at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
