MEGHAN Markle let the cat out of the bag yesterday by telling a fan she's due late April or the beginning of May.

That means, after months of speculation, we now know that the Royal Baby will be either an Aries or a Taurus. A ram, or a bull.

But what does that mean for the parents-do-be and their home dynamic as a family?

Our resident Tarotscope columnist and horoscope guru, Kerry King gives us the low-down.

Born between March 21 and April 20: Aries

"Buckle up, Harry and Meghan (and nannies), because this sign is FULL of energy!

The first sign of the zodiac and therefore a perennial toddler, in many ways i.e. adorable, loving, playful… wilful, self-absorbed, challenging.

Many think Aries are natural-born leaders.

They certainly think highly of themselves (until you get REALLY deep down), so they tend to tackle everything head-on and as though they can handle it, whatever it is.

This leads them into some, frankly, hilarious (dangerous?) escapades.

If they can sky dive / bungee / para glide rather than just take the lift… they would!

So, in layman's terms - this child could cause havoc!

Aries is ruled by Mars- the God of war.

So, this sign is not afraid of conflict, of assertion, of competition (everything is a competition in their eyes), of taking on what they perceive to be wrongdoings and wrongdoers.

They are usually very fair people, and have an innate protectiveness for the under-dog.

Everyone needs an Aries in their corner (unless it’s the corner they’re fighting over…)!

Meghan is a Leo, which makes her a fellow Fire sign.

This elemental group are passionate, strong willed and forthright.

She will “get” her child’s impetuousness and rebellious streak (in fact, dare I say, encourage it).

Harry, as a glacial and perfectionist Virgo, may struggle a little more here.

“What the devil is that child doing NOW?” may be a frequent refrain in the Sussex cottage."

Born between April 21 and May 21: Taurus

"The zodiac’s bull is stoic, determined and physical and practical.

The “real world” is their domain, and they think deeply about WHY stuff happens, and what it means to them and their world view.

All this analysis and pondering can make them seem, dare I say, “slow” to others, but really they’re just giving things their due consideration.

If you want the “right” answer, ask a Taurean (they’ll have thought it through properly).

As children, Taureans are affectionate, loving and usually pretty easy (don’t jinx it!) to handle.

Until you disagree with them OR they disobey you.

At that point, abandon all hope, Harry and Meghan. This child will NOT be swayed from their course of action. They are STUBBORN!

Harry, as a Virgo, will try to reason (and fail).

Meghan, as a Leo, may initially cajole and then lose her rag.

Because of Taureans’ love of the physical world, comfort is very important to them.

They appreciate the finer things in life so being born to these two will make this lil’ Taurean a happy bean, indeed!

Another quirk of Taureans is their possessiveness.

They like their “stuff” to be left alone, they don’t share well, they guard their property (and look after it) meticulously.

Should other siblings, or cousins, or play dates, DARE to eye up that fire engine / dolls house / ipad there will be HELL to pay."

So, will Harry and Meghan be raising a future dare-devil, fiery leader… or a thoughtful, material-world stoic?

Will they be embroiled in a Battle Royale with their impetuous offspring, or a Battle of Wills with their stubborn mini-me?
