Prince Harry just took the CUTEST photo of Meghan Markle cradling her baby bump

As if the excitement of two Royal Weddings and a Royal baby birth wasn't enough for 2018, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (AKA Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) then delighted fans by announcing they are expecting their first child in Spring 2019.

Just one day after their announcement at the beginning of October, the happy couple embarked on their first Royal tour as a married couple, visiting Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand, with Meghan showing no signs of fatigue.

But now, as the couple return to the UK, Kensington Palace have shared a never-before-seen picture of pregnant Meghan to their Instagram account, revealing Prince Harry took the photo.

The cute new photo shows Meghan cradling her growing baby bump on the last day of the tour at Redwoods Forest in Rotorua. The message accompanying the photo read, 'A message from The Duke and Duchess of Sussex: “Thank you New Zealand for the most wonderful last week of our tour. It has been a privilege to meet so many friendly Kiwis. Australia, Fiji, Tonga and NZ - we leave feeling inspired and reminded of how every single one of us can make a difference.” ‘The rain that refreshes the parched ground, is made up of single drops’ - Kate Sheppard.' sic

After tying the knot in a stunning ceremony at St George's Chapel back in May, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they are expecting their first child together in Spring 2019.

The news was announced last month on Twitter, with Kensington Palace tweeting, '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.'

After the extremely busy 16-day tour, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have now returned to the UK.
