Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been pretty private about the child they have on the way.
And considering any Royal Baby news is an international headline, even if there’s no chance the child could ascend to the throne, that’s been pretty darn difficult.
Aaaaaand it doesn’t help when your besties are also celebs who give TV interviews on the reg.

Last week Serena Williams spoke with E! News about tennis and motherhood… and may have given a bit TOO much inside information about her pal Meghan’s progeny.
The tennis star, who gave birth to her first child with baby daddy Alexis Ohanian back in September 2017, was asked what her best piece of advice for new moms would be.
After all, she’s had 19 months to get the hang of the whole motherhood thing — while getting back to work on the court.
She said:
“Accept mistakes and don’t expect to be perfect. We put so much pressure on ourselves.”
Very wise. But then she used a current example…
“My friend is pregnant. And she was like, ‘Oh, my kid’s gonna do this,’ and I just looked at her and was like, ‘No, she’s not.'”
No she’s not??
The she there definitely refers to the child. So is the Duchess of Sussex having a little girl??
Of course, we don’t know for sure she was talking about Meghan. She could have another preggers pal we don’t know anything about.
But odds seem pretty good…
Especially when Serena seemed like she was catching a mistake, immediately changing her wording to:
“I’m just like, ‘No, you’re not.'”
Ha!
Unfortunately everything she said from then on out could have been referring to anyone. She continued:
“And she started laughing, like, ‘Well I need to talk to you about tips, I’m like, ‘Yes, because I had all those high expectations and then I had what I was going to do, and I was going to recover, and I was going to be great, and it’s like, this is a time where, you know, it’s just, everything is not gonna go as planned. My whole life is so planned and this was the one time where it wasn’t, and so, you just gotta go with the flow.”
See? Very good advice for any new parent.
But was she talking to Meghan??
One piece of evidence against the theory: Harry and Meghan reportedly refused to learn the sex of their baby. Remember, they planned a very drab-sounding gray-and-white gender neutral nursery for their haunted house?
Of course, that was a few weeks ago, and with all the checkups and ultrasounds they may have bit the bullet since then.
