Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry are expecting the birth of their first child any day now, and royal baby watch has reached absolute fever pitch.
While it’s not known whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first baby will be a boy or girl, according to the bookies the majority of the public believe it’s going to be a girl and if that’s the case, Baby Sussex could be inheriting a very special heirloom from Meghan.

Back in 2015, the former Suits actress revealed to HELLO! Canada that she owns a Cartier Tank Française watch which she wants to pass on to a daughter.
“I’ve always coveted the Cartier French Watch,” she told the publication.
“When I found out Suits had been picked up for our third season – which, at the time, felt like such a milestone – I totally splurged and bought the two-tone version [of the watch].
“I had it engraved on the back, ‘To M.M. From M.M.’ And I plan to give it to my daughter one day.
“That’s what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them,” she added.

And it’s the engraving on the watch that has some royal fans convinced that if Meghan is to have a daughter, she’ll be naming it something beginning with an ‘M’.
Their top pick? Mary.
The special timepiece also has a lovely connection with Meghan’s late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who according to the New York Times was a long-time fan of the iconic Cartier Tank design.
According to the publication Princess Diana owned two Tank watches – a Tank Louis Cartier and an all-gold Tank Française.

While Meghan was said to be due to give birth in late April or early May, with Prince Harry making a solo appearance at the London Marathon on Sunday, it has many people speculating that the baby is perhaps further away than previously expected.
The Duke of Sussex was all smiles as he attended the marathon, where he cheered on runners, thanked volunteers for their selfless support and congratulated the winners, as patron of The London Marathon Charitable Trust.
The Sussex’s official Instagram account shared a carousel of images from the day, explaining that Prince Harry has been patron of the Trust since 2012 as he “believes that mental fitness is absolutely crucial to our wellbeing.”
Last week the Prince also attended the Anzac Day service at Westminster Abbey with his sister-in-law Duchess Catherine.
Having served ten years in the military himself, including two tours in Afghanistan, the Duke completed his time of service with four weeks in the Australian Defence Force and during their royal tour in Australia last year, Harry and Meghan both paid their respects at the Anzac memorial in Sydney.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry’s brother Prince William attended an Anzac service in Auckland, during his two-day visit to New Zealand on behalf of the Queen to pay tribute to those killed in the Christchurch terror attacks earlier this year.
During a walkabout in Christchurch Prince William revealed he had “no idea” when Baby Sussex would be arriving, joking the public would know about the baby’s arrival before he did.
