“The word is that Meghan is 15 weeks pregnant,” a source tells Star. “They’re both over the moon, of course, but Harry is absolutely beside himself with joy.”
Interestingly, rival mag OK! agrees that the actress is more than three months along.
Harry, who is already a doting uncle to brother Prince William and Kate Middleton’s two tots, “was eager to start his own family – and he didn’t want to wait any longer.”
The handsome ginger-haired royal, who is planning on dividing his time between the U.S. and the U.K. to be near Meghan - may face some opposition from Queen Elizabeth.
“Moving to America is bad enough, but she definitely would not take the news of a pregnancy well,” says Star's source. “But Harry sees how William and Kate are thoroughly modernising the monarchy, and that’s taken a lot of pressure off him to stick to the royal playbook.
“He’s already going against every expectation of what kind of woman he should settle down with – after all, Meghan is an older woman, an actress, an American and a divorcee.”
The source claims that in spite of the new development, neither Harry nor Meghan are in a rush to wed.
“In their case, it’s first comes love, then comes baby and then comes marriage,” adds the source.
The palace has yet to respond to Star and OK's allegations.
