Meghan Markle’s due date is today.
The Sun reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are relaxed about the arrival of their first child.
A royal source said: “It won’t be long now. Meghan’s really excited. Of course she’s nervous like any first-time mum but she and Harry can’t wait.”
“She’s been preparing for the birth – she wants it to be as natural as possible – and so has been practising hypnobirthing and breathing techniques with Harry.
“It’s been a huge support having her mum by her side and now she’s just getting as much rest as she can.”
Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland has been by the former Suits actress’ side for over a week.
The Sun also reports that Meghan wants to stay at home for as long as possible once she goes into labour.
The source added: “The plan has never changed, Meghan has been very clear what she wants. She is taking medical advice daily and she and Harry are very flexible and will be guided by their team.
“When she goes into labour, she wants to remain at home for as long as possible but she’s in a situation where if something did go wrong and she had to be whisked to hospital, she would be.
“There have been some ridiculous things said about her birth plan.
“Yes, she would like a female-led delivery, but the suggestion that the Queen’s doctors have been banned is just not true.
“Alan Farthing and Guy Thorpe-Beeston are involved in the planning and in the team as a whole, and it just depends how it all goes on whether they’re needed.”
