Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement back in November, following a statement from Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip who said they were "delighted for the couple and wish them every happiness." Prince Harry proposed at Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace in London, and the world watched as they tied the knot in May at St. George’s Chapel. Now, the royal couple is enjoying even more happiness — The Kensington Palace has announced that they're expecting.
"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," the Kensington Palace tweeted, announcing that Markle is about 12 weeks along.
Of course, Twitter reacted with pure excitement. Here are 10 tweets that perfectly sum up how the world feels about the pregnancy.
