Harry is currently sixth in line to the British throne — behind his older brotherPrince William’s three young children:Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Harry’s son or daughter will bejust behind their father in the seventh position. And any future children Harry and Meghan may have will follow their older sibling.
This means thatPrince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth’s second son who iscurrently seventh in line,will be bumped to the eighth spot. His two daughters,Princess BeatriceandPrincess Eugenie, will also move down a spot along with the rest of the heirs.

Kitty Dudley, 9, said, “Meghan came up to me and asked me how old I was and where I went to school. I could see her bump and I asked if she was having a boy or a girl and she said, ‘We don’t know whether it’s a boy or girl, we are keeping it as a surprise.' "
