Royal fans have been obsessed with Meghan Markle and her bump ever since she announced she was expecting. Here's everything you need to know about the Duchess of Sussex's pregnancy.

Last year was a huge one for the royal family with the arrival of Prince Louis and the royal weddings of both Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.

But 2019 is all about Meghan and Harry and their baby which is due in the spring.

And as we watch the Suits actress blossom before our very eyes, we can't help but keep a close eye on that cute baby bump. Here's how she's grown since the announcement:
