Any children they have will be a HRH with the Prince/Princess of Sussex title, and will be 7th in line to the throne.

Congratulations!

saw that one coming a mile off!! shame they couldn't really wait to NOT take the spotlight off Eugenie

also @-:Undertaker:-; they won't be a prince/princess unless the Queen issues a letters patent!! Which I assume she will, but not automatic.

@lawrawrrr;

Yeah I read that, I am sure they will be though as grandchildren of the next King.

In the event they are not issued, they will be titled Lord/Lady X Windsor with the eldest boy titled Earl of Dumbarton.

Dumb-arton? What the hell.

And they didn't wait long did they! Two months after marriage... (considering she is 12 weeks pregnant)

Tour of Down Under underway, meeting the Governor-General and a rather sweet moment with an elderly crowd member too.

#RoyalVisitAustralia is underway! 🇦🇺

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were officially welcomed by Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove and Lady Cosgrove at Admiralty House, Kirribilli.
