Harry and Meghan didn’t plan on changing their itinerary despite travel advice that pregnant women should consider not travelling to the countries because of the moderate Zika virus risk. Kensington Palace shared that the couple had sought medical advice and decided to continue with their plans.

Their baby would be seventh in line to the throne, and the Queen's eighth great-grandchild. The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, Doria Ragland, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were said to be "delighted" for the couple.

Images recently taken of Meghan revealed that she already had a small baby bump showing. For her Monday visit, she wore a white dress called the Blessed dress, by Australian designer Karen Gee.

Her tiny baby bump was clearly visible.
