“We do, however, need to keep it there as the amount of plastic entering the ocean every year is, unbelievably, set to get worse rather than better. We cannot indeed must not, allow this situation to continue."

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan announced her pregnancy on the first day of their Australian tour. The Queen was delighted when the news was shared with her earlier that week.
Meghan's mother Doria Ragland is also delighted with the news and said she looks forward to being a grandmother.
The announcement came as no surprise, as Harry said in their engagement interview that they were hoping to "start a family in the near future."
Back in November, the prince said that they had no current plans for children and that they will take it one step at a time.
