Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's baby 'nicknamed after hotel where tot was conceived'

The much-awaited next royal baby could be called 'Clive', according to some.

Staff at Cliveden House in Berkshire have given the moniker to Harry and Meghan's unborn child, should it be a boy.

The joke is the child was conceived at the £500-a-night five-star venue.

The Mirror reports after former Suits star Meghan fell in love with the plac, she and Harry regularly stayed there last summer and autumn.

A source told the Sun: “Harry and Meghan were always popping back to Cliveden for romantic stays after their wedding.

“They spent a number of days there last summer and autumn.

“Staff are joking that their baby is a Cliveden baby and if it’s a boy they should call him Clive, as they enjoyed their time so much there."

The source said Harry and his wife often stayed in a private cottage in the hotel's grounds and not many people knew they were there.

That was until they took the ladies' exercise class by surprise as they walked by.

Cliveden House was first built in 1666 for the Duke of Buckingham.

In 1961 it was catapulted into the national spotlight when 19-year-old Christine Keeler and then 46-year-old Secretary of State for War John Profumo met at a pool party at the house - sparking a major political scandal.

For the past two years Cliveden House has hosted a literary festival.

Spring Cottage boasts three bedrooms, private gardens, its own kitchen and dining room, plus a private River Thames boat launch mooring for £2,055 a night.
