Meghan Markle has gone into labour, Buckingham Palace has announced.
It is understood the Duchess of Sussex went into labour in the early hours of this morning and she is currently with Prince Harry at her side.
In a break from royal tradition, the couple have chosen to keep details about the birth plan a secret.
This means it is unclear if Meghan is in hospital or having a home birth.
Ahead of the birth, the duke and duchess made a personal decision to keep the arrangements private, amid speculation they had opted for a home birth at their new home Frogmore Cottage, close to the Queen's Windsor Castle home.
Harry and Meghan's baby will be seventh in line to the throne and the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's eighth great-grandchild, and a fourth grandchild for the Prince of Wales.
The baby's sex will be a surprise for the couple, who have chosen not to find out what they were having.
They have said they will only share the news of the baby's arrival once they have had a chance to celebrate privately as a family.

The American former actress and the duke moved into their renovated home Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate at the beginning of April, as they prepared for their baby's arrival.
