Rumours royal baby is overdue as Harry changes Holland trip for 'logistical reasons'

Royal fans have been left pondering if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's baby is overdue after Harry postponed part of a visit to Holland.
His trip to Amsterdam on May 8 will be rescheduled for a later date due to "logistical planning" concerns for the press covering royal events next week.

But his planned trip to The Hague on May 9 will still go ahead, a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said.
With wife Meghan, who visited Bristol with Harry in February, due to give birth any day now, there has been speculation about whether the visit, announced on Wednesday, would go ahead.
The palace said in a statement: "Due to the logistical planning for the travelling press to cover visits and engagements by the royal family, we have taken the decision to postpone the Duke of Sussex's scheduled visit to Amsterdam on Wednesday 8th May 2019.


"The Duke is currently scheduled to travel to The Hague on Thursday 9th May for the launch of the Invictus Games The Hague 2020 as planned."
The Invictus Games is a sporting event for injured servicemen and women and veterans founded by the duke.
Royal fans are on tenterhooks waiting for any news of the royal birth.
Meghan gave a clue about her due date when she told a well-wisher, during a visit to Birkenhead in January, that her baby was due at the end of April and beginning of May.
