As fans of the royal family are no doubt aware, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting their first child any day now.

The Duchess and Duke of Sussex have kept basically all the details about Baby Sussex private. However, fans are now convinced that Buckingham Palace may have revealed some fairly big details - Baby Sussex's name and gender. The Daily Star report that a page on Buckingham Palace's website has been 'reserved' for three names: Prince Arthur, Prince James and Prince Alexander.

If you're visiting the site and try to access pages with the URLs of www.royal.uk/prince-arthur, www.royal.uk/prince-james and www.royal.uk/prince-alexander, you get redirected to the homepage. However, if you try and access the pages for other rumoured names. you get redirected to a 'page not found'. It's worth noting that this doesn't necessarily mean the Sussexes are expecting a baby boy - or even that this would be the child's name. After al, it could just be some kind of technical glitch.

It comes as ITV's royal editor Chris Ship appeared on Good Morning Britain last week, where he said that news of Baby Sussex's arrival is "imminent". He said:

"We know the baby is due, in fact I can tell you that the due date is pretty much today. Today, tomorrow, we really are in the realms of imminent arrival. "Has it happened overnight? Well, put it this way, we haven't been told that it's happened overnight, but it's definitely any day now."

He added that while "the birth is imminent", it was unclear whether Meghan was planning for a home birth or would be delivering at a hospital. He continued:

"We don't know whether she is going to have it at home, we think she's going to try to but we don't know for sure. "If she's going to hospital, they're not going to tell us which hospital and they're going to try and get her into hospital and back out again before they've even informed us of where that location is. "We will be told when she's comfortably in labour, when she's given birth to a boy or a girl and then there will be a photocall of some sort some days afterwards, very small, very controlled and very much arranged by the Sussexes themselves."
