“Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public,” a statement from the royal palace to People magazine reads.

The former “Suits” actress sparked rumors over the weekend that she indeed was pregnant with her first child when she arrived at the wedding for Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, Windsor, Britain, on Friday sporting what looked to be a baby bump underneath her navy blue coat.
