The royal pair dropped by the event to give out prizes honoring servicemen and women who have suffered from wounds, injuries or illness and gone on to participate in sports for their recovery. Markle wasn’t the only one commenting on her pregnancy at the evening, either. Prince Harry also referred to his wife’s status, telling guests, “There’s a heavy baby in there!” [according to PEOPLE.](https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-says-prince-harry-best-dad-jokes-heavy-baby-in-her/) While the due date for the new royal is still under wraps, hints suggest that Markle plans to give birth around April. Before then, however, the couple are keeping busy: Markle has stepped up to accept a number of [royal roles](http://time.com/5499076/meghan-markle-queen-patronages/), and they even announced this week they will be undertaking [a trip to Morocco](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/1093809895487488000?s=20) at the request of the government later in February. They are also in the process of remodeling their planned royal residence, a house on the [Windsor](http://time.com/money/5463345/prince-harry-meghan-markle-frogmore/) estate outside of London. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5525186/meghan-markle-harry-best-dad/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5525186/meghan-markle-harry-best-dad/"},"headline":"Meghan Markle Already Knows Prince Harry Is Going to Deserve a 'Best Dad' Mug","datePublished":"2019-02-08T15:45:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:57:24.006Z","description":"They're already confident parents","url":"https://time.com/5525186/meghan-markle-harry-best-dad/","keywords":["Newsfeed","royals","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt107bdc3f9c5391c8/698944d5e76ad2b5f7634233/meghan-markle-prince-harry-endeavor-fund.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt107bdc3f9c5391c8/698944d5e76ad2b5f7634233/meghan-markle-prince-harry-endeavor-fund.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Duke & Duchess Of Sussex Attend The Endeavour Fund Awards","caption":"The Duke & Duchess Of Sussex Attend The Endeavour Fund Awards","creditText":"WPA Pool—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5525186/meghan-markle-harry-best-dad/","name":"Meghan Markle Already Knows Prince Harry Is Going to Deserve a 'Best Dad' Mug"}}]}] ```
