12 Australian baby names that Meghan and Harry could choose for their little one

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that there’s another royal baby on the way.

The announcement was made on the first day of the Duke and Duchess’s royal tour to Australasia.

They’re currently in Australia and will also visit New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji over the next two weeks.
