By April – The biggest event in 2019 will be the arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first child. “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019,” Kensington Palace said in a statement released in October. It is widely believed that the child will be due in April.

April 21 – It’s the Queen’s real birthday. She will turn 93 on this day.

April 23 – Prince Louis turns 1.

May 2 – Princess Charlotte turns 4.

May 18 – A royal wedding will take place on this day. Lady Gabriella Windsor (daughter of the Queen’s cousin, Prince Michael of Kent) is set to marry Tom Kingston at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. It’s the same venue where Harry and Meghan wed last year, as well as Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.

May 19 – It will be Prince Harry and Meghan’s first year as a married couple.
