April 18 – Royal Maundy Service
Prince Harry and Meghan’s baby could be born on a very special occasion for the Queen. Every year, Her Majesty visits St George’s Chapel to hand out silver coins – known as Maundy Money – to 92 women and 92 men from the local community. The event takes place the Thursday before Easter Sunday, which is the day Christians mark Jesus’s Last Supper. The Queen marks it by handing out special coins to pensioners. This year, they will be in celebration of women getting the right to vote.
This would be a very fitting day for Baby Sussex to enter the royal fold, given their parents’ passion for women’s rights.

April 21 – The Queen's 93rd birthday
Given Duchess Meghan’s prospective late April due date, it’s possible Baby Sussex could be born on one of the most important days of the year for the monarchy – Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday! It would be quite a heartwarming present for the next royal baby’s great-grandmother.

April 21 – Easter Sunday
Every year, members of British royalty gather together at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in their Sunday best. This year, the special service – which also lands on the Queen’s birthday – may also mark Baby Sussex’s birth.

April 22 – Earth Day
Earth Day is an important celebration for the Royal Family, given that so many of its senior members take environmental conservation very seriously. Prince Charles has been involved for decades, and is known to have taught his kids how to recycle and pick up trash from a very young age, during a time when taking good care of the planet wasn't as well known. It's likely that Harry and Meghan will pass along their passion for conservation to their baby, who could very well be born on Earth Day this year.

May 12 – Mother’s Day
If Baby Sussexreally decides to hang on until the last minute, the child could be born on Duchess Meghan’s first-ever Mother’s Day!
