This annual event is his creation and it was via the games in 2017 in Toronto that Meghan Markle appeared in public for the first time. However, his travel plans remain tentative and could undergo modification depending on Meghan and the baby.
Speculation is rife

This would be in keeping with the decision of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to keep their plans for the baby's birth private.
They will share the news only after they have celebrated the occasion as a family. However, everything is shrouded in mystery and their fans will have to wait for some more time to know the actual picture and join in the celebrations to welcome Baby Sussex.
