[00:07.20]Britain's Prince Harry and his American wife [00:11.88]Meghan Markle are expecting a child. [00:15.83]Kensington Palace tweeted the announcement Monday morning. [00:21.39]It read: "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex [00:27.29]are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex [00:31.00]is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019." [00:35.89]Markle had been wearing looser clothing for several weeks. [00:41.63]Then, on Friday, she wore a large coat to a royal wedding. [00:47.62]Media reports quickly spread that she was possibly [00:51.72]trying to hide signs of a pregnancy. [00:56.26]The couple has been married almost five months. [01:00.60]Their wedding ceremony last May in Windsor, England [01:05.12]was a hugely popular televised event. [01:08.78]The Duke and Dutchess are currently in Australia [01:13.29]at the start of a 16-day trip that will also include visits [01:18.91]to Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand. [01:22.91]The pregnancy news came out shortly after they landed in Sydney. [01:29.02]It set off a series of congratulatory posts on social media sites. [01:35.68]Many people are also guessing the sex of the baby, [01:40.07]making lists of possible names [01:42.87]and discussing the possibilities for its future in public service. [01:48.98]Some guesses are funny. American journalist Greg Pollowitz [01:55.40]posted that the child will be an American citizen [01:59.11]and might run for president someday. [02:02.80]He wrote, "Congratulations to Princess Meghan and Harry, [02:07.79]and to the #RoyalBaby who will one day rule the Great American Empire." [02:13.30]Another Twitter user posted that the baby will help, [02:17.66]' Make America Great (Britain) Again." [02:21.47]And that's What's Trending Today. [02:24.30]I'm Caty Weaver. 更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
