Mama Markle attended the royal wedding of Princess Eugenie of York on Oct. 12 and many proclaimed she stole the thunder with pregnancy rumors.  Markle refused to take off her jacket throughout the ceremony and looked a little heavier.

“I’m telling you now Meghan Markle is pregnant,” Twitter user @rebekkaarnold wrote.

I stayed up just to see what Meghan Markle is wearing and if she looks pregnant. She’s wore a long blue jacket that she didn’t take off in the Church. Could she be hiding something? 😳#RoyalWedding pic.twitter.com/uwm7nNVtv0

Most of the Internet is celebrating the royal baby, who will be part African American adding more color to the crown.

Theologian Dr. J Kally Williams wrote on Twitter, ”Hallelujah! The fervent prayers of all well-wishers have been ANSWERED by the Living God. We all rejoice with #HarryandMeghan.

“I hope and pray that the pregnancy will go very well without any hitch. That we shall see the arrival of a healthy baby in the near future!  God bless.”

Others are poking fun at the possibilities of the baby’s looks for laughs.

Markle is said to be about 12-weeks along in her pregnancy Cosmopolitan reported.
