When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced Markle’s pregnancy this fall, they weren’t just making news; they were making history.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared their good news about Markle’s baby on Twitter through the Kensington Palace Twitter account just before embarking on their royal tour to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand in October.
