Despite the fact that Meghan Markle [1] and Prince Harry have seemingly barely sat down during the last few months – hello, NYC baby shower and 16-day royal tour! — the Duchess of Sussex has officially taken a step back from the limelight [2] to prepare for her April due date.

According to People, although Meghan has no public appearances scheduled on the royal calendar, she's still attending a few small meetings. "There are plenty of private meetings taking place, [3]" said a source. "If she is to do something public it would be announced, but there are none that are scheduled." As a matter of fact, Meghan met with two representatives from the National Theatre — one of her patronages — at Kensington Palace on March 13.

Though Meghan is still taking a handful of private meetings, she will likely take a few months of maternity leave once the child is born. In the United Kingdom, women can take up to 52 weeks of maternity leave [4] and are actually required to take two full weeks after they give birth — or four weeks if they work in a factory. Prince Harry is also allegedly taking two weeks of paternity leave [5] to help with the new baby, so she certainly won't be going at motherhood alone. We seriously can't wait to see the couples' new bundle of joy!
