George Clooney hints Meghan is due sooner than we thought

Ever since the news dropped that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting, fans have been running wild with speculations as to when her real due date may be.

And now the couple’s good friend George Clooney has given us yet another clue to go off while recently speaking out in defence of the Duchess and how she has been treated by the media.

“She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant and she has been pursued and vilified,” the 57-year-old actor said during a recent press tour.

And if he is right in saying that the Duchess of Sussex is ‘seven months’ along, then we should expect the arrival of the new bub earlier than we first thought.

Initially, Meghan let slip that she is due to give birth at the end of April or beginning of May, however, if she is already at seven months, then this date would more likely be the beginning to middle of April.

And as a longtime good friends of Harry and Meghan, we wouldn’t be surprised if George and his wife Amal Clooney – who attended the royal wedding together last May – really are in the know of the mystery due date.

Within the same speech, George also compared Meghan’s recent experiences to the likes of the late Princess Diana and discussed how “frustrating” it is.

“I do want to say, they’re just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere… in the same way that Diana was and its history repeating itself,” the Oceans Eleven star said.

“We’ve seen how that ends. I can’t tell you how frustrating that is, just seeing them broadcast a letter from a daughter to a father, she’s getting a raw deal there,” he added, referring to the letter Meghan wrote to her father Thomas Markle which he later leaked to the media.
