It comes after Megan revealed that she would be giving birth in Germany, where her partner Oli plays football. Announcing her move to Germany in a TikTok video, she said: “Guess what? I'm moving to Germany." She continued: "I know I did some Stories yesterday about packing and a few of you thought I was going into labour, but no, let's hope I don't go into labour because I am now giving birth in Germany.”
Before the unexpected move, Megan had chosen the Lindo Wing in St Mary's Hospital in London to give birth and was looking forward to posing on the same steps that Kate Middleton did after welcoming her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. It's also the place where Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William and Prince Harry.
Megan and Oli announced their pregnancy back in April, just nine months after the pair announced their engagement. She posted a video charting her pregnancy so far alongside the caption: “A little bit of you & a little bit of me… now we’re a family” - sending fans into a frenzy.
Megan and Birmingham City star Oliver's have enjoyed a whirlwind romance since they first went public with their relationship in April last year. The pair stunned fans when they announced their engagement just two months later with a romantic proposal video showing the moment the footballer got down on one knee while holidaying with the reality star in Montenegro. Megan told fans: "YES YES YES a thousand times YES. You have opened up a world I never thought was possible. I love you Oliver Burke… here’s to forever my future husband."
