Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan discuss baby names on Melbourne tram

Just as Prince Harry and Meghan touched down in Sydney to kickstart their 16-day royal tour, Kensington Palace announced that the couple are expecting their first child in the northern hemisphere spring next year.

Since then, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been flooded with congratulations and baby talk as they set out to complete their 76 official engagements.

And yesterday, a brave school boy asked the question that the world wants to know – what they are going to name their firstborn?

While the royals travelled on a Melbourne tram, 12-year-old Charlie Wolf asked the couple about the names they are considering for their first child.

“We’ve been given a long list of names from everyone, we’re going to sit down and have a look at them,” Meghan replied.

The newlyweds took the tram to the beach to meet lifeguards and volunteers that help keep the beach clean.

This morning, Harry and Meghan visited Sydney’s Bondi Beach to take part in OneWave, an initiative that raises awareness about mental health in a fun way.

Later this evening, Prince Harry will be joined by Prime Minister Scott Morrison as he climbs the Sydney Harbour Bridge to mount the Invictus Games flag.

Tomorrow the royals will attend the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games, which will take place at the Sydney Opera House.

It is expected that the 34-year-old prince will give a speech to fans and athletes during the opening ceremony.

He will return for the closing ceremony on October 27.
