  The speculation that Harry and Markle had a female baby turned out to be incorrect. Instead, they have a boy. That boy will be titled a prince when his father takes the throne. Regarding the labor, the Duchess has announced this happy news on her Instagram. However, perhaps some people would find this news amusing as the baby’s name is quite long and hard to remember.

  Hi Tara,

  First, thank you for this week’s audio news report.

  Second, I could understand the subject without seeing the text and could fill in the blanks all words except the words “royal” and “seventh”.
  I’m surprised why can’t I hear the easy words sometimes?

  Third, it’s the good news for us to hear about the birth of royal baby.

  Thank you and best wishes,
  Bijan from the Persian Gulf
