The royal father-to-be just revealed during a cycling event at the Invictus Games in Sydney on Sunday that he wants his first child with wife Meghan Markle, 37, to be a girl.

A video of the sweet moment posted by the Instagram fan account, Harry_Meghn_Up, shows a fan calling out to Harry, 34, that she hopes the baby “is a girl,” and Harry immediately responds, “So do I!” as he continues to walk along the bike path.

And while they toured around Melbourne on Friday, Harry appeared to hint at a preferred baby name — for a girl! He and Meghan met a fan with a baby named Harriet, who told UK outlet Sunday Express that Harry said: “That’s a great name.” Maybe Harriet — which is also the female version of his own name — will make the short list!

The names Diana and Charles (for the royal baby’s grandparents!) are also in the running.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared the news of the royal baby, due in the spring, on Monday, and have excitedly talked about their baby joy throughout the tour.

“First of all, thank you for the welcome you have given Meghan and I over the last few days,” Harry shared with the crowd gathered at the Sydney Opera House for the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games on Saturday. “I have been so proud to be able to introduce my wife to you and we have been so happy to be able to celebrate the personal joy of our newest addition with you all.”

He continued: “Our Invictus family has turned these games into a symbol of strength, honor and optimism for a new generation.”

At the end of their first day in Sydney, speaking at a reception at Admiralty House, Harry said that he and Meghan couldn’t think of a “better place” to tell the world of their big news.

“We also genuinely couldn’t think of a better place to announce the, er, upcoming baby,” Harry said, looking over to Meghan. Appearing slightly nervous, Harry added, “whether it’s a boy or a girl.”

The royal couple were also welcomed to Sydney with the first gifts for their little bundle of joy.

“That’s so cute, it’s our first baby gift!” Meghan, 37, said as she received a fluffy stuffed kangaroo (complete with a baby joey!) and fleece Ugg booties.
