NZ visit, baby watch: Busy week for Royal family

It's a busy Easter for the royals.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are on baby watch, today's is the Queen's birthday - and Tuesday's is Prince Louis' first birthday.

Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers told Francesca Rudkin the new royal baby could come any day now

He says Prince Harry and Meghan will be more private - there will be no post-labour photos on the hospital steps.

"Harry and Meghan are used to doing things on their own way now, we've definitely going to see tread a different path. We will be told when she's in labour, and then I suppose the world will await news of a Royal baby. It's an exciting time, that's for sure."

Myers dismissed rumours that the baby has already been born, saying he has been assured Meghan is still pregnant.

Prince William will also have a busy week, as he heads to New Zealand for a quick visit next week.

The Duke of Cambridge will attend ANZAC Day commemorations on Thursday.

On Friday he will spend time with mosque shooting survivors and their families, while also meeting with first responders and the wider Muslim community.

Myers says news of the visit has been well received in the UK.

"He'll be representing Her Majesty the Queen herself, who doesn't travel these days. Over the last year, we've seen William develop into the statesman like role which I think we'll be seeing a lot more of."

Prince William also visited New Zealand following the Christchurch earthquakes in 2011.

He was last here in 2014 with the Duchess of Cambridge.
