Sophie Ellis-Bextor claims she knows what the royal baby’s name is.

The 40-year-old British singer, who has known the Meghan Markle for years, spoke about Baby Sussex’s arrival during a segment on ‘Good Morning Britain’ today.

When asked if she had any idea what the child’s called, the mum-of-five joked Meghan’s “sworn [her] to secrecy.”

The world’s due to get a first look at the royal baby for the first time tomorrow and it’s thought we might also find out his name.

How Sophie Ellis-Bexter knows the Duchess of Sussex

The pair were first pictured together at a party in Istanbul in 2015. Meghan is also a friend of the singer’s pilot husband, it would seem. In 2016, she posted a picture of herself with Jones while he was flying a plane, together with Soho House director Markus Anderson.

Sophie revealed to Hello! in 2017 that Meghan’s a “lovely girl.”

"We met her a couple of years back and she said she really liked the song [Murder on the Dance Floor] and we sort of spent a weekend away at something together and she was really lovely," she revealed.
