THE Duchess of Sussex is “running on adrenaline” during her first royal tour while pregnant but is “feeling pretty well so far”.

Meghan’s pregnancy was announced by Kensington Palace on the eve of her and the Duke of Sussex’s 16-day tour which will take in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.

During a visit to the drought-affected city of Dubbo, the duchess spoke to farmer Emily Carroll about motherhood and made a fuss of her baby Ruby.

The 33-year-old said: “They both had a little tickle with her.

“She’s normally in bed at 10.30am but we had to stay up for this. She’s done so well.

“Meghan told me that she’s feeling pretty good so far, which is great, and that she’s running on adrenaline.”
