It’s a very exciting time for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as they’ve just told the world they are expecting their first baby.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will welcome their new arrival in the spring, and like all parents-to-be they’ve got a lot of things to sort out.
One of the big decisions to make is a name – but it turns out they’ve already worked out how they’re going to discuss it.
During a tram ride with a group of excited schoolchildren, 12-year-old Charlie Wolf asked if the couple had any names for their baby.
She replied: "We’ve been given a long list of names from everyone, we’re going to sit down and have a look at them.
Meghan replied: "We’ve been given a long list of names from everyone, we’re going to sit down and have a look at them."
His pal 12-year-old Ella Burns added: "They weren’t sure yet. She said that she hadn’t thought of one as it was still quite early."
Charlie added that Harry fitted in easily with Australians.
He said: "If you didn’t know who he was you would just think he’s a good Aussie bloke.’"
Awkwardly, when asked by the Australian media whether he thought the country should have a British Royal family he replied: "Probably not, but they can come and visit any time they like."
Meghan and Harry appeared completely at ease as they took a tram to their last engagement of the day at the beach.
The youngsters who travelled with them are all captains in their schools, and were given the exciting news that they would be meeting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex just two weeks ago.
While the journey lasted less than five minutes, the pupils still managed to get in some pressing questions.
Lola Marinis, 12, from Middlepark Primary School, sat near Harry and told her she wanted to be a teacher when she grows up.
Harry told her it was "a really good thing," adding: "There is always going to be one bad teacher that you remember, we need more good teachers."
D’Artagnan Holt, an 18-year-old student from Elwood College, confided in Meghan that he wanted to become an actor.
He said: "She told me to pursue it, that there was a good industry [in] Australia."
Meanwhile Felix Asser-McCallum, 12, from Albert Park primary school, had a very special family connection to share with Harry.
Many years ago, his grandmother had danced with Prince Philip in Canberra. Felix had only discovered the story after he knew he would be meeting the Royal couple.
He said Harry had been "surprised," but responded: "Cool! That’s great!"

It is not the first time that a Royal has taken the humble mode of transport.
The Queen and Prince Phillip also enjoyed a tram trip during her 2011 visit.
Melbourne boasts the world’s largest urban tram network with 250km of track.
