When the royals announced Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle’s pregnancy in October, fans across social media immediately shared baby name recommendations for the couple. Prince Charles, 70, is now teasing the names his son and daughter-in-law are considering… and those that didn’t make the shortlist.

According to Daily Mail, while addressing guests at a reception at the Australia House in London last Thursday, the future King of England joked about Markle and Prince Harry‘s list of baby names.

“My son Harry tells me that during their recent tour of Australia he and his wife were offered countless, thoughtful suggestions for the naming of their forthcoming baby,” Charles told the crowd, etonline.com reports.

“Just between us,” he teased, “I suspect that Kylie and Shane may possibly make the short list. But ladies and gentlemen, I would not hold your breath for Edna or Les.”

Prince Charles was probably referring to Australian singer Kylie Minogue– not Kylie Jenner.

Meghan and Harry are expecting their first child together in spring of next year and Kensington Palace has revealed that the couple will be moving out of their two-bedroom apartment on the palace grounds and into the 10-bedroom Frogmore Cottage at Queen Elizabeth II‘s Windsor Castle.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate early next year as they prepare for the arrival of their first child. The couple have lived at Nottingham Cottage since their engagement last year,” the statement read. “Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate.”

Windsor Castle is where they took their engagement photos and held their evening wedding reception.

Markle and Prince Harry recently wrapped a 16-day royal tour, which took them to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.
