Meghan Markle releases maternity photo as she announces she is expecting her second child with Prince Harry

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their second child.

Representatives for the couple confirmed the news in a statement on Sunday.

IDOMA VOICE observed that the news coincide with Princess Diana’s announcement of her pregnancy with Prince Harry, on Valentine’s Day back in 1984.

The announcement was accompanied by a gorgeous black-and-white photo of the pair showing Meghan with her head in Harry’s lap as she cradles her baby bump.

“We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child,” a spokesperson for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced.

The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and the entire family are said to be “delighted” and to wish them well.

The baby will be eighth-in-line to the throne when he or she is born, after brother Archie in seventh place and Harry in sixth.

Meghan is expected to give birth in a US hospital, given that she and the Duke moved to the States in March 2020, after their decision to step back from royal life.
