Meghan Markle just sparked rumors that she’s pregnant with her second child. Eagle-eyed fans claimed that the Duchess of Sussex is sporting a growing baby bump while in South Africa.

After photos of Markle wearing a recycled blue dress made headlines, royal fans said that Prince Harry’s wife just dropped a major pregnancy clue. This is because the Duchess of Sussex was wearing the exact same attire when her first pregnancy was announced while she was in Australia. But this time around, no announcement has been made.

Days later, a photo of Markle seemingly sporting a growing baby bump also made headlines. In the snap, the “Suits” alum is wearing a striped dress that looks tight around her stomach area. After seeing the photo, royal fans couldn’t help but assume that Markle is expecting her second child.

John Hill, a spokesperson for bookies Coral, told Mirror that where there’s smoke there’s usually fire. But it is important to note that Hill’s statement was first said in June, which means that by now, Markle should already be more than three months pregnant.

New Idea linked Hill’s statement with Markle’s recent photo in South Africa to create a story about the Duchess of Sussex’s alleged pregnancy. The publication also tied both storylines to another story.

Months ago, it was reported that Prince Harry told royal fans during his engagement that he hopes that his first child is a girl. And Markle previously purchased a Cartier watch as an heirloom and said that when she has a daughter of her own, she would give her one so that they will have a matching bracelet.

The publication said that this suggests that Markle could be pregnant with a baby girl. And the publication’s headline also suggests the same thing: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s joy: A baby sister for Archie.”

However, it is important to note that these claims should be taken with a grain of salt.
