How Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Could Have Twins

Meghan Markle is not yet expecting her second child with Prince Harry. But royal fans are hoping that it wouldn’t take too long before a confirmation is made by the palace.

In the past, there have been rumors suggesting that the Duchess of Sussex may get pregnant with twins. Since she’s already 38 years old, it might be better for Markle to give birth to two babies during one safe pregnancy.

However, it is also quite difficult for the “Suits” alum to conceive twins. One of the ways that this may happen is if she’s undergoing fertility treatments. If Markle is undergoing IVF, the frequency of twin births could increase.

But it is unlikely that Prince Harry’s wife is undergoing fertility treatments because she didn’t have a hard time conceiving her first child. In fact, just three months after her royal wedding, she already became pregnant.

Markle’s chances of having twins could also increase if her family has the twin gene. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have it. And Prince Harry doesn’t have it either. Throughout the past six centuries, there have not been any records of twin pregnancies within the royal family.

Meanwhile, Markle’s chances of getting pregnant with twins are still not that low because she’s over the age of 30. Pregnant women at the age of 40 and above are likely to release more than one egg while ovulating.

And if Markle gets pregnant while she’s still breastfeeding her son, the hormonal fluctuations in her body may also increase her chances of having twins. The use of birth control pills and stopping it all of a sudden may also have the same effect on the Duchess of Sussex.

In related news, Prince Harry said during a previous interview that he and Markle will only have a maximum of two kids. But no one really knows if they will have another child or maybe even two in the next few months.
