Meghan Markle Pregnant Again: Prince Harry, Duchess Announce Second Baby After Miscarriage

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expecting their second child.

On Sunday, a rep for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced Markle is pregnant again but did not share the gender of the baby. Markle gave birth to a son, Archie, in May 2019.

“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 said in a statement to People.

The couple married in May 2018.

Meanwhile, a personal friend of the couple, Misan Harriman, captured and shared a maternity photo, TMZ noted. The image shared on Valentine’s Day features the couple in what appears to be a woodsy area celebrating Markle's growing baby bump.

“Meg, I was there at your wedding to witness this love story begin, and my friend, I am honored to capture it grow. Congratulations to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on this joyous news!” Harriman captioned the photo.

Markle, 39, had a miscarriage in July. The couple’s baby announcement Sunday comes more than a month after Markle submitted an essay about the miscarriage to the New York Times.

Markle revealed she was going about her typical morning routine when she realized she was having a miscarriage.

“After changing his diaper, I felt a sharp cramp. I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right,” she said.

“I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” she added.

Markle went on to detail the overwhelming grief she and her husband experienced following their loss.

In January 2020, the couple announced their decision to step down from their senior roles in the royal family. After concluding thier duties, the couple and Archie relocated to Markle's hometown of Los Angeles.
