KEY POINTS

  • Meghan Markle is rumored to be pregnant
  • Meghan Markle could welcome baby number two in 2020
  • Meghan Markle could have a baby girl 

Meghan Markle has not confirmed her second pregnancy, but a royal expert is convinced that she may already be expecting baby number two with Prince Harry.

While speaking with 9 News Australia, Juliet Rieden said that it is possible for Prince Harry and Markle to return from their vacation in the United States to announce the Duchess of Sussex’s pregnancy. The royal commentator went on to say that the Sussexes may welcome the newest addition to their family sometime next year.

“I am hoping it’s going to be another Harry and Meghan baby. They have to get their skates on – they told us they want two and I think they might have another one next year. Who knows, she might even be pregnant now, we don’t know,” she said.

Rieden also said that Markle has a 50-50 chance of welcoming a baby boy or a baby girl next year. And it is unlikely that royal fans would know beforehand because she and Prince Harry kept Archie’s sex a secret until after he was born.

Shortly after Markle gave birth to her son, Archie, National Enquirer claimed that the Duchess of Sussex is pregnant again – and this around, she is expecting twins. But months passed and it was proven that the tabloid’s claims were unfounded.

And just last month, a source told OK! magazine that Markle already knows where she wants to give birth to her second child. Since she’s been struggling with her life in the United Kingdom, Prince Harry’s wife wants to give birth in the United States.

The plan seemingly makes sense after the source said that Markle also wants to stay with her mom, Doria Ragland, for three months post-birth. However, the claims of the unnamed source have not yet been confirmed or denied by the palace.

Kensington Palace was the one that announced Markle’s first pregnancy, and they will most likely be the first to confirm the Duchess of Sussex’s plans.
