Baby Archie will soon be an older brother. Meghan and Harry are expecting their second child, a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed to CBS News on Sunday.
The couple is “delighted to be expecting their second child,” the spokesman added.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement on CBS News that Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and the whole family are “delighted” by the news of the new baby.
Photographer and friend Misan Harriman took a sweet picture of the remote duo, which appears to show a pregnant Meghan, and shared it on Sunday on social media. The black and white image shows the couple sitting on the grass under a tree.
“Meg, I was there at your wedding to witness this love story and my friend, I am honored to capture her growing up,” Harriman wrote. “Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on this good news.”
The news comes a few months after Meghan revealed that she suffered a miscarriage in July 2020. In a piece for the New York Times, she detailed the deep sadness and loss she and Harry experienced.
In the play, he wrote that he felt a strong ramp and fell to the ground just after he had changed Archie’s diaper. “I knew, when I took my first child, that I was losing the second,” he said.
Describing the “unbearable pain” of bringing a child within reach, Meghan wrote that it was an issue that remained “taboo, full of shame (unjustified) and perpetuating a cycle of lonely mourning.”
The couple married in 2018 and had few Archie in May of the following year.
The couple announced they were going down of their royal “superior” roles in early 2020, a decision that impacted the British establishment. The move came after it was reported that Meghan was very unhappy with the life of the royal family and tired of the constant media intrusion. Since then, the couple has moved to the United States and he now lives in California.
Although they may no longer work with the royal family, the couple has remained busy. They ended up in multi-year agreement with Spotify in December to host and produce “uplifting” audio projects and podcasts. They also signed an agreement with Netflix to create children’s programming, documentaries, feature films and scripted shows.
