Britain’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle expecting second child
- Valentine’s Day announcement was accompanied by a black and white photo of couple
- Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties a year ago and moved to California
Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are expecting their second child, their spokesman said in a Valentine’s Day announcement on Sunday.
The couple released a black and white image of them under a tree, all smiles, with Markle, 39, showing signs of pregnancy.
“We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother,” the spokesman said, referring to the couple’s son. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.”
Meghan and Harry, 36, who is Queen Elizabeth’s grandson, quit frontline royal duties in March last year and now live in California.
The news follows Markle’s disclosure in The New York Times in November that she had suffered a miscarriage in July.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “Her Majesty, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and the entire family are delighted and wish them well”.
