Try not to scream: Meghan Markle is pregnant with baby number two!
"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 for the couple told People.
Royal correspondent and author Omid Scobie also confirmed the news on Twitter, along with a gorgeous new picture of the couple, which, Scobie explained in a later tweet, "was taken remotely by longtime friend of the couple, and photographer, Misan Harriman."
The news comes just months after Meghan revealed that she suffered a pregnancy loss last summer. In a November 2020 op-ed in the New York Times, Meghan shared a candid account of her experience and encouraged a more open conversation around pregnancy loss.
"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 wrote of the moment she realized her second pregnancy was ending. "I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second."
Meghan and Harry have also been open about the joy parenthood has brought them.
"It's been the most amazing experience I could ever possibly imagine," Harry said shortly after Archie's birth in 2019, according to People. "[We look forward to spending] precious times with him as he slowly, slowly starts to grow up."
Congratulations to Harry, Meghan, and Archie as their family grows!
